I wonder how many people will put off to upgrade with the supposedly lack of Street View & ad-free YouTube. Some got quite 'upset' about those removals. Although Apple stated Googles' contract expired and they didn't renew, IIRC.
Will the download of iOS6 for current iPhones be less, percentage-wise, compared to iOS5?

With the vast majority of mobile traffic coming from Apple devices Google have no choice I would have thought but to make apps for anything missing in iOS6 and pray people download them.
Any developers out there know how iOS 6 performs on an iPhone 3GS? What features have been left out? Does it feel cumbersome and irritating like iOS 5 does for me right now, or is it optimized for speed on a 3GS?

I wonder if the 4s will gain Panorama after update to iOS 6?
According to this it will:

However, I suspect it may be a mistake - much like where they seem to have the model numbers mixed up here:

Unless I missed something, I wish they talked more about car manufacturers and siri, I would love to have this feature in my Audi. But either way I can't wait for IOS 6. The other thing that I was hoping for was some type of case or smart cover for the new phone. Seems like revenue they are missing out on and until other manufacturers get there hands on the device, they won't be able to start making cases.
Well, I'm excited. Anyone can link any article about what's new in iOS6 for new iPad?
