New Apple Lust Objects for 2010 and onward

they don't do a very good job of making it look like you need to. it's pretty clear.

Completely missed your post, caek, sorry. I hate being that guy.

fist bump

This is very good.

So is the new Flickr app, btw. Bye, Instagram

ok so might be ready to update to iOS6 now - is the app OK, street view works as before?

brilliantly

it's all slightly different of course, but accounted for

is there a way to orient the map the same way as the iphone?

found that very useful coming out of subway stations, etc.?

i see you can turn the map arbitrarily, but can if figure out which way you've got the phone pointing

got it, ignore me

Ooh, two finger swipe down gives you a 3d view including buildings. And the tube map overlay is really nice too. This is grebt.

Yeah, this is great!

So, should I upgrade my iphone 4 to OS6 now? Only things stopping me are fear of it being slow, and google maps. But will I now have apple maps in citymapper, rather than google ones, even after updating? I've seen talk of a google maps API, but not sure what this will mean in practice.

And, tagging on, should I upgrade a 3G?....

My 3Gs is on iOS 6 and it's about the same speed it was on 5, tbh.

You do have apple maps in citymapper, unfortunately. But the transit directions I tried in the new maps app earlier were spot-on.

Just upgraded and it's stuck a Passbook app on my first screen, can't remember what was in its spot before :/

what are the other good Google iOS apps? I love gmail so much that I put Mail into its own little folder so that I never have to look at it again

WHAAAAAAAAAAT

nm, found it

I don't know if anyone else has been suffering from cripplingly slow apple mail performance but this appears to fix it

Bullshit, I downloaded the Google Maps app for iPad last night and iPhone this morning. I think dude just isn't scrolling past the first page of search results. xp

yeeah, I mean I think I grabbed the iPhone version on my iPad last night. Or maybe I hallucinated that part, not sure.

I searched for Google Maps from my iPhone last night around 12:30 and couldn't find it; this morning it was the third or fourth result

Tried Google Maps - I'm sure the maps themselves are better, but the performance is not as good as the native app, feels a lot choppier. Also, it's way too sensitive with the rotation gesture

works sweet as hell on an iPhone 4s, looks like they're doing some weird not-quite-vector graphics thing still

Have been hearing scattered reports of choppiness, which it definitely isn't on my phones. I wonder if networking's involved. Will go try on shitty 3g and see

on iPhone 5 w/ verizon lte it's super fast

iTunes 11.0.1 is out too. Fixes most of the glaring bugs so far (unless you consider iTunes itself to be one large bug)

Now that I could consider upgrading, is there a consensus as to whether iOS6 slows down iPhones 4?

I upgraded yesterday and my iPhone 4 seems just peachy. No slower than before, as far as I can tell.

Same here on my 4S -- maybe it's my imagination, but a couple things seem to be running a little faster.

Just upgraded and it's stuck a Passbook app on my first screen, can't remember what was in its spot before :/

Yeah, that was weird. I had to shuffle that screen around again and have no idea if I restored it to its previous state.

On my 4S it didn't seem slower

i think the missing app that passbook replaced on the homescreen is youtube

mr veg got me an iphone 5 for xmas. zoom! weeeeeeeee

it's a lot faster, right? are you on the LTE network?

yep! I only just got the phone activated this morning but yeah, noticeably faster.

mega fast

Just ordered a new work machine, a maxed-out 27" iMac.

I bought a new i7 mac mini as my present to myself. It's so much quicker than my 2008 era iMac.

iphone 5 I love you but I just paid $20 for an extra cable

I love the feel of the oleaphobic screen

oilless

repel my lipids baby

nonpolar bonds oh yeah

Hartmut Esslinger's Apple designs from the early 80s

I am still not a fan of that era

Two-button keyboard is form over function, tbh.

using both iphone 5 and 4 currently (work/personal), not noticing a huge diff. 4G faster obv but not orders of magnitude, web browsing still pokey at times, esp compared to the windows 8 phone I was testing. FB/Instagram still frustrating as well tho I realize that's app-related.

as a result I don't find myself reaching for one over the other except when it comes to the camera, iP5 is a big leap forward. plus bigger screen is nice when watching vids.
