Worth the Update?

Updated to iOS 6 in the early hours of today. And as expected, some of the old apps may not work. In fact, the main app unused for blogging and putting my thoughts together - Day One - crashes completely. There was an update later in the afternoon, but that too crashed. No joy!

But I was sure a path will come along soon for all the apps.

My iPhone 4S did feel significantly faster. Everything seems to zip along very quickly. The Facebook integration was particularly handy. My RSS program worked OK, as well as my SquareSpace app. The apps which tended to crash were the ones relying on iCloud integration.

The camera app worked fine. I have yet to try the panorama feature, but the samples I've seen on the Internet looked impressive.

To be honest, I have always been an early adopter when it comes to updates and software on my iDevices. Yes, it has it problems, but eventually things sort themselves out. Apart from the fact that I was not able to update my iMac to Lion since the P1 software - the main Internet source for my study in Gombak - is not compatible with the new OS. P1 never thought that their Mac user were significant enough to make the investment. Shane on them.

I spent the rest of the afternoon waiting for update downloads for the apps. But on the whole, the extra speed alone was worth the update.
