Yes, I tend to agree. Both Mountain Lion and OS 6 are pretty buggy and overall less useful than their predecessors.

Other than maps what are the bugs you have noted in OS 6? How is it less useful?

TabBarController is now highly buggy. I had to put multiple workarounds into our app to get around them (figured out mostly myself and from forums).

There's no info on Apple's dev site about how to actually support iphone 5's new resolution. You have to figure it out from the forums.

It's less useful because they have removed google maps, youtube, podcasts from itunes (you now have to download a separate app), etc.

I've had very good results with iOS 6 so far (and I've been running it for far longer than 2 days). Even the maps app isn't "buggy", just missing a lot of data. However, since map data is on the back end it can be updated without having to update iOS. Since the early betas I've seen several large changes to map areas around me.

I hate to be critical but anyone who ever says "X is buggy"[1] without at least some examples loses credibility to me. It's a meaningless complaint.

[1] = except for /actual/ X. Someone who says "X is buggy" in the context of X11 is usually right. :-)

Stupid, baseless article, with a sensationalized headline to match.

There is nothing note worthy about the iphone5. I tend to agree, it's a subpar product. If you compare it to 4s then it a little better, but if you compare it with any new android phone then it's mundane.
