Apple Will Pay $250 Million for Overhyping Siri. Canadian Users Get to Watch
Apple has agreed to a $250 million US settlement to resolve a class action lawsuit involving delayed Siri features originally promised for the iPhone 16. The legal challenge accused the company of false advertising and unfair competition, claiming that Apple promoted a smarter version of Siri that was not actually available when the new...
Still a no go in Edmonton
im downloading now the ios 6
Nothing for me yet (Toronto).
Aha, there we go! 🙂
JUST went live for iPad 3 in Toronto.
EDIT: iTunes is failing to download it.
Downloading now! This will have to keep me happy until my iPhone 5 arrives (over 6500 people ahead of me in Rogers queue).
HA! I’m number 39915 as of today, I’ll tell you how it feels like in my hands when I get it 😉
Oh wait…
Just in time for iphone 6.
Yikes! Glad I snagged #33 🙂
iphone4s and it is showing as 912.8mb
I tried upgrading to iOS5 late in the day of its release date, and it took 90 minutes and was a near disaster. I upgraded my family’s iOS devices the day after, and had 3 of them done in no time. I think I’ll wait until tomorrow.
downloding through itunes…..less risk….
my iphone 4s crashed last time with ios 5
Can’t update OTA since I’m on the latest beta before GM. Doesn’t help that I’m on holidays in Europe right now either.
Did my update through iTunes and it is now complete in Edmonton!
iTunes picks it up, but not OTA. Rogers in Montreal.
OTA just got it now.
Hah, go figure I’m having the contrary problem!
how to upgrade from ios 6 beta to this full version ios 6???everybody updating but i am stuck here
Full update dude, from scratch. Make a backup first.
im about 9 minutes remaining here in montreal ahahahaha
8-hours left to download for me. BLAH!
Sorry my mistake, it’s now 17 hours. I’ll have my iphone 5 before it’s done.
Status : preparing to update haha
apple logo with progressive bar on !!!!!!! yeah
iPad 3 and iPhone 3GS both updated without issues (3GS pretty slow, though!) in Vancouver
I’d like to, but I’m on a bus tour of Central Europe right now and there aren’t any Apple Stores close by, plus I have all my music synced to my iPhone for this trip. Oh well, the beta expires September 30th at 8pm….I’ll have just gotten home from the airport by then!
All my apple gadget been updated to ios6 with no issues. Start around 11:07am- done around 12:15pm (edmonton time)
Is it necessary to install last version of iOS 5 (5.1.1) before updating to iOS 6?
no
Yea, weird, shows the iOS 5.1.1 update for me in iTunes :S
Hmm, maybe it is required?
Seems like it shouldn’t be. I’m pretty sure I’ve skipped versions in the past. I’m betting it’s just not available to me yet (why though? :S) so I’ll wait (impatiently) and see if it pops up!
Uh jeez. Sorry for the multiple messages. Here’s something weird: Just checked on my iPhone under settings and iOS6 pops up, but in iTunes, still showing iOS 5.1.1. I definitely don’t want to update OTA when I can update it (at faster speeds) through iTunes! Just sayin’!
I clicked “Update” out of curiosity, and saw this (used Skitch to make this, thanks to your recommendation!)
I’m pretty sure you can skip. Just make sure you do a backup and then update (and yes, Skitch ROCKS).
Yup confirmed, it worked, and I’m enjoying iOS6 as we speak, er… write 😛
Installed io6 on my iphone4s. Panorama photos and full Siri support is cool. I can now ask Siri in Chinese where a nearby restaurant is. Be aware ios6 forcefully removes the original youtube and google maps app. Apple maps is good that it speaks out directions like a GPS, but transit and walking directions are not supported.
Downloaded and installed iOS 6 OTA on my iPhone 4S at 11am in Vancouver using my office’s Telus wifi connection. Approximate time from download to install to restart: 1 hour. I haven’t backed up my phone in two months and it seemed to have saved everything. So far, so good.
Tested Siri to see if it has been localized to Canada. I searched for the nearest typical Vancouver locations, such as, vegetarian restaurants, yoga studios and pubs, all with success. It even provided directions on the new Apple Maps App, which in itself is much better and faster than Google’s. It even provided me phone numbers to local businesses, movie showtimes and the latest Whitecaps score (who lost to Dallas Last weekend).
😀
Yep. The Canadian Siri update is awesome.
3d map is almost useless. extremely missing Google map streetview, almost immposible to live without it and youtube app for ipad which is most used for my 3 year old daughter. Not sure how long will need to wait for google’s own app.
Google does have a youtube ios app
Its just for iphone only not ipad yet
Installed it, checked out the new maps. The app itself is much better – quick, clean, easy to use. The maps are a disaster. I’m in Dawson Creek, in northeastern B.C. The relatively new roads in town – about 4 years old – are not on the map. The entire town of Rolla – 100 years old, population of 1,000 – is not included by name. Lots of road names replaced by route numbers that no one uses. The town of Tumbler Ridge, BC – a major coal-mining town – is identified as having no roads going to it – because it’s located on the map 80 kilometres from the ACTUAL town of Tumbler Ridge. Dense cloud cover over half of Dawson Creek in satellite view, and less crisp satellite overall. You can say that it’s only because we’re more rural, but that’s partly the point: Google Maps was incredibly thorough, even in rural areas. At this point the new maps app is almost worthless to me; I’m going to have to use the Google Maps web app, despite its slowness.
Give Apple Maps some time to catch up to the standards that Google has set. I’m sure it’ll be just as good.
On a related note, I’m glad they did away with StreetView. I found it too creepy that people can see what the front of my house looked like. I like my privacy, thankyouverymuch.
Is passbook not available to Canadians? I keep opening the app then hitting the button to go to the App Store but I get the message cannot connect to iTunes Store but when I hit featured everything loads.
Their is a bug. I went to date and time settings – switched off the auto option – changed the date a few years later – went back to update section of appstore and received the following error message “cannot establish a secure connection – check date and time settings – went back to date and time settings and checked the auto option back to on – checked again the appstore updates and problem was solved.
How’s it running for people with a 3GS? I’m afraid to make my phone even slower than it is.
Full iOS6 update in 35mins(DL+Install), using the WiFi @ A&W in Port Kells. Looks great, no problems. Oh and the Teen Burger combo I had while waiting was pretty delicious.
Teen burger combo FTW! Did you have a root beer? Love how they don’t use ice at A&W for drinks.
They serve something other than Root Beer? Root Beer + Frosted Mug = Pure liquid bliss.
Correction: Root beer float + frosted mug = teh winz.
Installed iOS 6 over the air on my new iPad (iPad 3) and now the Wifi signal keeps dropping off. What’s going on????
This is BAD! Anyone is experiencing this? Any solution??
Did Network reset, still disconnect wifi signal after sign on for 5 secs or so 🙁
This is probably too late for most ppl but do not download ios6. I no longer have wifi connectivity on my iPhone 4S.
I didn’t experience this problem, WiFi still works as it should. Maybe just a problem with the install? Try re-installing iOS6. I would restore from a pre iOS6 back up tho.
The satellite imagery for my town is all in black and white! what the hell?
Not 100% certain but it seems like iOS6 has mucked up my iPad 3’s LTE/3G connection. I didn’t try it last night after applying the update. Today – despite the Rogers LTE and 3G appearing with adequate signal strength in the top bar – I cannot actually connect to the internet via either connection type. Not having any network issue with the iPhone in the same service area.
