Ridiculously lightweight. Pretty much disappears in your pocket.
Very fast. I was on a 4 so according to marketing, this is 4x faster. I don't think I'd call them liars.
The new connector is nice, but fuck that noise in general. I now have 435345 useless cords unless I buy $30 adapters for them. Those adapters aren't even for sale yet. Nor are extra cords. So I have to f'ing tote my new cord between home and work. And I have to pay $30 to continue using my $100 clock radio that is a few years old. Shit situation is shitty.
Apple maps suck, but maps.google.com still works.
But the phone? It's pretty nice. I'm happy.
What don't you like about the maps? I've heard mixed reviews, people either hate it or love it. Since I updated to iOS6 it seems to find me and render the map a hell of a lot faster, but a co-worker was saying his couldn't even get in the ballpark when he was trying to drive to work today. I think I'm going to try out the turn by turn myself this afternoon.
The connector nonsense is silly, I don't have many gadgets so when I eventually upgrade it won't be as big of a deal, I'd be pissed if I had as much stuff as you though.
I'm excited about the new phone, but I watched the keynote and none of the features made my 4S feel particularly archaic. I'm pretty happy to use it for another 6-12 months until I upgrade it. A lot of the reviews I've been reading complain that its "only" an evolution on the 4S, not a "revolutionary spin" on it. But why would you completely revolutionize something as good as the 4S? Just fine tune that ish.
