ok so OS6 wrap up..

various enhancements to apps, safari, etc
interoperability with OS X better
enhanced siri to integrate with 3rd party apps far better
new maps replaces google... really the same experience google provides on android

And people are still excited about this?

Honestly, a lot of the stuff is cool and necessary, it's just not the sort of thing you get really excited about.

The additions to the phone (call you later messages, reminders) are really neat but not something I jump up and down about. Same goes for Facebook integration and Do Not Disturb. Passbook was probably the most unique thing they showed for iOS 6. The "best" features are the added features in Siri. It's quickly becoming the closest thing we've seen to a Star Trek talking computer yet and the new features really round out the service. New Maps is just more of the same, only more so with 47% more bells and whistles.

All in all, they're really good updates with badly-needed features. They're just not the sort of thing that makes you squeal like an excited little girl.
