Should I update the software on my iPhone to ios6? I'm currently using iOS 5.1.1?

Have they worked out the bugs yet? Last I heard the update was having problems like running the battery dead really fast & maps was really inaccurate.

Yes, it will run smoother. I upgrades recently, runs beter and it looks a little better and there are new settings such as privacy with location etc and apps. Apps will now be based on ios 6 so if you don't update now you will have to eventually. Hope I helped.

Millions of people are using it without any problems. Maps tells me exactly where I'm and how to get to where I'm going. Which is about what I would expect of a map.

Increasingly apps are appearing that require iOS 6 so at some point you will probably need to update or be left behind.

Yes. You should update. I have an iPhone 3GS and its running 6.1.It runs smoothly. Haven't come across any freezing. The 3GS is the earliest iPhone that can run the latest release of iOS and can handle it just fine. I can't tell a difference in battery life. The maps app is alright. Google is in the process of making a new maps app so I will be definitely using that when it comes out. If you rely a lot on the maps app then I would wait till google makes its own app then update.
