Lock screen glitch, shows the default green battery. I tried to change it, but it won't.

Too bad Apple has not addressed the thousands of iphone users that have their WiFi permanently knocked out after updates. I had to replace mine-- with another brand.

Same problem with the Lock Screen and Home Screen for me. I did a Hard Reboot (Hold Home and Sleep Buttons until Apple Logo appears) and it works fine now.

And a couple of other sites are reporting that it does patch the flaw in the passcode exploit.

Well, that lasted for one Sleep cycle! Back to Battery icon on Lock Screen and standard Water Droplet on Home Screens. Hmmmm....

Problems......Restore Factory Settings and Restore from iCloud. Not hard. Shouldn't have to do it, but usually the fix. We have a mix of Android and iPhones and have alot more problems with Android phones here.

No probs - other than the very long download time (two hours!)…

iOS 6, the iPhone 5 and iTunes have been a nightmare for me. I'm on my third iPhone 5. Although not as severe, I am still having wifi issues on five of my iOS devices. I usually receive a moderate signal strength, but I still receive weak or no signal. Any Starbucks that I visit, I must sit inside to connect to wifi. I have no connection while in the outdoor seating area of any Starbucks that I've visited.
My bluetooth issues were addressed in this latest update. Beats support did contact me confirming this.I can now enjoy my Beats Pill bluetooth speakers. So, I am happy about that.
I can't view my previous purchases via any of my iOS devices; it simply times out. iTunes acknowledges that I own apps (install) inconsistently. This has resulted in a few duplicate purchases. (I have received refunds for most.) My three 64 GB iPads are maxed out.
Restoring from iCloud times out or fails, which prompts me to connect to iTunes on my Mac. iTunes on my Macs are a whole other saga. My apps won't update they all stop at "processing". They problem started when iOS 6 was released. I can't view my previous purchased of hidden apps in iTunes on my Macs. I refuse to use iTunes on any of my Macs; it needs to be taken out back and put downl I canceled iTunes Match, because I never really got to use it. There was always an issue. Amazon is my sole media provider now. (Overall much cheaper and more reliable.) If I weren't so invested in iOS apps and media, I'd transition to something else. Perhaps, if I slowly transition over to something else, the loss of my investment will seem less.
Bedtime.

Do you believe the size of the update is 882MB on my iPod touch 5G! Furthermore, I do think Apple don't have to launch an update anytime they have fixed a problem. I don't think it'll be a good idea to ask users to update their devices every week.
