I took the plunge yesterday.
iTunes update - half an hour
Backup iPhone - half an hour
download iOS6 - an hour and a half
update phone - 45 minutes
Got stuck in a loop with iTunes something about not recognizing the phone - turned out to be an open dialog box hidden under window. Finally - I just pulled the cable and the phone came up - everything worked.
One kudo is that this time - my folders weren't mangled by the iOS. All apps stayed in their folder. I got a new app called passbook that displaced a home screen folder unnecessarily. Fortunately, I can tuck it into a folder and restore the screen the way I want it, unlike that stupid Newstand I got last time that won't allow itself to be put in a folder.
All in all, a pretty seamless process. A couple of hiccups, but nothing like the ponderous 3-4 and 4-5 updates.
Unfortunately, I was not given the option to retain the old version of maps, even though I did a backup. New maps appeared and overlays several other apps with the new maps information. Fortunately, new maps doesn't mangle my area too much - its satellite data is nowhere near as up to date as Google in my area - as the construction of a major freeway (Grand Parkway high 99), a cross street, Tuckerton bear witness. And my home does not show the addition of a pool over two years ago. Probably - the luck of the draw when it comes to the selection and updating of satellite data. Still, when new streets and eventually freeways become available, it would be nice if the maps application were aware of the new routes, instead of utilizing the same ones that are now congested enough to spur the development.
