On my 6 GB plan I went over once, but I was downloading all my podcasts over 3G, streaming two hours of audio every day and really going out of my way to use a lot of data.

Oh yeah, forgot about podcasts, they could push you over too.

Doh! :). I often wonder why people pay so much for for mobile devices with huge amounts of over priced memory storage when their actual use case they never really need all that with them all the time. I find i so odd.

Google Maps returns to the iPhone platform with voice guided turn-by-turn navigation, updated search abilities, and an entirely updated UI.

So Apple, what's your excuse with not providing 3GS and 4 owners with voice guided turn-by-turn navigation again?

It's $$$$$$$$$$ of course! :)

I'll have to play with that (but not on the iPhone 5 that I don't have).

It's nice that the forum is still 'up there' as a news source :)

Heads up about iOS update 6.1.2.  I just got back from the Apple store replacing my wife's iPhone 5. Apparently somewhere between 15-25% of users are experiencing partial or complete external speaker failure after updating to this firmware which released almost two weeks ago. Sometimes it can be fixed by a complete restore but sometimes not, such as in my case.  There's an emergency update rolling out across the US over the next week to 6.1.3 that's supposed to fix it so if you haven't updated I'd say do yourself a favor and wait.

How's the battery life for all you iPhone 5 users?  This little gadget seems like a neat way to extend battery life greatly.

16 to 18 hours of actual use?  Or just sitting in your pocket?
