It's coming to something when you list those as new features

I've still got a full sized sim card, I feel like I'm stuck in the 80s.

The biggest downer with iPhones is battery life, this still hasn't been addressed.

That is a problem with pretty much every device. That is the most important new technology advance for me. If someone could come up with a phone as good as the S3, iphone, Lumias and it had three or four day battery life, I'd be sold. Most phones will last less than a day even when not used and will not last more than a couple of hours when doing things like navigation, browsing, streaming and playing music.

Erm, Apple used SCSI for peripherals, until dropping it for USB.

Oh yeah, I'd forgotten that SCSI used to be used like that. Although Apple dropped SCSI for FireWire.
As FireWire came out in, what, 1995? I'd guess there was a reasonable period when both were available?

Downloaded iOS 6 and Apple are so deserving of the stick they are getting for the 'Maps' app, it's not very good at all, hopefully it will be updated quickly. I used street view quite often in Google Maps and its not in maps, it also doesn't find places very accurately, definite fail from Apple on this one. Other than that its an OK update, not that much change from iOS 5.

Also, You Tube app is also gone - don't upgrade to iOS6 is my advice.
