The 8 Worst Things About iOS 6

There's a lot to love about Apple's new mobile operating system, but with any new shiny piece of technology or the software that comes with it, kinks will exist.

Apple's new Maps app, which replaced the existing Google Maps app, a mainstay of iOS for five years, has been widely criticized since the upgrade was made available earlier this week. In addition to the app omitting transit directions, users discovered that mapping imagery included a confusing cluster of broken roads, misplaced clouds and national monuments all out of whack.

There are a few other things that have had us scratching our heads this week, from inconsistent fonts and colors, more -- and slightly obtrusive -- calendar alerts and a redesigned App Store that is more difficult to navigate. The good news, however, is that with the exception of the new Maps app, all of the quirks are relatively small. Check out the gallery above for our picks for the top 10 things bugging us most about iOS 6.
