Chris Armstrong, writing for The Industry:
I recently bought an iPhone 5, so now I have a 4S which isn’t receiving much use. I decided to give it newfound purpose by comparing certain parts of iOS 5 with their counterparts in iOS 6. There have been a great amount of UI changes, some very subtle, in this update.
Armstrong compares the small changes between iOS 5 and 6 and makes a compelling argument for the new status bar behavior - an argument I am inclined to agree with.
