As an iOS developer I was really looking forward to iOS 6. Both iOS 4 & 5 seemed like house-cleaning updates that improved the plumbing and developer experience to set the stage for more daring and forward thinking changes in 6.

It was actually when I first saw the new feature list for 6 that I began to worry that Apple had lost its momentum and the lackluster iPhone 5 only reinforces that feeling.
