I fail to see the difference (After 7 versions)

Only a few weeks after v6, so i guess this is just alpha.

You posted that on 9to5. Stop this self promotion, kid.

I fail to see the similarity between the two users, so I don't know where you're drawing this assumption from.

Either way, how does it prove that there's simultaneous downloads, one bar is empty, which could be waiting until the other download has finished, there's no solid proof in that screenshot of anything yet.

I'm sorry for not making it clear. You know when some user's posts seem to stick? Like Dot Matrix's love for Windows 8, or Calum and his semantics (no offense, Calum), Borman and her, well, Borman. Look at this thread (good thing I found it quick on search). You'll notice that she owns an iPad 2, an LG phone, a Mac user, her 'country', and a mention of Flow Free as well. Then, she once posted a thread about 'her friend's' mockup of WP8 which is actually just a ripoff of a TheVerge forum post.

My bet is that she's the same person based solely on familiarity. Your call.

Here's that 'user's' posts on 9to5

Either way, whether it was them or not, the screenshot, be it theirs, doesn't really show anything, so there's no point continuing the discussion further in this manner. Best to let everyone else decide whether it is true or not (which seems unlikely).

Also cross posting between forums might be useful, in one place where discussion may not occur, it will in another. I've done this before after a forum with little activity hasn't answered a question I've had, so I've posted that same Q elsewhere to see if it gets resolved.

Huh, I can do all that in iOS 6 on my ipad. simultanius downloads, at least I get multiple downloads bars like the screenshot shows.

crap. this kid is bozo

1) The News folder is in the final "Installing" phase and the next app in the list will start downloading during this phase. This has been standard behavior since at least iOS 4.

2) Since there are multiple apps in the Extra folder and we can't see their icons, we have no way of knowing if it's downloading an update for a single app or multiple apps. My current iPad with iOS 6 could just as easily take a screenshot looking like this since the bar will often pause halfway once 1 app in that folder has finished and another app in another folder or another location starts downloading while there's still another app in the original folder waiting to be updated.

Or maybe it's just iOS 6.
