    The update to 6.0.1 solved the issue for me.  iPhone 4s, and I can now tell Siri to remind me when I get home and low and behold, it reminds me when I pull in the driveway.  All good here now!

    The problem was concerning iPads and was not solved by 6.0.1 update.

    This functionality appears to be enabled on iPad4 with cellular.

    NOOOO....don't tell me that! Have you tested on a cellular model? I have been yesterday on a store but they said that iPad 4 + cellular will be released on the end on November...I was supposing too that that feature will be added on iPad 4 and not on ours 3rd gen

    Yes, I preordered an iPad 4 + Cellular and it arrived Thursday. The stores started selling them Friday.

     

    Apparently this functionality also works in iPad Mini + Cellular.

    Son of a b____ I supposed they would include that feature in new 4th generation and leave the third behind their back! End of support of a top product after 6 months, one of the worst treatment. No words Apple.

    I agree, this is bad treatment from Apple towards people who just bought their iPad a few months ago.

    This would have never happened on Steve's watch.

    Agreed, this is quite shocking.  Apple has been very good about applying updates to previous generation products going back several generations.  To have this product left out of the plan when iOS 6 hit and it was the current generation flagship, and then to enable the feature in a new product while leaving the 6 month old product out in the cold is quite unlike Apple.  I have to think this will be enabled with a software patch soon.

    We hoped for a fix when iOS 6.0.1 was released, but nothing happened!

    According to the web page your reference, it says

     

    Location-based Reminders:

    • To set a location, you can use a saved contact location or just manually enter it at the time you create the reminder.
    • Use a specific street address whenever possible.
    • The location service icon will remain in the status bar until you mark the reminder as complete.
    • Available only on iPhone 4 and later.

     

    Looks to be an iPhone specific thing, although location based reminders can be set up on my MBP

    as stated before that web page was quickly updated AFTER ours calls to apple support, and all our cases was forwarded to  second and even third level (engineeers)

    @oracomm,

     

    Sorry for that. I had not gone through all 4 pages of complaints so had not seen the report that the web site had changed.

     

    PS, I have provided hard documented evidence showing bugs in their software. They never admit that they have a bug and just recommend that I just submit a suggestion to Apple.

    Actually from what I've experienced so far having become a first time apple customer with purchase of iPad 3 in June (not counting of course my second-generation iPod which I still use)-- this is not unlike apple at all, but rather what I've come to expect.

    So when did apple decide to copy bill gates and the Microsoft attitude.
