Can any beta-testers out there tell me if this unification is optional? My whole family shares a single apple ID, so it will become very awkward if iMessages or Facetime calls start popping up globally on my iPhone 4, my wife's iPhone 4, my son's iPhone 3GS, and our various touches.
I'm guessing the phones won't be affected since they each obviously have a unique phone number, but how about the touches?
I've not got iOS 6 but I doubt it will be an option as sharing Apple IDs is against Apple T&Cs

Actually, I think Apple is OK with sharing an iTunes Apple ID across multiple family members, particularly since I've just read about a dozen articles posted on official sites such as MacWorld and the like in which the author discusses how you can share one iTunes Apple ID with your family for sharing music, ibook and app purchases, but how you would want to set up uniqur Apple IDs for iCloud, Facetime, iMessage, etc.
While those articles don't specifically answer my question, they do appear to solve my problem; when iOS6 comes out, I will simply have my family members each create their own unique Apple ID for use on their devices for Facetime, iMessages, iCloud, etc., and we can continue to share my iTunes Apple ID for purchases.
