to be honest the problems with the maps app really weren't -that- bad
It's astonishing that people keep saying this even after the CEO has taken the almost unprecedented step of issuing a formal apology. Maybe the new maps were ok for you, but they're clearly a disaster for a lot of users and well below Apple's usual standard. Apple fans are doing them a disservice by refusing to admit and address their weaknesses.
- zalzane 14y agoLooks like I omitted a word in my original post, I meant to say that the fallout from maps wasn't that bad. People can still replace their maps app with google or bing or whoever's map application. The problems with the iOS maps aren't a showstopper for the entire platform like the antenna issues were. There were a lot more people angry over the antenna issues than over the maps issues, so I don't really see how the apology was warranted.
- cageface 14y agoPresumably nobody knows more about this problem than Tim Cook at this point and he saw fit to issue an apology I'm sure he very much would have preferred not to give. You don't imagine that your own anecdotal experience gives you special insight here, do you?
