I think Apple gets the short end of the stick in these deals. The company that provides that mapping data usually has ridiculous restrictions on what you can/can't do to the data (even possibly disallowing your own patches), and Apple takes all the heat from users.
- mankyd 12y agoI mean, don't you think that Apple deserves to take at least a little of the blame for this? If they can't negotiate a better deal with their data sources, find a better data source, or find a way to feed corrections back to their data source, that's on them.
- notatoad 12y agoApple has their name on the product, it's their responsibility to ensure it is up to par. It doesn't really matter who the fault lies with, if the data coming in isn't good enough then apple should be looking for different data sources.
- jonknee 12y agoWhy wouldn't Apple take all the heat from users? Steve Jobs removed a very good map from everyone's iPhone and replaced it with a buggy Apple branded map. I don't care if it's the fault of some vendor, at the root of it Apple is to blame for shipping it.
