"Love that Google has figured out how to map oceans, while Apple is still trying figure how to get you to the corner deli."

Here's the thing.. for years people have been screaming how Apple is amazing and how they are not bothered by the fact that it's locked down shit proprietary system for milking money from consumers "The Apple way".
When asked, what if one day Apple starts releasing crap and you are stuck in that eco-system, do you think it's wise to support such a lock down practices and lack of consumer choice. Many said, "That's impossible, Apple is awesome".
It's very satisfying seeing Apple turning into Microsoft, releasing half baked products and all the fanboys now saying how maps don't matter and finding excuses for the terrible experience.
I wonder, how bad does Apple have to become, for some people to finally say something bad about them.

With the iphone 4 they fucked up the entire phones reception then said oh you guys are holding it wrong, and gave out free bumpers to improve the reception. You still bought from them, now they fuck up a mapping system and you still buy from them. They released final cut prox and people raved about it... no wait it got more one star reviews than any other score.
Apple are quite remarkable in that they can release absolute dog shit and people will eat it with a smile.
- the iPhone 4 antenna thing was the so overblown. I used mine daily, sans case or bumper, with *zero* effect.Nathan_Adams
- Enjoy your expensive meal :Echossy
- Sounds like someone never used an iPhone. Maybe mommy will get you one this year.monospaced
- I have a 3GS monospaced, please try to keep up, ye dizzy bitch.chossy
- iPhone 4 thing is not overblown. I've had THREE iPhone 4 phones and all of them lost all signal when a finger coveredCanHasQBN
- finger covered one of the little black seams.CanHasQBN
- Maybe I'm a robot and my metal bones are interfering with the antenna...CanHasQBN

^ True in some instances. However my iphone 4S has worked flawlessly since the day I got it.
- Basic rule: Never buy first gen apple products, never upgrade to first version of new apple os.set

This is what the iPhone 5 should've been. I mocked up everything from scratch in Illustrator (except the outer space pic).
Matte aluminum backing, glossy black logo, speakers and power button on top, headphone jack, mic, and charger on bottom, larger ear speaker, centered cameras, volume buttons like the iPhone 3, visually aligns with the iPad.
- long phone is long :Dchossy
- Well the screen is a 16:9 ratio. I think thats the widescreen ratio Apple is touting. Makes sense for movies.CanHasQBN
- I like a lotfadein11
- why the bulge?inteliboy
- yes, glossy black logo, very important.i_was

- It's tapered. the thickest point would be equal thickness to the depth of the current iPhone.CanHasQBN
- Wouldn't it be nice to hold a different form than the one we've been holding since the first iPhone 4??CanHasQBN
- Pick up your Magic Mouse and put it up to your ear. The curve follows the natural curve of your index finger as it lies across the back.CanHasQBN
- back.CanHasQBN
- i_was: everything is important. even how you treat a logo on a piece of industrial design.CanHasQBN
- Your attitude would fit in perfectly at Apple right now. "Meh... this and that are not important".CanHasQBN
- dude, like I said - go work for them. I'd be excited about this phone.SunSunSun

I see what you are doing canhasQBN but I think it would be good to have a little more of a difference, although I bloody like it!!!
That's the thing set I only have a problem with apples errors because I see them as arrogant and cynical. I do think the iphone is a great product, just not perfect. The 4 and ios 6 in my opinion are a piss take. To be fair though if google dragged their heels with updates to the map app. then apple had no choice but I fucking doubt it, apple probably demanded some sort of compensation for allowing google to be their mapping app. of choice.
Either way monospaced is full retard.

- Yea, It wouldn't completely surprise me if it was google that pulled outset

I read that bullshit yesterday — Apple have gone the DIY map route so they can take their 30% of revenue in future, not Google.
- Apple are very good at marketing themselves into the victim role though.detritus
- Google did make an inferior product for Apple too, don't forget that. Probably pissed 'em off a little.monospaced
- ? Google Maps is amazing.instrmntl

Tim Cook apologises for ios6 Maps:

- Interesting that it links competitors map offerings. At least Apple accept they're massively inferior, good movepig

Nice to see them give Waze a shout out since it beats the hell out of every map app up there including their own.
- you love a bit of waze don't you. I found it to be shitesticksset
- Yeah its awesome. Only one ive used thats actually reliable real time with traffic.CygnusZero4

so weird that he apologized - apple hasn't really apologized for much right? i mean the iphone 4 antenna thing, jobs just said "hold it differently." weird they're admitting fault.
- not weird that they're admitting fault, it's pretty much impossible for them to make excusesmonospaced

"IOS users with the new maps have already searched for nearly half a billion locations"
I bet they are still searching for them :D
