90% of consumers say Maps issue ‘irrelevant’ as iPhone 5 selling at record pace | VentureBeat

Ninety percent of iPhone 5 buyers have not experienced “any problem at all” with Apple’s new Maps app. Only 3 percent say it’s a “big problem,” and 6 percent say it’s “somewhat” of a problem.

I guess those 3 percent are Silicon Valley tech blog writers.

And 90% buy it as a symbol of status and not as a smartphone.

But the iPhone 5 is already generating more web traffic than the S3. Seems like more ppl are using the i5 as a "Smartphone" than the S3.

gotta hand apple its dues. They have people paying much more for much less and then defending the point. That's called being ass raped and beaten then standing up for your man.

Go on girl, tell us why you love him...

I haven't really had any issues with maps. Like everything on both sides of these silly cell phone wars, I think the maps apps "problem" was highly exaggerated. Y'all take this shyt too serious, but ya'll don't hear me tho.

So all the late 20something year old female bandwagon Heat fans checking their Facebook is your chunk demographic on iOS users using the phone as a "smartphone?

this logic makes no sense...first there are more iphone 5s sold then s3s, second of all going on twitter or facebook 90% of time on your phone hardly makes it NOT a status symbol


with that said, most smartphones ARE being bought as status symbols anyway, its not just apple or anything

Even though I'm on the Goog side of things; to be fair, it wouldn't surprise me if a lot of iOS users either have a stand alone GPS unit in their cars, or use another maps app anyway.

When I was on iOS, I used the MapQuest app more than I used the iOS Google Maps - so I can see Maps not necessarily being an issue.
