[GSDG] Apple admits defeat for inferior service,Tim Cook apologizes for Maps disaster

[Data-Hawk]

I was wondering how long it would take before the popped up on here.

Google has 7,000 ppl dedicated to maps.
Apple has 13,000 ppl total not including Retail.

Maps is probably top 3 in terms of complex software, its going to take apple sometime to compete with google when it comes to maps

I think greenligting this in the first place was idiotic but i commend them for apologising.

They had no choice. The deal with google was up next year n they didnt want to depend on them.

NOBODY in the next 3-4 years will top Google Maps... .and by then it'll be even further ahead

Apple is just arrogant

was thinking of copping an iphone 5 for my next phone but i'll most likely stick with an android. apple just looks like a mess right now.

Not disagreeing. I mean the whole company is built around searching. But expect apple to start buying up more companies and start hiring more ppl for this.

This might be one of those, we'll suffer now but make it less painful going forward.

I seriously think they should let Jonathan Ive be CEO.

I agree...This fakkit Cook making us look soft. Jobs would not have allowed this to happen.


Why did you have to take him from us GOD....why???

Idk what jobs would of done but iPhone 5 and iOS 6 suck . This is the first time in actually tempted to not stay with apple . I always laughed about the apple strategy of trying to make basic features seem innovative but those headphone commercials are so obnoxious . That's something to push ??? Headphone still to fit your ear something headphone brands been doing
