That, or just go back to using a BB. This isn't the first time there has been a botched iOS release. There was one in the pre-3G days when the things were only sold in the US and a few European countries that bricked god knows how many phones that were a scourge to deal with on the support end. People just never hear about any of it or quickly forget about it because Apple runs a very efficient propaganda machine.
All things considered, if Maps is the only thing that sucks they could have done a lot worse. | |

London, ON | In that case, Apple most likely didn't try the upgrade on a jailbroken and unlocked iPhone. It's arguable whether they should be testing that. They probably do these days in order to save face, since people will still blame them even if a bricking error is due to the phone being jailbroken. | |

The biggest issue we ran into were IMEI numbers that were being erased with that updated, and we had customers swear up and down that they didn't modify their phone even though the talking point we had to stick to was that the phone has been modified, warranty is now void and you're only option is to buy a brand new iPhone as we wouldn't even do a discounted $250 repair. It was a messy situation, and the guys in Cupertino really threw all of us in Niagara Falls, Sacramento and Austin under the bus over it. | |

You buy an Apple product, you don't make the decisions Apple does.
I personally love the IDEA of my Nexus 7 better than my Ipad, but guess what that Nexus 7 has some nasty bugs and google wallet, chrome, videos don't work, and a bunch of other yet to be names things is killing off my battery. So I put my Nexus to the side, and use my Ipad. If I look at my mothball of hardware, it's all failed Android technology. Even my original ipad gets daily usage from the kids.

Boston, MA | Main Issue The main issue here is that Apple, under Jobs, never let unfinished stuff out the door.
Yes, they may have released some iOS versions that omitted functionality in the beginning (e.g., cut and paste), but when they did something, they made sure it was 100% complete, polished, and simple easy to use.
This iOS 5 Google Maps to iOS6 Apple Maps is arguably the first time an Apple product has actually moved backwards.
Steve Jobs would not be happy.

kudos:19 | Ship it!!! It seems to me that Apple simply shipped this crap w/out doing actual testing in each demographic/region. For some regions -- like Japan -- maps (transit, tram, et.c) are incredibly important, much moreso than here in the US. To give folks some idea how absolutely broken this is for the Japanese:
»www.japanmobiletech.com/2012/09/···pan.html
If you don't have any familiarity with Japanese culture and Japanese lifestyle/environment/demographics then the above article will read to you as nothing more than "map accuracy problems". Sadly it's a lot more than that. For example, how Narita is entirely gone (Narita is the main international airport in Japan; you have to fly in there to arrive from overseas), and how in that one region there's Chinese and Korean both shown alongside Japanese (maybe Apple designed that part for people like me, who can read Chinese and Korean but Japanese not so well. Korean reads Jidori, whatever that is...).
Stuff like this really chaps my ass. I might live in North America but lots of my colleagues, friends, etc. live overseas (some of which used to live near me but have since relocated). So it upsets me almost as much as it does them.

Williamsport, PA | yawn Yet ANOTHER Apple hate fest. Maybe we should just create a forum devoted solely to bashing all things Apple?
I've been using iOS 6 for a week now, and it is not bad at all. It certainly isn't a drastic change, and it probably doesn't deserve to be called version 6 (5.5 maybe?).
As for the maps, it's not as bad as people are making it out to be. It really isn't. And it will all get fixed.
That said, I agree that Google Maps is better. The iOS version just didn't have turn-by-turn, which is a very useful function that really should be included on every smart phone. I actually have been using the Garmin app ($40) on my iPhone, and it works very well. In fact, it works better than either Google or Apple because it doesn't require data. All the map data is stored on the device, so it is fast, works in the boonies, and doesn't use as much power.
It's only because Apple has such a loyal base, and is so successful, that people feel like they need to bash them at every chance they get. Just look at the names in this thread and then the names in the dozen other Apple threads in the past week. It's the same damned people who feel the need to remind us how crappy Apple, iPhones, and iOS 6 are.
That said, I like my iPhone 5 so far. It's not a whole new experience, and it might be a long time before the next big thing comes out. Android has improved at a faster rate than iOS 6 has, that's for sure. Then again, it NEEDED to improve because prior to 4.0, it was a buggy, clunky mess. I wouldn't expect any drastic improvements from Google or Apple in the near future. I'm sure their cloud services will be a major focus for improvement.

kudos:20 | Re: yawn I own an iPhone 4S. I relied on the maps app heavily. It is currently entirely useless to me. That's pretty bad.
It won't do transit, and despite having spent the time to try a few others, I haven't found one yet that works well enough as a replacement (TheTransitApp is a confusing and counter-intuitive mess). Some of what are probably the better ones cost money, requiring me to pay for them just to see if they're any good. On top of all that, losing street view makes it much harder to figure out when to get off a bus or find he right place.
Even for driving directions it's barely functional. I tried to get driving directions to my parents' house 25 KM away, but it kept insisting on showing streets on the other side of the planet with similar names instead of showing me the one with the name that I had entered. Eventually, I had to give it the city name just to give it the clue that "cragmore" is a half hour drive away, and not in Greece or England.
Of course, it took me 5 minutes to figure out how to even get driving directions... They don't use "from" and "to" style text boxes anymore...
In short, the maps app is a horrible disaster that is sadly less useful than the web version of google maps (despite all the limitations THAT has)

The maps always ignore the smaller roads and focus on the major roadways.
Coming from downtown Toronto to my place, it insists upon taking Kingston Rd,but anyone worth their salt knows to take Gerrard, faster, less lights, less traffic.
However if you go past Kingston Rd the maps will take you do Danforth instead.
Same with visiting my family in Elora, it takes a roundabout way to get their. Once you've studied the maps you'll find a better route.

Hopefully it'll get fixed. I know a lot of users who have been burned by the lack of transit directions/data. I think Apple with it's car-centric campus overlooked something big for large segment of the population.
While it is possible to get maps of lines and such from 3rd party apps or the transit agency website, what was nice about google maps is it showed you bus stop locations. | |

kudos:3 | I've used apple iPhones since the 3Gs and have had every one since. I've always thought apple made their stuff and it not only worked well, it worked well together which was their strongest point.
I'm with you on most your points in that I don't like the apple bash fests that go on any more than I do the android bash fests - any bashing is just childish and totally immature by a bunch of morons with nothing better to do than bitch AND act like they have some sort of stake in the matter.. hint: no one here does. You either buy them, or don't.
But, if someone wants to post out a simple review as someone who ACTUALLY OWNS a device or say how they feel about their device, then so be it.
With that said.. I'm disappointed in the iPhone5 AND iOS6 for only a few reasons.
1) iPhone5's new dock cable. TOTALLY unnecessary. I see it as a cash grab for the accessory market. With one stupid decision, my home theater docks and my car connections are invalidated. One of the strongest points I liked about apple hardware was that it was a very streamlined upgrade and they didn't make you have to get all new gear every time.. until now. They DO sell an adapter, for an over priced $30.00. In my opinion, the $5 part is way over priced and a slap in the face to every iPhone user.
2) Apple has has HOW MANY LAUNCHES already of new iPhones? And yet they STILL can't seem to have enough iPhones ready for launch date? They LOVE and eat up the press they get from people lining up in front of stores everywhere. I find it ironic that it's okay to camp out on street sidewalks for a week prior to a launch of a stupid iPhone, yet when a homeless person wants to simply rest, that's somehow not okay. The circus is a slap in the face of all that is humanity and the game is a little old.
3) STILL a lack of memory stick. There is NO reason why apple should have a 16, 32, and 64gb model. It's not about the size of internal memory that gets me.. it's the fact that they will NOT simply put in a memory stick, even if it's proprietary to apple the same as was the Memory Stick to Sony. Just charge the outrageous $100 for 16gb if they want but stop the madness of no slot. I guess they don't realize people travel away from the one computer they can sync with and sometimes run out of memory. It would also be nice to carry along movies and such that one can swap in a memory port.
The above reasons are why I cancelled the pre-order of my iPhone 5.. well, for that reason and for the fact that I ordered it on the mess-day called "pre order".. except, well, as of the time of this posting I have still yet to see my order come out of back order. FUCK YOU APPLE. MOST honest businesses will not even charge the card until the item leaves the store.. however, apple/att feel it's necessary to take and use my money while I don't even have an iPhone to my name.
4) iOS 6. What ever their issue is with Google, the removal of it from the iOS with out a valid replacement isn't acceptable to me. The native mapping system and youtube app were my two most used items. Further, for apple to partner with such a piece of crap organization such as Yelp! for business information was WAY over the edge for me. MANY people used the google map app for locating businesses, or finding numbers. The un-restricted user community of Yelp! in my opinion is NOT something apple should have put in the face of millions of people.. that was a HORRIBLE mistake. A non-bias listing of businesses is ALL that should be used, ever.. When someone uses maps to locate a business, no reviews what so ever should be included with those listings. I personally feel that's a very loose anti-trust issue.
5) iOS6 should have not been released with out first making sure everything worked smoothly. The mapping program is clearly not ready for prime time. Apple is worth billions, right? They should have gotten it right.
The update day STILL causes major issues for people. Again, they simply just have never been able to give people smooth updates.. they should be prepared for the massive hits to their systems, yet they don't. We STILL hear of the 5 hour update times, failed updates, crashes, loss of data, etc.
They put people at risk with their irresponsibility and that's enough for me to finally say it's time to try something new. After almost 4 years, I'm giving apple a break.

| Apple Steals iOS6 Clock design from Swiss Clockmaker So while Apple is busy scorching the smartphone world with their billion dollar They Stole From Us! lawsuit machine;
another one of Apple's own copyright 'thefts' comes to light.
said by forbes :Is it patent infringement when you copy basic design elements?
Apple says yes, and so does a billion dollars in damages from the landmark Apple vs. Samsung case.
The Cupertino juggernaut may want to temper that claim, however, as it seems Apple may have ripped off the design for its new iPad clock app.
A report in a Swiss Newspaper, ... notes that the aforementioned clock is a near-exact duplication of the Swiss Federal Railway Clock, an apparently iconic design by Hans Hilfikker in 1944. The railway occasionally licenses the copyright out to watchmakers, so this isn't new territory. I'm thinking Apple doesn't actually have ethical standards.
It's all just business to them.
