Umm, not sure why I would have to spell this out but just maybe there was a coffee shop there previously or perhaps there's one there now. It's not a live image, Apple are good but not that good yet.

As you know, Apple are working hard to remedy the situation with Apple Maps and hired a new team:

I think you'll find that applies to any mapping solution.

Oh stop being so arrogant.

It is a product that has been released before it was ready and even Apple themselves have had to apologise for this.

I hope they sort it before May next year as I am actually considering one. If it is still like this and phone still chips as easily as a ****** make-up plastered face, I won't be getting one. Especially when there are other phones out there just as good if not better, that do not have these issues. (Google maps on my crappy Desire S works perfectly.)

I am sure many 4s owners are currently thinking the same thing.

No doubt, you will continue to ignore the fact that your precious bit of metal, plastic and wires has flaws out of the box.

I'm arrogant! What. So you're telling me that there are mapping solutions out there that are 100% accurate? I suggest you don't buy an Apple product, I can sense your moaning already.

Are Apple customers now allowed to moan if one of Apples own Apps doesn't work properly? They can't just give you a new phone for that.

Just seems very odd how Apple (and you I might add) aways go on about how their products 'just work'.

I think it's far more odd that people who don't own an Apple product go on about how it doesn't work.

You best get prepared for the next few weeks onslaught of new releases from Apple, iTunes, iPad mini, iMac, iPod Touch and others.

...yes, especially since there are now plenty of people who own Apple products who go on about how it doesn't work! I expect this to increase in the coming weeks with the onslaught of new releases from Apple, iTunes, iPad mini, iMac, iPod Touch and others.

Lovely tribute to Steve Jobs up on www.apple.com

A message from Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO
Steve’s passing one year ago today was a sad and difficult time for all of us. I hope that today everyone will reflect on his extraordinary life and the many ways he made the world a better place. One of the greatest gifts Steve gave to the world is Apple. No company has ever inspired such creativity or set such high standards for itself. Our values originated from Steve and his spirit will forever be the foundation of Apple. We share the great privilege and responsibility of carrying his legacy into the future. I’m incredibly proud of the work we are doing, delivering products that our customers love and dreaming up new ones that will delight them down the road.*It’s a wonderful tribute to Steve’s memory and everything he stood for.
- Tim

It was Steve Jobs, not 9/11.

Do we need a "tribute", "shrine" or special day for everybody who dies now?

Best joke I've heard so far.

A man using Apple Maps walks into a Bar. Or maybe a church. Wait, it's a park...

Don't buy an Apple product after saying that. You're marked and it will try to kill you while you sleep.

On a serious note, Steve Job's products touched many lives and he did some pretty amazing things in his life so I don't think it's any more strange that people remember him any more so than say a pop star or celebrity.

Exactly, a "pop star or a celebrity". He wasn't a Messiah.

Sure, I totally agree. He did some amazing things. So did lots of other people in that time and place. And lots of other times and places.

The guy is dead, let him rest in peace FFS.

Good work Apple.


"If Google's latest version of Android Maps is any indication of what it will offer iOS users, it needs to put a lot of work into its vector maps imaging to catch up to Apple's technology in Maps."

Fancy that, an Apple-centric website slating non-Apple products. Do you go to Fox to get your daily news?!

There was one sentence stating that Google Maps will have to catch up with iOS maps, I used it as I knew someone would chomp it up.

The rest of the article is informative for iOS users, makes a change from Fandroids telling us that iOS maps are crap, when in fact it's much improved.

I'm not sure why anyone who's not an Apple user would read this thread other than for trolling so why be bothered.

Its much improved from what? IOS6 maps release?
Apple maps still suck, it will take years to get it right and if you dont believe that and think its working as intended, you have been suckered once more.

Tony, how do you know what Apple maps are like? Use them much? Have you noticed how the amount of data used for maps has 'improved'?

Anyhow shouldn't you be scanning the internet trying to prove me wrong about the iPhone's processor? Or maybe looking up the meaning of years.
