    Luckily for apple it's just a software problem which can be fixed but oh boy was it a HUGE mistake!! and of course he had to admit it! There was no way of beating around the bush on this issue unlike the scratch issue, the proof was too overwhelming.

      [deleted post]You are unbelievable!!

      You troll every gsma blog with exaggerated or blatantly inaccurate comments about Apple as you receive to do the slightest online researchto fInd the truth or read the posted links from bloggers that show proof of where you are wrong.

      Now the Apple CEO publicly admits their error yet you still can't admit they have made a mistake.

      You don't believe others. You don't believe online research. You don't believe Apple CEO. What sheltered, self delusional world you living in?

            It is very sad for the buyers/customers when products are rushed to the market without a proper R & D and final testing in the field.

                            Cook mind saying yeah just use other apps and maybe we will fix the Imap. You consumer can't do anything you already bought the publicity and buy shity product. And we make lots of money see you again next year for the next ishit that we will sell and you stupid will buy it any way

                                A strategic move, now apple's public image has stopped going into free fall for the time being.


                                Coca Cola did the same thing when they said they were sorry for changing the taste of Coke and changed it back. After that their public image was better than ever before.

                                    While we’re improving Maps, you can try alternatives by downloading map apps from the App Store like Bing, MapQuest and Waze, or use Google or Nokia maps by going to their websites and creating an icon on your home screen to their web app.

                                    they should apologize for their map icon... of course you get lost!!!

                                    who makes a left turn off an overpass unto the highway?

                                    facepalm... apple wants you to drive you car over the barrier and land(hopefully safely) on the highway several feet below....
