Slowly will over time by working on their maps, but that's it. So yes it's unbelievable they actually admitted they wrong. My mind is still boggled.

                M@i20, 28 Sep 2012Apple Inc. has demanded $10 billion from farmers as compens... moreApple Inc will not be successful in their lawsuit against Apple farmers as the Apple inc logo is not spherical as it has a piece missing. (Bite on the side) This logo was intentional as an indication that the product is not "Whole" (complete).
                All you Palm Pilot users from 2000 know this, when Apple released their first Smartphone in 2005 it didn't include "Copy & Paste".
                All the Appleheads overlooked this which enforces the theory that Apple customers would buy crap, so long as it has an Apple (with a piece missing) printed on it.

                              Hope Google not allow iOS user to use of Google Maps.
                              Urge that Apple use their own map and not allow iOS use Bing, MapQuest and Waze, or use Google or Nokia maps.
                              No matter how good or worse iOS Map, let user decide.
                              Seem Apple sue those company before, why need to allow apple to use those company maps.

                                I don't know why some people here still bashing tim cook after apologizing about this issue
                                Apple is known for its "deal with it attitude", this is actually a fresh start for apple to willingly admit their fault
                                Before when there is antenna gate issue, all apple said is "you're holding it wrong"

Seriously, what do you think Apple is. It's just another company. They have some very successful products and some utter failures. Why do you expect that it will go on to create an entire iWorld that replaces everything around? Wake up, buddy.

                                      Well... A while back someone told me "Apple products just work". Guess its not always the case. Did they bother to do some quality control or even testing before releasing it to the public?

                                      One cannot depend on luck for product to work.
