can't fight with google maps. google maps invest in constant updates to mapping data. it also uses users' updates to correct erroneous local details. a lot of critical apps will be location-based, and google has the edge here with overall integration to navigation, maps, places and latitude. street view and 3d building data add more perspectives and info to a very reliable and accurate platform that improves year by year. and the data is globally precise, not just u.s. centric. tomtom mapping data is u.s. centric, but fails miserably with data outside the u.s. apple will invest in tomtom and/or a 3rd party to get this fixed in the next ios upgrade.

I think ios 6 is only for ip5 phones and the new ipad. So far never asked to update my ip4 so 5.1.1 is the last update for the ip4 and ip4s.

steve will not approved iphone 5 as it is. To lengthen the screen to increase size is retard, this is not the apple we love. He was quite adamant about the aspect ratio. He hate 7 inch ipad too.

Google should quickly bring out mapping software for iOS6 and rake in the $$$. Better than using the in-built shitty Apple Maps.

AK you shouldn't blindly support one brand.

For me i jumped unto the apple bandwagon starting with the 3G and then move on to the ip4. when the 4s was released i realized it wasn't that much better and then jumped unto the android bandwagon. I use both brand of phones so i know the weakness and strengths of each one. Just like my pc hardware whereby i change from nvdia's green camp to the red camp and back again without any attachment to either brand.

Apple (or Steve Jobs) is famous for paying attention to details and making sure everything works smoothly right out of the box.
That is the main reason why people pay a premium for its products.

No software is 100% bug free at launch, but the current quality of the iOS6 maps is unacceptable. Letting users do beta testing for you is Microsoft's style, not Apple's.

I agree the OS map is below expectations, seems like they are rushing for it. If Jobs still around, he wouldnt approve it at all. But you cant condemn the OS because of 1 application. If it hangs, battery consuming, lags when on the move, then I got nothing to say.

i bet you 10 bucks that after 1 to 2 year waiting for apple map, it will not be as good as google.
