Anyway its all hindsight I guess, now they need it fixed as soon as possible to stop the jokes, everyone is talking about this, most of my friends are not into tech and they all know about it. I really hope they release a stellar iPhone 5s when the time comes, with this and just giving money back to shareholders I can't see them lasting the next 50 years.

I hope Apple really gets this fixed soon. The joke has to end.

And "Print Google Maps instructions before you go on any trip, iOS Maps is broken"

Isn't damaging?

I don't know. The last thing I would do on my phone if I weren't a technical user is go to the Google Maps website when my default "Maps" app isn't working. If this was a consistent problem for me, for every or nearly every address I checked (I mean really, Berlin in Antarctica?), I would just say that Apple Maps sucks and refuse to use it and share this unpleasant situation with my friends and co-workers and other iPhone users that happened to mention they would just punch it in to their Maps program. That's just me, though.

In fact one friend felt bad about upgrading his iPhone because his provider offered a upgrade on his contract. He said it didn't cost too much so doesn't matter. These are normal people who think iPhone is becoming a joke.

This is because of a sub-par launch that was over anticipated and a complete mockery of the richest public company in the world because of this single app. A app widely used by millions for transportation times and searching for places.
