jesus they've really cocked up on the maps things havent they! :(

i live in a very rural area, lucky to get 3g on a good day with a following wind....my map is just going to be a green page FML!
 
Re: iPhone 5. Pre-Orders 14/9. Ships 21/9. iOS6 Today @ 6PM

Ok, maps isn't great - but I can just about live with that though tear-filled eyes.

The fact that my iPhone 4 now 'can only play sound over AirPlay' however, is unbelievebly s**t. I really hope its not the same on my iPad.

LOL they really have fucked up from a map perspective.

Why did they pull away from Google maps? Mutual agreement?

If Apple decided to go it alone then you'd expect them to at least wait until the had a comparable alternative.

There was a contract for Google things (Maps, YT & Search) on iOS which expired this year.

Apple either didn't want Google Maps anymore (likely), wanted a lot of money from Google (likely) or Google wanted to escape (unlikely)

Maps need user data so it'll get better with time but that doesn't help anyone right now.

Just seen this myself! It's all well and good not giving an old device new functionality, but taking it away..... thats bad.

What do you mean only over AirPlay?

Really?

If I record a quick vid (ipad3) then I'm still able to stream it to my ATV3.

There's no YouTube app for iPad yet?

Almost certainly the first one.

Apple have already done the damage, I can't believe that they've stuck their heads so far into the sand with their "war with google" that they didn't realise that their own offering was, and lets be gentle here, crap.

It's going to take them years to get a dataset that is even close to google today.

Apple have already done the damage, it's kind of ironic that google could be the ones to come in and save them (from this mess).

If they release an App, I would also expect them to release a set of developer libraries that mimic the built in API for maps. That way, app developers could simply restore google maps in their applications by including a different header and library, basically they'd have to do nothing.

If google do play saviour and they do indeed bring out a library for developers, expect Apples Maps to shortly follow the path of Ping.

More I look at it, the more of a Win/Win it is for google.

I can now watch videos on the iPhone like before; but when I select my Apple TV so I can watch it on there instead I get a 'your device can only play sound over AirPlay' message pop up.

It thankfully appears to be as normal on the iPad, but there's no YouTube app yet afaik.

Unless I'm doing something wrong, this is crap.

It's silly. When someone is so far better than what you can do/achieve at the time, then don't try.

But they have tried. And failed. And taken away a good working version.

Does that give the navigation? You could push a button on maps before and it'd tell you what way you were facing?

Doesnt seem much different on mine? Still gives directions etc.

I get the same thing when trying to AirPlay videos from YouTube app to Apple TV. Jesus, is this actually a GM version or still a beta!!?

Aren't you referring to 'mirroring'? If so, that's never been available on the 4?!

Nope, normal AirPlay - play what's playing on your iOS device.


iCloud tabs is nice, but I feel like I've seen something years ago on Chrome (?).

Could do with finding a list of the changes tbh; as all I've come across so far is Passbook, Siri for iPad, s**tmaps, No YouTube, and a blue bar at the top when you're in app. Mesmerising.

Re: iPhone 5. Pre-Orders 14/9. Ships 21/9. iOS6 Today @ 6PM

Well I'm just thankful I never need to use maps. The only reason I've used it in the past is purely as an entertainment value.

Still, not the answer, but to me it's certainly not a game changer.

OMGZzzz, the world is ending. I do have to laugh! Come on guys it's a map that you got for free in the first place, now you'll just have to buy another one of maybe not the same quality but that works.
 
Re: iPhone 5. Pre-Orders 14/9. Ships 21/9. iOS6 Today @ 6PM

I'd expect the maps to improve quality/functionality over time.

It wasn't that long ago, that Google introduced StreetView - That took months/years before they covered more than just London - My area wasn't on there for months after most places were updated.

In iOS 6, I like the 3D for London - is it animated, as opposed to photographs?

I don't consider £500+ free, do you!?

I still ordered mine today lol

I'll quite happily defend Apple normally but they have f**ked up here.

Surely you pay for the entire package rather than a bit of metal?

If I wanted just a phone I'd have stuck with my 6210.

Yeah, I'm regretting it. Although you can deselect "Allow these apps to use: Calendar and Contacts"

I've just unselected both, lol.
 
Re: iPhone 5. Pre-Orders 14/9. Ships 21/9. iOS6 Today @ 6PM

I agree with Revels on this one.

Yeah you can add google maps to your front screen, you can use another map provider too, but that's not really the point.

They made a big thing of these new maps and sky view etc at launch only for it to turn out like it has.

First time I have known apple to make such a mistake. Ignoring the fancy 3D stuff, the basic navigation and mapping is rubbish.
 
Re: iPhone 5. Pre-Orders 14/9. Ships 21/9. iOS6 Today @ 6PM

The most telling sign that Apple have fucked up is when even Revels can't defend them, lol.

Passbook.... Click on App Store and it doesn't connect. It seems like there's no apps for it yet anyway? Kind of a waste to introduce it now?

Maps... Enough said.

Hate the new colour scheme.

Not keen on the new look App Store, it's data heavy and takes too long to load.

But it is faster. The new lost mode on find my iPhone is genius. Like the do no disturb. Send more photos is handy as Is the shared streams.

I'll give if 6/10!

I'm not even having to defend them. The maps are gone, they weren't Apple's to start with, okay Apple's own maps aren't great just now but it's hardly their forte. Maybe people would rather no maps to start with until they were right?

Surely you pay for the entire package rather than a bit of metal?

If I wanted just a phone I'd have stuck with my 6210.

So you didn't pay £500 for google maps then? You paid it for a phone. I know the maps were ideal but it's hardly the end of civilisation that you have to use the web page so to speak!
 
Re: iPhone 5. Pre-Orders 14/9. Ships 21/9. iOS6 Today @ 6PM

Not too keen on new App Store. Don't like the way you have to scroll through the apps etc, and have to go in to apps to see ratings etc.
