Apple keeps improving iOS 6 Maps.

Apple keeps improving iOS 6 Maps as promised while detractors keep attacking on the issue.

Apple should have mentioned in the beginning that iOS 6 Maps is a work in progress. Just like a series, they’ll fix each episodes in post. As higher quality aerial photos and Digital Elevation Maps are added and processed, iOS 6 Maps 3D view will be improved. The same goes with the navigation feature of iOS 6 Maps.

Comparisons below.

Steve Jobs, one year to the date.

From Apple.com:

A message from Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO.

Steve’s passing one year ago today was a sad and difficult time for all of us. I hope that today everyone will reflect on his extraordinary life and the many ways he made the world a better place.

One of the greatest gifts Steve gave to the world is Apple. No company has ever inspired such creativity or set such high standards for itself. Our values originated from Steve and his spirit will forever be the foundation of Apple. We share the great privilege and responsibility of carrying his legacy into the future.

I’m incredibly proud of the work we are doing, delivering products that our customers love and dreaming up new ones that will delight them down the road. It’s a wonderful tribute to Steve’s memory and everything he stood for. – Tim
