iOS6 Changing how you see the world

That's just cringeworthy, when did Apple become so embarrassing ? :o

I actually like that

Shows a bit of character to the staff, and that they're actually alive. Unlike the usual comatose and moronic staff you get in most retail stores over here
 
Oh my god I live in a disaster area, my road has turned into wilderness, still got my house. How am I going to get to work ?????????????????

But are all the business etc.. listed?

That is handled by Yelp, if they're listed on Yelp then they'll show up on Apple maps. However, Yelp is crap and Google pull data from a much wider range of sources.

The whole thing needs time to flourish, unfortunately this is something they should have been doing since the first iPhone, not pulling a well polished product that everyone is accustom to (Google maps) six generations in to replace it with their own unfinished product.
 
Apple don't seem to realise or care about the impact of removing a mapping app which is useful not just for the millions of people finding their way about to find a pub, restaurant or shop, but for the thousands of businesses which depend on those people arriving.

Crazy.

But, presuming Apple pay Google, did Google refuse to allow Maps in iOS6? I don't think we'll ever know, but it's turning out quite well for Google at an opportune time...

The Galaxy S3 holds up pretty well, battery wise, size wise, feature wise and performance wise and it has a MicroSD card slot.:rolleyes:

Yea, apart from the fact the S3 is:

1mm thicker, 12mm wider and 13mm taller...

In volume terms:

iP5: 55,601 mm^3
S3: 83,652 mm^3 (50% more volume than the iP5!!!!)

A microSD card is 15x11x1 mm, or 165mm^3 not including all the support structure...

So quite a lot of space for Samsung to play with there, no?

Go have a look at the iFixit teardown, you won't find the space for an SD card.

Completely the wrong thread for this too :/

Why not just be honest? You don't want an SD card because Apple have said you don't need one.
 
Concorde Rules said:
Wrong thread for this, but they take up too much space. The card itself might be 'small' (in reality it really isn't) it needs all the stuff inside it.

Waste of space. I don't want one.



Secondly, to people who say they should have released it when it was ready:

Google Maps is YEARS old and has MILLIONs of people constantly updating and correcting their maps.

Apple now needs to build up a database which can ONLY BE DONE via users sending in corrections.

Unfortunately, maps will be **** until the database is sorted out. Period. If you think a company can suddenly magic up the required database and man hours to correct the whole world your deluded. Satellite imagery requires them spending more money tho, I don't understand why that is that bad :/

That is utter crock, I have worked with a hardware team who added an micro SD to circuit board (CPU board for flying robots/quadrotors) - the chip and support circuitry are about the size of a grain of rice.

Besides which I am 99% sure that the on board storage is nohing more than a hard wired SD card

Google paid Apple...

Google has already submitted google maps to the app store

that's fine. but as the default map app is Apple's I can't see how that would make a huge difference unless people actually totally shunned the built in functons...plus Apple will just refuse google maps and keep it from the app store....sorted

It's a Hynix (at-least in the iFixit one it was) NAND chip: http://guide-images.ifixit.net/igi/Re2rDw1F3PMUE2pP.huge

If it bothers you that much then buy something else, personally I don't want to mess about with SD cards :p

Buy a smartphone with a real navigation system.

And what have those phones traded for the SD card slot? Battery size? Features? Performance?

How clueless do you have to be to come up with this rubbish?

And then you imply in the next post that SGS3 is larger than iPhones because of the expandable memory.

LOL

Personally, you're a sheep. Just because you don't need/want a feature, doesn't mean most people wouldn't welcome an expandable and portable storage option. If you can't understand the benefits of having one, why the hell are you even posting on a tech forum.


This is why we have Apple forum, so all the special cases have their playground and can keep the circlejerk in their own Starbucks community (I don't mind Starbucks coffee by the way).

I hate fanboys of both camps as much as the next one, but some **** iPhone users come up with is just sad.
