Because Google Maps are not only very ACCURATE and provide very GOOD directions on foot and public transport.
Apple Maps are completely USELESS where I live, which happens to be one of the world's largest city.

Capitalizing and bolding random words doesn't prove anything. I'm pretty sure we can all read and pick out the important words. :)
 
For those updating on iPhone 5. Apple doesn't show GSM or CDMA, they only have model numbers.

A1428 = GSM
A1429 = CDMA

Incorrect, the vast majority of GSM customers around the world have the A1429 version.

AFAIK, only four carriers use the A1428 version. All GSM carriers outside North America use the A1429 version.

From what i read;
The A1428 model iPhone 5 is the Canadian and US AT&T network GSM iPhone,
The CDMA version of model A1429 works on Sprint's and Verizon's LTE networks in the US,

So being Verizon, A1429 is what I would want
 
My iPhone 5 updated successfully that isn't registered on any developer account. If that makes you angry feel free not to reply.

My phone got the update also. I'm not on a dev account either. Weird...
 
You should have tried out iOS 6 at the Apple Store before updating.

Sorry but this is a ridiculous thing to say. First off, you can't hardly test GPS and mapping viability in the store properly. I could go on but why bother. You are obviously content pointing the game at th user for upgrading and not the developer for launching the worst update in the history of iOS.
 
6.0.1 causes facebook to crash and no battery improvements?

Thanks apple you made it even worse..

i can't wait to see what you screw up in 6.1

My battery life is just fine, and who cares about facebook? Mine works on my phone with 6.0.1 and I still have not a single care to check it.
 
It's unprofessional that a software update makes some apps unusable to some people? Interesting.

If it's anyone's fault, it's Facebook's. It's not Apple's responsibility to make sure it's updates work with all 3rd party programs.

Considering the only app that seems to have an issue is Facebook, why does that become Apple's fault?
 
Apple never releases change lists for beta versions of iOS. Ever. And they never have.

Yes they did in previous betas.

Not really. This thread is about beta Apple software, specifically pertaining to iOS. iTunes 11 beta would be beta Apple software, specifically pertaining to iOS.

Yes really. You want to talk about iTunes 11, go into the correct section and join/create a thread. This is about iOS 6.1.....
 
Because turn by turn is completely irrelevant on a map that doesn't know where anything IS.

FFS.

Been using it for the last month and its now night and day to when it was released. Obscure pubs/clubs in my town show up, the search is improved. I have zero need to go back to google maps other than there not being a maps.apple.com service.
 
very pleased that apple declined those requirements.

I'm also in the camp that loves the apple maps. There are issues, sure, but it's a 1.0 product and i already use it far more than i used to use google ios maps. :apple:

Been using it for a month, every single day. Zero problems.

Given the number of "Apple Maps works okay" posts in this thead, it is very, very clear that a number of people are incapable of reading actually.

You are both correct.

A1428 is the AT&T version that supports AT&T's LTE bands.
A1429 comes in two versions; one for Verizon and Sprint (with CDMA enabled) and one for the rest of the world without.

All models have the same support for GSM and UMTS, they differ in LTE bands and whether or not CDMA is enabled.

You even got an uvote. I bet you didn't even check if others were having this issue. Its widespread and also happening on iOS5+ iOS6, etc.

But; i suggest you downgrade, and never upgrade again.
 
Are there any changes in the notifications center ?

Did they add some of the ideas provided by different designers ?
