You've made 3 posts in this thread. 2 chastising someone and 1 disparaging Cue. To be fair, no one here benefited from your posts either.
I mean Rampage slags off on Federighi. You slag off on Cue. The discourse of either post really didn't rise to the level of
beneficial, did it?
On topic: I think it good that Apple can admit when they make missteps. It's also key that they realize marketing to perfection leads people to expect perfection. I will always believe that Maps could have debuted with much less criticism had Apple set the proper expectation. Didn't quite do that. Instead we got: "This is {insert multiple superlatives here} Apple Maps. It's {insert multiple superlatives here}. We think it's going to be {insert multiple superlatives}.
I also like the honest about not fully realizing the complexity involved with mapping. I'm guilty of doing the same thing sometimes. I see something that looks easy and think, I could do that since it's only x, y, and z. Only to find out later it took a through w plus x, y, and z to actually make it work.
Cue deserves what ever he has coming to him and its fair
To say he is disliked heavily on this site. And it's true. There is no fallacy in my Post what so ever. It's my opinion and I am entitled to it. Just because I called out another forum member, does not mean I chastised him, none what so ever. His post was off base and preposterous, and I set the record straight, which then you retorted in return. And here we are now, having to reply to you, who believes he read the previous posts understands where and why My thoughts were generated from, when in retrospect, you don't.
Secondly, If it encouraged you to reply to my post based of defending Craig, so be it. Call a spade a spade.
And why would someone need to benefit from my post? For what reason? Maybe they
agreed with the post(s), it doesn't take another forum member to benefit from my post, does it?
Back on Topic: I to agree with you Apple reportedly admits Mistakes. They have too. If they didn't and hid in the corner, the media, consumers, Shareholders would all out attack them for their short comings. And it takes a successful company to visibly see their downfalls, adapt and overcome. Apple of all companies, understands this through Sculley and Job's era.
One of the reasons I am supporter of Apple, is I see myself as a Perfectionist. So I have a general appreciation for quality hardware and secure software standards. Let's not have any false modesty here, Apple is the leader in various ways, and other companies tend to follow. Even though many may disagree, that's expected.
I cannot explain enough how many Companies mimic Apple on their core standards and policies. And I'm telling you this from a Fortune 500 Company Investor. But why? Because their successful in so many avenues, in their marketing and refinement in their product line.
Wasn't it Cook not long ago who stayed, 'Apple makes mistakes, but we work harder to capitalize on those mistakes." Tim is definitely recognized for his differences between Jobs, but being Jobs appointed Cook, I think Cook is on a whole new level with Apple. Look at what they are in the process of developing, the Apple Car (For what we know). Who would of thought Apple would be in the Research and design for an autonomous vehicle, with Mansfield at the helm? Not 20 years ago.
I know this has been somewhat of a doom and gloom year reportedly for Apple, but I have said it once, and I will say it again, Cook is not concerned or easily shaken. He is to smart for that, and he is all business. Just wait, Apple will most likely reset the market with the Tenth Anniversary iPhone. Apple makes me think of the 'Dark Horse' team in the 4th quarter, least likely to succeed by Consumer reports, but then overcomes and succeeds with confidence.
Apple is my key holder for my Company and laugh when I hear those who mock them pre-Jobs era compared to now. Really? Those individuals are ignorant and need to Get real.
Signing off from a passionate Apple loyalist.
