RE: Iphone 5 map app falls short
The iPhone 5 has come out and the major disappointment is their map app
As MahindR said, the iPhone 5 map app has been a major disadvantage to the phone as a whole. I completely agree with this as I have updated my iPhone 4s to the new iOS 6 and was completely dissapointed by they defect in the maps as it had been advertised for its “3D maps” which are completely wrong and mislead the user which is drawback.
I would say that although the iPhone 5 does have a few good features, it is not the greatest product apple has made as the software update was available for most iPhones so the difference between the iPhone 5 and 4s are very minimial. In addition, although the iPhone 5 is still popular and there are people wanting to purchase it, the fact the map app is inaccuarate may lead to consumers to rethink when buying apple products (and may even choose an alternate phone).However, apple’s iPhone 5 is one of the best in the world, but in order to make sure that their consumers do not move entirely away from purchasing the iPhone 5, they should, like MahindR said, be motivated to create newer applications to improve the image of the iPhone 5.
