Apple Maps is too good... for Taiwan's military secrets

0. phoneArena posted on 09 Oct 2012, 08:49

Apple Maps might not be the mapping solutions users want and like, but it is there and at least until Google Maps releases a native third-party app…

Steve Jobs once said about iPhone's virtual keyboard: "when you don't need it's not there, when you need it it's there".

Well with Apple's map "when you need it's not there, but when you don't it just won't go away"

LOL

Personally, there should be an App' to make Apple go away!

The problem with a virtual keyboard is that it covers up the screen that you still need.

This is amazing. Apple cant get a break...lol. And Google Maps having a blurry image was actually a good thing.

Makes me feel extra good about Google Maps and privacy now. Wonder what all the privacy folks that hate on Google have to say...lol

I don't know why they're flipping out, Nokia maps still looks even better than craple's

22. kellkeezy posted on 09 Oct 2012, 11:43 2

Now your just trolling with this comment, take a look again, at both of those images and tell me that, apple's, picture is not more clear then nokias? if nokia's picture was better looking then apple's, Then the article would read "Apple and Nokia maps are too good....for Taiwan's military secrets".

27. chaoticrazor posted on 09 Oct 2012, 17:29 2

doesn't change the simple fact nokia maps is better then apple maps plus as with nokia there images have better natural colours, apples are saturated if you look

33. Bernoulli posted on 10 Oct 2012, 09:31

Because this is iPhone arena!! And go on, hell you can even see a better blue spot in the building in the Nokia maps.

Apple: No problem, we will turn your country into a doodle just in case.
