The iPhone 5 has hit the stores, and the demand for the
product is through the roof. Everyone is trying to get his or her hands on this
amazing new and improved smartphone. I mentioned before that the improvements
to the device will be minimal and not an overwhelming change that will separate
this iPhone 5 from the previous iPhones. One of the improvements besides
tweaking the Siri system would be adjustment to the Maps app. The size of the
phone is another change, the dimensions have decreased which has resulted in
several issues as well. One issue is that the new connector will not work with
older dock-connectors. The article talks about how the small change of
dimensions results in a high price for something that is not very significant.
The maps app is one topic that a lot of people are talking
about, the Maps app was originally provided by Google maps. The Google Maps app
was very helpful on one that was easy to understand. The author of this article
talks about how he was typing in certain locations in the iPhone 5 and they
were not coming up in the Maps app. “Finally, there's Maps. I don't mean to
pile on, but this replacement for Google Maps is embarrassingly inept. It
doesn't list the new Yards Park and 11th Street Bridge in Washington, D.C.. It
put the Kennedy Center and Dulles Airport at incorrect addresses; its
directions to the latter could get a driver arrested and possibly run over by a
747. And it suggested a route into the District on a bridge that a construction
project has temporarily removed.” From reading this article I believe that
there are a lot of things that Apple missed the target with, I believe that we
will not truly know how great this product is until it is released to the
public.
