iOS 6 kinks
iDespise 6.0 maps all screwed up, nothing connects, a whole lot of garbage, trash, and corrupted apps. Messed up GPS, no direction and wrong direction. Outdated and in severe need of an upgrade. Do not commit one mistake after another.
Many things broke with iOS 6. Actually, Apple, in case you don't know, you might have gotten your shareholders their increased market share, but you've rocked consumer confidence. The broken stuff, incongruent design and colour, leaves me with the negative impression that iOS 6 was rushed to deploy in iPhone 5 in order to save the shrinking market share to Samsung with the S3 release.
Poorly coordinated across various Apple apps. That awful Apple maps botched job. Placeholder text for street names. There must have been various outsourced vendors working on different map regions since there were Japanese fonts appearing on Russian maps! All coordinates are consistently out of sync, yes that's the only consistency. Incomplete QA that was not thoroughly executed. Colours and fonts that are clearly not Apple signature. Mail servers not connecting. Broken apps. Find my iPhone on outdated and misplaced maps so that app is as good as useless.
That's not to say there aren't any good things. The main screen has an improved colour palette. App edges are smoothed and appear softer, humanistic appeal. Much much improved iTunes interface. No more load more after refreshing on a dropped network connection.
But because of the Apple standards that have set sky high bars, even such a release goes deep in negative tones and the positive effects are quickly forgotten as people are swept up by the what-fails instead.
Apple, NOT releasing a product is better than releasing a half-baked product. According to standards developed, set, and religiously adhered to by your predecessor, this is an appalling move.
