APPLE: The Eulogy :(

[Murgatroyd]

…,

Apple Maps never recovered.

…,

This is The Eulogy. Apple: The Company of Yesteryear.

I honestly haven't been impressed with anything Apple has released in the last 5 years. Apple is not indestructible. Wait! Look at the numbers! Everything they built is going to fade.

I want to believe Steve would've pulled Apple Maps at the first signs of inferior quality. He never would've allowed the public to endure the odor and the image of that smeared paste stain of Apple Maps on her underwear until, of course, she cleaned herself up. Cook simply lets her walk around in public like that. #pathetic
[doublepost=1510314138][/doublepost]Party-time-type mediocrity now rules at Apple. Like a large government bureaucracy no matter who is in charge it basically can run and function by itself. Cook is not a leader in the true sense of the word, and perhaps there are no other territories to travel to and conquer, but he could be drunk every day and Apple wouldn't suffer productivity or revenue loss; Apple is so large it runs itself, for the most part.

What's lost is the vision that Apple once had to those who remember its beginnings. Likened to Alexander, Napoleon, or Washington, our leader is dead, and their vision only a memory now.

Sort of sad, … and with Rock gone belly up? well, perhaps I and others of like mind have lived too long :0

I think millions of paying customers would disagree. The nice thing about an open market is that you have choice. Buy an android, a dell.

Such a SAD! comment.

Chances are Steve Jobs knew what it would be like for Apple Maps in the early days and was likely involved to one degree or another with the early stages of planning it all out. That said, it if it wasn't for Apple Maps who knows when iOS users would have gotten navigation features, along with other improvements that Google wasn't really willing to bring to iOS all that quickly (if at all).
