It puts Apple into a more favorable light than the arrogant Steve Jobs days, for me, and makes me at least start to consider their products a little more seriously. To me, far from "losing their way" and showing some kind of misunderstanding of their (potential) customers, it shows a maturity and that they actually are gaining Wilson Zornnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6939470080127130165.post-19434490482309337232012-10-06T10:46:47.760-04:002012-10-06T10:46:47.760-04:00Dear Niraj Dawar,

Even if you put 1000 engineers and cartographers and add additional year of R&D, your product will be far from perfection, I am referring to Maps. Going with bugs is inevitable strategy and cloud sourcing will fix it. Company with balls can do it.<br /><br />2.

Yes, I agree -- glitches are practically inevetible. The relevant question is not whether this would have happened were Steve still here. The relevant question is how well will Apple handle this, and how would Samsung, Nokia, RIM, and HTC handle such a glitch? Apple will come out fine.Niraj Dawarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07945460723034266048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6939470080127130165.post-55553939342176901262012-10-03T20:09:30.047-04:002012-10-03T20:09:30.047-04:00While your post is not unreasonable, I am viewing ...While your post is not unreasonable, I am viewing this in a different light. I am a iPhone5 user and know how frustrating the maps app is. This being said, I thought it takes courage for the world's most valuable company to publicly admit their short-coming and apologize. My frustration with the maps app took a back seat, when I read the letter from Mr. Tim Cook.<br />Anyone who knows Apple Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6939470080127130165.post-85122682436207853852012-10-03T12:06:07.987-04:002012-10-03T12:06:07.987-04:00I am so sorry to have to agree with your post - fo...I am so sorry to have to agree with your post - for someone that has enjoyed Apple products for the past 6 years since they broke through in consumer centric design and useability. While I have always call the "disposable luxury" based on their pricing versus the longevity of their products- I still always enjoyed their plug and play features - i am concerned that they are losing it nowAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6939470080127130165.post-35170254985586755092012-09-30T09:51:21.153-04:002012-09-30T09:51:21.153-04:00The apology letter reads like something written by...The apology letter reads like something written by RIM.... and we all know that story. Technology companies are notoriously product centric and customer oblivious. A company-wide, deep understanding of customers is essential and difficult, but immensely rewarding.
