To customers

Apple is committed to making products of the highest level in the world that deliver the best experience to our customers. However, the new map that began offering last week was unable to reach that criteria imposed on them. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience you may have. Currently we are doing our best to make the map better.

We started providing maps when we released the first version of iOS. Later on, as time went on I wanted to deliver a better map with features such as route guidance, voice integration, Flyover, vector based maps. To do that, we had to create a map of the new version from scratch.

The number of iOS devices that use Apple's new map has already exceeded 100 million units, and the number continues to increase every day. The location of iOS device users with new maps searched for about 500 million places in just one week. The more you use it for more customers, the better the map will be. Thank you very much for your feedback.

While we are working on improving the map, to everyoneApp StoreYou can download map application such as "map mapion", "map Yahoo! loco" etc. Visit the Google Maps website and click the iconCreate on home screenYou can also use the map.

Apple is always aiming to make their products the best in the world. We also understand that you are expecting that from Apple. We will continue to make constant efforts until the map reaches this extremely high standard.

Tim Cook
Apple CEO (CEO)

At the present timeGoogle's chairman Eric Schmidt replied in TokyoAccording to the contents, "We wish they (Apple) had been adopting our application, but it would be no help but it could not be helped", and Google Maps applications appeared in Apple's App Store As to whether or not to appear, "We have not done anything yet" replyingAllThingsDAccording to the interview, there are several reasons why we did not adopt Google Maps this time in iOS 6, but the biggest reason is "Google does not have the feeling of loading navigation function of voice guidance during driving of car Because it is "and this feature has been adopted in Google Maps for Android but it kept asking Apple to add voice navigation function to Google against what is not adopted in iOS version Despite being unacceptable, Apple has been driven by the need to control everything at its own company, has made it to create its own map application, and has become such a catastrophe as this time.
