Apology can be accepted if they fast track google's map application to at least mitigate this mess. I am glad that I didn't update my iphone to ios6. The wife isn't so happy that I update her phone!
Google says they're not yet working on such an app.
I think it's cute how Apple-customers takes for granted that Google will fix Apple's problems to make their life better instead of promoting its own platform.
They could trivially bring Google Maps from iOS5 to iOS6... if Apple wanted them to.
Why do you say that? Google didn't make the the Maps app in previous versions of iOS, Apple did—they just used Google's data.
Apple could, and apparently they have a year left on their contract?
