After just today reading news about the ios6 map app failing, and then this article, I really am amazed at the deterioration of the company. Nothing too surprising as all goods things come to an end, but still, this is fast.
I agree, this is fast, but not in the way you mean.

Arguably a much more catastrophic failure, though limited in scope by a smaller user base.
Apple went on to fix those issues in Mobile Me, rebrand it iCloud, and everything has been gravy ever since. Apple's stock price went from $175 in August that year down to $97 that October. Today it stands at $667.
So if you could, given this context, explain what makes iOS 6 maps point to deterioration in the company in a way that Mobile Me did not. You will receive bonus points if you manage to do so without invoking a red herring in form of the death of Steve Jobs.
edit. I see that Mr. Cook apologized. No one was harmed, so all seems well to me. Still waiting on the Nokia 920 to hit the streets though ;) Cheers
