As an addendum to my comment this event set a bad precedent. As the excuse to fire Scott Forstall was to come out with a similar (non) apology.
Which is really ironic, because had Jobs not chosen to make this ridiculous NON apology for the iPhone 4 antenna, Tim Cook would not have requested that Forstall do the same for Apple Maps, which is by all indication way better than android maps at this point. (YMMV)
And I switched to Android because iOS7 is a disaster because Forstall is gone and its now a horror show. You be the judge.
