Steve admitted that "we're not perfect". Their products are at a high standard, that's why they have one of the leading smartphones. People expect more, and Apple know that and will always be struggling to keep up with the expectations.Nathan Liuhttp://nathan-liu.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2251437455227290511.post-12987850704499366032012-10-04T15:05:34.477-07:002012-10-04T15:05:34.477-07:00You pretty much echo my sentiment.

Apple has presented themselves as perfect for so long that if there are cracks in the veneer then people are going to start to loose their belief that apple is perfect. And that is why Alot of ppl buy their stuff. Also with the camera, the best camera isnthe one that is there when you need it. Apple has made a big deal over its camera so it needs to be good. I had a blue issue with one of my droids, but it was software not the lense. Had it been hard ware I likely would have taken it back since it was so frustrating. Fortunately they fixed it quickly. Turned out to be decent.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02396304140074225266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2251437455227290511.post-28073460357038953212012-10-04T13:55:51.182-07:002012-10-04T13:55:51.182-07:00Apple presents themselves as perfect. The other is...Apple presents themselves as perfect. The other issue is, let's say moto screws up the Droid, well they have 3 other phones that can make up that revenue. If Apple screws up the iPhone, they're well, screwed, until the next model comes out. They have higher risk due to the amount their business counts on one product.<br /><br />I think the reason that Maps is such a big deal is that it was a huge step backwards from the competition. If the 3D didn't work, but the maps and directions were accurate that's not a problem. But maps that take you to the wrong place is terrible. Apple now basically has to allow an iOS6 Google Maps app through their store. They could have otherwise tried to block it with their claim for a native app. <br /><br />People will be looking for perfection because Apple set the bar and need to keep raising it through perfection to stay in the lead and justify the high prices on the phone. As soon as it loses that perceived perfection many people will leave and the iPhone will be just another phone.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05583492196215265543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2251437455227290511.post-12914895922083827242012-10-04T13:44:36.648-07:002012-10-04T13:44:36.648-07:00I think the problem lays with the fact that Apple ...I think the problem lays with the fact that Apple are so successful. They are hugely valuable, and at times, seem unstoppable. This makes people look for problems. I'm not saying the maps are good, they're just as bad as the media make them out to be, and the camera issue is troubling, but when other companies release a poor product, they get nowhere near the amount of negative exposure as Apple do.<br /><br />People expect Apple to be 'perfect', but they're not. That's the problem.Nathan Liuhttp://nathan-liu.comnoreply@blogger.com
