I generally go out with the mindset that 'today i'm going to get lost, but luckily I have my iPhone

That is so true. Same here. I'd probably be somewhere in Russia, still looking for a address about 100 km away from my house, without my iPhone's guidance

The apple v Samsung trial was decided by one person. One member of the jury who is a small time software developer who bascially told the jury how to vote.

I personally dislike Apple simply because of their ability to market very well to the not so informed or seemingly intelligent. Not called all Mac users stupid or anything, but I have ran into quite a few who simply buy because its the "cool thing to do". So expensive when there are much better products available at much cheaper prices. I was shocked this weekend when I found out that Iphone didnt have turn by turn directions. All I could say was... well... nothing. My jaw dropped. How do you have a smart phone that DOESNT have that feature? I bought my first smart phone in 2010 and it had turn by turn. So you mean to tell me that the almighty iphone didnt have this?!!

Anyways, gg wp Apple marketing. Keep feeding off of the swag/yolo tards while you can.

Heck, even my Sanyo Katana II (Motorola Razor knockoff) had turn by turn directions. And it was made in 2007!

you have to walk a couple meters to have the compas work I'd imagine?

No works immediately, but I never use it. For some reason it actually knows when I turn my iPhone where North is. Uses the same info as the GPS I guess

Go figure the new maps app sucks. Other then that the new iOS6 is pretty nice.

I also like how you can now facetime over 3G. Who needs phoning minutes when you have the internet & facetime.

Guess it then takes info secretly, you can't pinpoint north at the spot without either previous GPS data (unless you got military grade GPS, still iffy then) or magnetism (doubt they got that installed ).

Turn the whole thing off, move a bunch and put it in a different but for you known direction and turn it back on without moving an inch, does it do it correctly then?
