Survey reveals disappointment with iOS6 from customers!

Recent surveys conducted by On Device shows that customers who upgraded to iOS6 from iOS5 are not thrilled about the  new upgrade.

The survey which was conducted on 16,000 people by On Device reveals that this is the first time there is such a noted drop in user satisfaction after an update. The results actually reveal this to be surprising considering the excitement among users who upgraded from iOS4 to iOS5.

On Device CEO had this to say:

We have always seen an increase in device satisfaction as consumer upgrades their mobile operating system from one version to another.

The major reason attributed to the drop in customer satisfaction can be the fact the iOS6 uses Apple’s own mapping services instead of the Google Maps as the previous version did!

High-Security spots revealed in Apple Maps

While the issues on Apple Maps continue, yet another issue came up. Apple Maps does not obscure or pixilate any security-risk spots.

The Verge did Maps comparison between Apple, Google and Nokia and found out that Apple displayed a clear picture of military installations that are sensitive to national interests of various countries.

This is not the only secured spots that have been clearly displayed in Apple Maps. Turkey’s island of Imrali where Kurdish separatist leader Abdullah Öcalan, among the high-risk inmates jailed in a maximum security, is clearly displayed in iOS 6. In Japan Island of Minamitorishima, a vital military airstrip was also clearly displayed in iOS6. There are other sensitive or high security-risk locations that are displayed on iOS 6 Maps. US as part of NATO is not exempted as Apple Maps revealed its interests in Geilenkirchen, Germany.

Since 2005 Google has been providing mapping service. They always made sure that it is a habit to obscure high security-risk locations every time they show directions. Google also said that those images have never been blurred. As per Google, the images from their satellite arrived blurred on high security-risk locations.

On the other hand, while apple is busy on apologizing and cleaning their maps “mess”, Google has updated their maps showing 51 cities with its 45 degree imagery. This birds-eye image is available in 37 U.S and 14 International locations.

Google also updated 17 cities and 112 countries’ aerial images on their high-resolution satellite maps. 

If only Apple could have this updates after Google is done with it, then it will be one mess off at a time.

Apple Maps dropped 4 percent usage

Along with the updates of new iOS 6 comes a disastrous Apple Maps on the Apples new smartphone model, iPhone 5.

According to Snappli, who is responsible for compressing data and video which help people stay within their limits, claims that before iOS 6 update, 25% of iPhone users are using Google Maps. Now that users installed iOS 6 update to their iPhone, Google Maps usage has reach up to 35% compared to the homegrown Apple Maps which is only 4%.

Tim Cook, Apple CEO, issued an apology to iPad, iPhone and iTouch users with regard to its Apple Maps application. He also suggested for users to use other Map carriers such as the Nokia Maps and the Google Maps while Apple techs are cleaning up the mess.

As Snapplis’ data, iThings users heed the advice which increases the download of other maps. However, since Snappli is just one source, the data does not equate for all the activity of downloading new different maps in iPhone.

As for Apple Company, we appreciate the sincerity and we’re looking forward for iPhone 5 to regain its throne.
