Support NeoGAF

The icon is also telling people to drive off an overpass.

Lol, that's hilarious.

 

[Good Job Bob]

Apple's really trying to kill people with this new maps app.

What mapping app doesn't do this?

There's a freeway entrance there.. are there any mapping apps that actually draw a tiny line exactly around the entrance? (for phones)

 

[Nevasleep]

Probably already posted, but google maps doesn't open maps application, it loads website instead and shows how to save to homescreen.
Pretty obvious why.


Also no streetview, no go for me.

 

[Shearie]

Posting this again even though iOS 6 Beta GAF hates me and doesn't want to answer my question.

A question to anyone in the beta; when "Do Not Disturb" is on and you get a call, will the call not interrupt what you're doing anymore or does it just silence the ring? I'll be very disappointed if it's just the latter.

hasn't the mobile google maps website always been like this?

 

[LyleLanley]

Yup.

Oh wait, so if you choose Maps on 'google bar' it loads site, but if you choose a map under search results it opens app.

 

[Holy Wars]

Oh man the new Maps app is so bad. I know I'm late to the party on this but wow.

Overall iOS 6 doesn't really have much that interests me. It's certainly no iOS 5.

[noah111]

Hasn't that been a feature for a while now?

WHAAAAAAT. Color me surprised, I rarely use my iPhone/iPad to browse the stores, I do that in iTunes on my Mac.

 

[iAmMaximus]

Anyone else's Maps crash when trying to enter a a start and/or end destination? The first letter I enter just crashes the app for me. :\

I don't think I've used one that doesn't do this.

EDIT: Just saw the pic above my post.

What font is the new maps app using? It looks like nokia pure hahaha

Avenir. Great typeface.

Kind of pissed that turn-by-turn navigation won't make it to the iphone 4. First Siri, now maps. Is it really that hard to keep my phone current for the two years it is under contract?

 

[layzie1989]

here's to hoping the jailbreak community can bring turn by turn to the i4

 

[dream]

I'm more amused by FaceTime over cellular being held back from iPhone 4.

Your phone is current through October.

iOS 5 will be out in October.

You're welcome.

By the time iOS 6 comes out you'll have had your iPhone for 2 years. There ya go.

Edit: Wait nvm lol. I'm dumb.

 

[Appleman]

Posting this again even though iOS 6 Beta GAF hates me and doesn't want to answer my question.

Just tried it without changing any do not disturb settings and browsing the internet and the call appeared to come in as normal, taking over the phone and vibrating (silent switch was on).

 

[Tobor]

My 2 year contract is up in July. I'll dump my 4 and get the new one in October. Good timing.

Booooooooooooooooo

Thanks for the answer though

How do I add stuff into Passbook? Is it through the app itself or through the App Store?

 

[CrunchinJelly]

I think it's going to be like Newsstand where Apps add themselves to it. Don't think there is a way to add stuff yourself.

Is typing on iPad 3 laggy in iOS 6 for anyone else?

 

[Choc]

can i seriously not get sattelite images on the ipad 2?

edit: also can someone please try this with a siri enabled pad/phone

"what was the last manchester city score"


i wanna know if it knows the premier league

Wait, what? Isn't the ipad 2 more powerful for its resolution than the ipad 3 is for its resolution?

 

[Tobor]

They're already laying the groundwork. Between iOS messaging/facetime/camera roll comments they're heading there. I do really like their osx/ios notification merging.

Those data centers apple has been building aren't just for picture swapping. They're doing a very good job of creating a proper platform. Social is a big part of staying afloat for any company, purely for the data points they provide for further advancement of software.

Ping looks like it's finally being put out of it's misery and the dude from AllThingsD sees it the same way I do:

Sources close to the company say that Ping, which still exists today in iTunes 10.6.3 and the iOS 6 beta — where it doesn’t work, will be gone with the software’s next major release, likely scheduled for this fall. And at that point Apple’s social networking offerings will shift to Twitter and new partner Facebook entirely.

Which makes perfect sense.

At this point, years into the social networking phenomenon, why not leave the social stuff to the social people who are good at it? Apple might be great at software and hardware, but its skills in creating a social network are sorely lacking. So much so that it’s not even bothering to salvage Ping with the help of the folks at Facebook, a company that might have improved the service’s chances of success had it been on board for its launch.

It does.

Spotify has established itself pretty quickly by leveraging Facebook. Apple has to fend off the competition by using Facebook too, there's no time to waste.

Two years? Lucky. It's 3 years here in Canada.

Gotta clean up Job's messes before you can move forward.

 

[btkadams]

seems cool. maps is completely useless though, so i'm not sure i'll put it on my phone (despite it running very well on my iPad).

the sims free play isn't working so i think i might downgrade. it's my favourite iPad app haha.

it's nice having full siri support in canada, but it seems like to gets what i'm saying wrong a lot now. it definitely wasn't the case before. i'll have to test it out more. siri in ios6 is buggy regardless though. i'll have to send some feedback to apple about it. for example, i'd write a tweet, and then say i want to change it, and it won't recognize i said to change it. it'll just repeat the same statement to review/send/change it. also, in the siri "what do you want to do" menu, it says underneath the mapping one that it is only available in the US. it's not the case now. ui inconsistencies like that seem pretty stupid to have left in, despite it being a beta.

I know you're just trolling, but he'd be the first one to admit it sucks and kill it. It's good to see Cook not double down on a mistake.

I cant help myself, but I still think, as a long term goal, Apple will be expanding in the social aspect.

 

[outunderthestars]

I don't. Social networks rise and fall too rapidly to invest major resources into. Better to simply connect to whichever one is popular at the time.

She's probably a fan.

3D Maps looks suspiciously like the same thing nokia was showing off for their maps a year or two ago. Is it the same technology?

 

[LyleLanley]

3D maps isn't working for anyone, right?

No, it's from a company Apple purchased.

so confirmed? no sattelite imagery on ipad 2 in maps?

There's no flyover.

But that's not the same as satellite images. Someone with the beta can double check but I'm pretty sure they're still in.

 

[JayDub]

Anyone know if iOS6 supports message access profile (MAP)? It allows SMS to be sent to the car's infotainment system. I know iOS5 did not support it.

i have the beta on my ip2 but i cant figure out how to turn it on if it has it

When you flip the lower right corner of the map to get to options, you should have buttons for hybrid and satellite views. Plus drop pin.

And I think you can still get the vector based 3D stuff by sliding two fingers up or down the map screen. Not sure.

Ohhhhhhhh! Turns out that company was the same one that did it initially for nokia maps! So they must have done it for nokia first then got bought out by apple.

I was wondering why the technology never expanded any further for nokia. This explains it.

 

[Appleman]

I haven't found too many cities with 3D map support, but anyone who is wondering about it working should switch to satellite, hit 3D and try Chicago

 

[LyleLanley]

uh? I'm guessing you're on iphone 4

No, I'm on a 4S.
