Millions of iPhone customers may soon find yourself lost an old friend - Google Maps.
On Wednesday, Apple released an iPhone software update, one of the changes is to use Apple's own map software to replace Google Maps since 2007 has been installed on this phone. Preliminary evaluation of the commentators and early users of this new software, which is an attractive software, but dragged down by some of the loopholes and failures.
For
example, some people find that the search for a destination of the
urban area, but may see a completely different cities in search results,
and the public transport system does not have a built-in information.
IOS early version of Apple's mobile software systems, including a made by Apple, but Google Maps service map application. Apple
in the latest version of iOS 6 using a map application of its
collection or purchase the new version of the map data, replacing the
old application.
Apple
prepare for this change has been for some time, Google developed the
Android mobile operating system during this period, it is more like
Apple's competitors, rather than business partners. During the past three years, Apple's acquisition of three mapping companies.
The
good news is that Apple's new map application includes some
characteristics different from the old version, such as a detailed voice
navigation, Flyover, this new feature shows the 3D model of the main
buildings in cities.
The shiny color Apple Map, zoom and move more quickly. Businesses and restaurants popular reviews site Yelp location search data. iPhone users can also voice-driven assistant Siri to tell them how to go somewhere.
But
because Apple do map software relatively late start, to make this
service like Google Maps as powerful, there is too much work to be done.
New York entrepreneur Anil Dash criticism in his blog on Apple and its map application. He
wrote that Apple "in its platform advantage, privilege left to their
own application software, rejected a competitor's product, even if it is
for the user is a bad experience". He
complained that, the search "Bloomberg" but can not see the company's
headquarters; Search bar on Lexington Avenue address, despite input "NY,
NY", he was pulled on a Brooklyn street.
Computer
systems administrator in the city of Louisville, Kentucky, iPhone and
iPad owners Trenton Fuller said he likes the Apple map of appearance,
but also found a similar problem.
Trenton Fuller said that he had to search for Heine Brothers, which is a coffee shop in Louisville popular. But
when he typed "Brothers," an abbreviation of the word "Bros.." Map
service will not be able to find the store, that is, he must enter the
exact name. In contrast, Google Maps, even in the case of spelling aliasing also find the correct results. Fuller's office, address the Apple map service provided is not accurate.
"If
you do not enter a 100% accurate name is spelled on the search for less
than corporate or attractions, this is disappointing." Trenton Fuller,
said, "The problem is inaccurate street address, will people super
disappointed."
Despite these problems, but Trenton Fuller said he does not regret ordering the new iPhone 5. Friday sales of the iPhone 5 will be installed on Apple's new software.
Apple
offers choice to customers in the public transport schedule, by
clicking on a label in the map application, download a third-party bus
applications where the city, although the quality of these applications
may be uneven.
Google
to create its own map application for Apple devices, and then submitted
to Apple for approval, the company declined to say whether to do so. Google
Maps vice president of engineering Brian McClendon is only willing to
say that the company wanted to make accessible to everyone Google Maps.
iPhone
users can browse through the mobile phone network to continue to use
Google's map service, which is a ratio of applications to be clumsy
method. Those
who choose not to upgrade to the new Apple operating system, or not to
buy a new iPhone users will be able to continue to use Google Maps,
there is no indication that Google or Apple will stop providing this
service. Google browser prompts the user application icon on the iPhone screen area to create a Google map icon.
With more and more people use the map of Apple, the company will learn how to make improvements. There
are 400 million devices running iOS device, and therefore will be
several millions of people may soon have a new map application. Scott
Rafer, the Lumatic CEO of a bus applications developed for the iPhone,
Apple map should become in the eyes of most people in the next two
years, and as good as Google Maps.
Scott Rafer said, "may have the use of the map (Google Maps) than this crazy software is important, but no one talked about it".
Although
Google executives would not comment directly on apple map, but they
remind people that Google put into this competition with professional
know-how accumulated over the years, and has a lot of exclusive data.
Apple
released iOS same day, Google for its Android Maps provides some minor
updates, such as allowing users to see the location on the computer
before its search.
Although the distance of the Apple press conference has been gone for several days, but the for iPhone5 discussions boom still continues, although for this release iPhone5 outside full questioned the voice, but this does not prevent the fruit powder iPhone5 enthusiasm.Now Detailed the iPhone5 and iPhone4S difference now!
iPhone5 and iPhone4S distinction one:
Changes in the housing
iPhone5 cell phone case, using a new material, while behind using a special metal material, iPhone5 and 4S but the appearance is still very easy to distinguish.
Larger screen
The iPhone5 finally abandoned the 3.5-inch screen, into a mainstream 4-inch screen, still using the Retina display. This time, iPhone5 screen resolution to achieve a 1136 x 640 resolution, 44% increase in color saturation than the 4S.
Lighter, thinner
The iPhone5 is only 7.6 mm thick, weighing about 112 grams. Thinner than iPhone4S 18%, and 20% lighter.
New headset design
This time iPhone5 headphones do a new design from the original circular design into a teardrop-shaped design, this design is easier to wear.
iPhone5 and iPhone4S difference between the two:
CPU and memory upgrades
The iPhone5 equipped with more powerful performance of the new A6 chip, CPU frequency up to 1066MHz. The chip performance is for iPhone4S twice addition, the graphics processing capability same iPhone4S twice. And the phone RAM running space from 512MB upgrade to 1GB.
New system
Upcoming iPhone5 will be powered by a new self-developed by Apple iOS 6 operating system.
4G LTE
Apple iPhone 5 have begun to fully support 4G LTE, which means that the mobile Internet speed is much faster than the iPhone 4S.
Upgrade of the camera
iPhone5 front camera 1.2 million pixels, support 720P FaceTime video calls better. Then rear camera is still 800 million pixels, but compared to iPhone4S new panorama shooting and 1080P full HD video recording capabilities.
Apple's new released the iPhone5 as usual in terms of hardware a lot of upgrades, such as the replacement of a faster processor, increased 4G network support, better cameras, these are loved by consumers. But iPhone5 have a significant "upgrade" caused widespread controversy in the users and the media. Is that Apple first introduced in the iPhone5 the 8pin interface is not compatible with active duty the standard interface of Apple's mobile devices (30pin) (codenamed Lighting).
Why Apple will launch braved the wrath of the risk of the user interface can not forward compatible? In this regard, the founder Kyle Wiens of iFixit that Apple's new interface is not just reduce the size of the problem, which lurked Apple's future product strategy.
Wiens
First Apple iPhone5 in the new interface, one of the benefits of seeing
is the addition of a new selling point, after all, Lighting interface
is 80% smaller than the original interface, regardless of the front and
back (which is Apple dare to use them very aspects another example of departure the subversion industry rules from the user experience).
"But
the narrow interface size is not the primary purpose of the
introduction of Lighting 8-pin interface Apple, Apple did so to prepare
for the future of the Apple product line." Wiens said: "You look at the
iPod Nano, 30-pin interface has
become the biggest obstacle to Apple further narrow the Nano size.
"(You always can not put equipment do than the interface is still
small!)
In
fact, in the selection of the interface, Apple is also no shortage of
bold move, the 2008 launch of the MacBook Air, Apple abandoned the body
of Ethernet cable interface support RJ45 network port (via adapter
cable), had not yet a notebook The computer makers dare to do so. Finally, to prove With the popularity of Wi-Fi, cable really is not indispensable for consumers.
But
the Apple iPhone5 on using the new interface is the subversion of its
own interface standard, which is nothing more than the Apple design
aesthetic need, because the new interface means of the ecology of the
entire Apple mobile products, including the iPod, iTouch, iPhone The system should be moving along. As we all know, Apple mobile accessories market scale up to billions of dollars.
30-pin
interface for computer equipment for the number of needles too, Apple
has become attached to this interface parts suppliers are easily made
compatible with this interface peripherals products, first iPod
peripherals, then iPhone and iPad .
"Wiens said," but the new 8-pin interface marks Apple completely from
analog to digital mixing stage transition to a pure digital stage. "
But Apple Why not use a smaller size, the more popular Micro USB interface (the European standard) it? The Wiens think Apple do to enhance control over the product ecosystem and squeeze more profits.
Introduced a new interface means that a sum of new revenue, which like to dig up the highway rebuilt. Those Apple ecosystem of peripherals / accessories manufacturers will pay a lot of new interface Apple licensing fees. Typically,
these vendors each selling an iPod, iPhone or iPad peripherals
equipment, the 1-2 dollars interface licensing fees are required to pay
Apple.
Apple
such a company of extremely strong desire for the product in the future
have a clear plan, through the implementation of the new interface,
Apple will re-establish an access threshold to reshuffle ecosystem.
Although
we do not yet understand how Apple Lighting new interface performance
artists, but one thing is unmistakable, with Apple abandoned the
ubiquitous 30-pin interface, there will be a flood of global "white"
e-waste generated.
According to rumors iPhone5 will be released in September and October, if the the iPhone5 phone camera pixels can be further enhanced, then the following Xiaobian can be said is quite worthy start, when the degree of resolution of mobile phone camera to camera comparable to thewhen burning can not afford the SLR has more options.
Looks like a phone camera, at least it does not have that look of wide-angle macro lens. Just a rubber wristband fitted with a small lens, use, simply glue trap the strap on the phone, the camera attached to the cell phone camera position, you can heart to shoot some macro photos. When not in use is also very simple to take down and then wear back wrist to get away. Do not take a cloud. The iPhone5 listed, went to take pictures with your cell phone.
