We all know Apple Maps sucks whereas iPhone 5 continues breaking records, the new reports that iPhone 5 exceeds 5 millions sales in one week. We can leave this part of chine consumer complain.
According to The Wall Street Journal, When customers in China attempt to look at other countries in street-detail mode, the maps outside China lack features such as landmarks and public transit stops. The Chinese maps also don’t include functions available on Apple’s international mapping software such as spoken driving directions or the 3-D flyover technology that Apple has developed for several cities. The Chinese maps do provide written driving directions to get from one place to another.
If customers in China turn on the satellite image feature or layer road and place names on top of the satellite image, they can only see China, while the rest of the world is left black.
