    So what about "retina_gallery_5 through a lot higher number" all of which also did not make the cut?



    Anybody try?



    Remember that scene in Jurassic Park when they eliminated the population check stopping at the expected total and all those other dino's appeared? No reason to think the numbering stopped at 4: perhaps that's just the highest number chosen for the final cut.

    I think Apple showing Vimeo as the example of a video uploader website, rather than YouTube, was far more telling.

    Salient point. Apple also includes Vimeo throughout ML but not YouTube.

    I followed the link and guess what? Apple is showcasing a Maps side by side with a loupe.



    Nothing to read here people.

    I see iBooks, Mail, and Photos. Not Maps. Where do you see Maps?



    Interesting. Does everyone else see the picture highlighting the back camera animate? It doesn't animate for me, but there are 107 JPG images loaded in the page that show it should be animating.

    In the Maps section of http://www.apple.com/ipad/built-in-apps/ Google Maps gets its feature. Have a look!

    Pretty sure the Maps.app comparison was live earlier. They've only removed it later. On the German site I've never seen all four examples, though.

    From what I've checked, the Canadian, Australian, Hong Kong websites still have Google maps as a feature. The UK, French and USA websites don't. I wouldn't be surprised if Apple were creating their own mapping solution for these markets first.

    I don't see books, mail and photo... I see maps.



    I am looking on an iPad.

    The site on the iPad has an extra comparison loupe that the regular website doesn't?
