All very good, but it would have a beneficial impact on more Japanese if AJ would pull its pants up and link the transit data for Japan's major cities of Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya, and the prefectural capitals, into Apple Maps someday before the 2020 Tok…

I said FOUR or 5 years. Also how long has Google Maps been around in Japan?
-
At last. I wonder if it is too late though. Google Maps with transit has been eating Apple's breakfast, lunch, and dinner here for 4 or 5 years.

There are a lot of good ideas in this article but the Japanese shaken example does not hold water for iPhones in Japan because the vast majority (99.9%) sold before the 6s are locked to the Japanese carriers who refuse (in my view illegally) to unlo…

I hope the guys in Hyderabad or Bengaluru scrape some data for transit systems in Tokyo—it's the Olympics city for 2020 and we still have no transit directions in Maps! And for the most part, flyover is a complete gimmick when trying to navigate a c…

So Tokyo has 4 more years to wait for transit directions? Aaaaaarrgggggghhh.

US only. Apple still treats rest of world as second-class citizens in this and other regards.

Wot? No Tokyo? Perhaps Apple Japan could get round to this by the 2020 Tokyo Olympics? In the meantime, I'll use Google Maps, which is still MUCH better than Maps. C'mon Apple—Google is eating your lunch over this.
-
And still no Tokyo—one of the world's largest cities with the most extensive public transit and the data is pretty much all open sourced too. What is Apple Japan doing with its time, other than overcharging for the iPhone SE? There's an Olympics com…

MAPS would a be a sight more useful with TRANSIT DIRECTIONS for major Japanese cities like Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya.

I have an old 5 and have been jonesing for the SE, but NOT at the price Apple wants in Japan (and the rest of the world it seems).Here, BEFORE adding the government's 8% consumption tax, the base price is 52,800 yen or US$470 at today's rate. That'…

I'd just like Transit for Tokyo. World's best city for public transport and Maps doesn't display any transit information! The data are open and there are iOS Apps that can pull transit directions so why can't Apple Japan get it together and scrape …

Pity this scheme is US only—we could do with it in Japan where the carriers have long had a stranglehold on locked phones, although the government has just recently forced them to grudgingly unlock after 6 months into a 2-year contract. Unlocked pho…

I'd be happy, if just the Plex app was in the TV App store right from the start. Soon to be followed by the BBC iPlayer app.

Shipping in which countries?

You mean like the BBC as one example? I have been nagging them for at least a year to dump this PoS but....

All great but when a customer sends a complex docx or pptx file with multiple tables in Japanese for translation, conversions to and from Pages and Keynote just don't handle it well. All sorts of double-byte font conversion and page layout issues…

Getting back to Office 2016 for a moment, after 3 months beta testing, my problem is that it is still loaded with serious unfixed bugs. Some examples: 1. Try find Advanced find and replace in Word and watch the double inserts in the left sub-scree…
