Pretty crazy how Apple Maps has outclassed Google maps in many capacities (note I didn't say EVERY capacity - but many) in such a short amount of time, while this is one of Google's key products and they had a massive head start. Google maps still has a POI advantage, but in my usage Apple maps is superior in every single other category. Usability, performance, map quality, aesthetics, sound quality, interface, smoothness of turn by turn, etc. I rely on it daily and I can't remember the last time it failed me. Very impressive work. The new in-house mapping data Apple now uses is gonna pay massive dividends. 

Completely agree with you slurpy.

And in response to the other comment from someone who seems to have a lot of pent-up anger. I am not in San Francisco, not in California and not in America and Apple Maps is always my go to maps, navigation and direction app. It's by far the easiest to understand for turn-by-turn navigation compared to any other app I've used and I don't understand why people love to hate on it. 

And I completely agree with both of you. I'm in rural Australia and have had a great experience with Apple Maps as far as accuracy and ease of use.

Before swapping to Apple Maps I noticed Google Maps had the local Hospital located on the wrong side of town. Several blocks from it's actual location. I reported it to them and it took over a year before it was corrected. Fixing the location of a hospital should have been high on their list of issues.

When Apple Maps rolled out I noticed that the entry to the service road near my house was incorrect. I reported it and it was fixed within 2 weeks.

Google Maps definitely had more features than Apple Maps to begin with and these days there are features on both that the other is lacking. But for the most critical features I find Apple Maps more reliable. Add in the privacy and security benefits as well as the integration into the Apple ecosystem and it's the obvious choice for me. 

Really looking forward to the second season of Trying. The first season was fantastic!!

I gave up on Tile long before these claims being made by the CEO. So I can’t comment on if they have new issues now or not. But they had problems right from the start for me. They were useless when not near your own phone as very few people have the Tile app installed.

I have to agree a bit here with the Tile dude. After a few updates, my Tile were useless for the most part. And so I switched to the AirTags. Not impressed at all. I can hold the AirTag next to the phone and it tells me the signal is weak. WTF Apple. Anyway, maybe I’m holding it wrong. Tile has nothing to worry about if this is the best that Apple cans do. Queue the fanboy flamers…

🤣

So, it’s a slog. But, it’s a worthwhile slog? And strong performances “can’t save” the show, yet Justin Theroux “successfully carries the show”? 

This review is ALL over the place. 

I initially had no desire to watch this one, but this review changed my mind. Similar things were said about Ted Lasso after the first few episodes were released, and we all know how that turned out.

What ever happened to experiencing something without preconceptions or bias? I’m halfway through the first episode and enjoying it. Good production quality.

Yep, this review reads very much like their Ted Lasso review. Complaining that the premise of the show is no good based on their  preconceived ideas yet not being able to back that up with anything in the review.
