Apple goose stepping away

Hobbes_Dent@lemmy.world on 12 Feb 2025 07:05 next collapse

I’m gone from the ecosystem for this. Been standing up for the products since Apple II.

This is your shame:

Come join !organicmaps@sopuli.xyz

I will be buying fairphone, framework and pinetime instead of Apple stuff.

I miss when modular phones were almost a thing, then google bought them and scrapped them

heavydust@sh.itjust.works on 12 Feb 2025 08:09 collapse

Same here. They pushed more and more privacy-invasive features without the user’s consent, Tim is sucking Trump’s dick, and they went crazy with their shitty AI. I used to buy refurbished iPhone because it was good and cheap, but there is no reason for me to stay now if it’s the same crap as Google in a prettier package. Fairphone it is.

Can we report incorrect data until they fix it?

Edit: yup, easy process.

Sunshine@lemmy.ca on 12 Feb 2025 07:44 next collapse

Apple doesn’t listen to feedback much.

astrsk@fedia.io on 12 Feb 2025 08:00 next collapse

Ah, yeah, we shouldn’t try then.

ClassifiedPancake@discuss.tchncs.de on 12 Feb 2025 08:44 collapse

They have been correcting all my map reports pretty consistently. But I’m suspecting this one will be different.

Oiselarius@dice.camp on 12 Feb 2025 09:22 next collapse

@ClassifiedPancake @Sunshine @apple_enthusiast I’ve tried to report it and haven’t found a way through their category questions to say something, particularly a natural geographical feature, is mislabeled, only that some location is missing from the maps.

Oiselarius@dice.camp on 12 Feb 2025 09:26 collapse

@ClassifiedPancake @Sunshine @apple_enthusiast they really, really need to ditch Cook and get back to their roots.

ClassifiedPancake@discuss.tchncs.de on 12 Feb 2025 10:29 collapse

I don’t believe Apple will ever go back to that. They have become too big.

allywilson@lemmy.ml on 12 Feb 2025 07:45 next collapse

I just left a review for it on Google Maps claiming it’s the best Mexican Gulf.

tyler@programming.dev on 12 Feb 2025 07:48 next collapse

I did.

I like your style.

B0rax@feddit.org on 12 Feb 2025 07:47 next collapse

Same as google…

TrickDacy@lemmy.world on 12 Feb 2025 07:57 next collapse

Fuck apple

Ace_CLE@lemmy.world on 12 Feb 2025 11:26 collapse

All of them. They all changed it because of the NGIS data was changed. The name change for Denali back to Mountain McKinley is coming. This just highlights the need for FOSS alternatives in software.

Why the global rollout if the rest of the world doesn’t agree with the change? Just to please Trump?

Amerikans are salivating at the idea of appeasing their new dictator and vice dictator. Every company is lining up to show fealty.

I removed Google Maps when they did this, now I’m going to not want to use Apple Maps… guess I’ll be trying Organic Maps a shot. Anyone have experience or recommendations for others?

rikyu@sopuli.xyz on 12 Feb 2025 12:20 next collapse

Organic Maps is what you should’ve been using already.

v3ritas@infosec.pub on 13 Feb 20:59 next collapse

You’re right. It’s definitely long overdue to be using Organic.

Grunt4019@lemm.ee on 14 Feb 03:59 collapse

What do you do if you want traffic info?

thynecaptain@lemmy.world on 12 Feb 21:58 collapse

Organic I’ve been using today. I like it a lot, only downside I have is barely an issue which is for CarPlay it doesn’t allow a Split View on the CarPlay home screen only when the app is open instead. Nonetheless it’s great

v3ritas@infosec.pub on 13 Feb 21:00 collapse

It works well enough for turn-by-turn? Any of the other features I could take or leave, just need the direction part because I have no sense of direction 🙃

thynecaptain@lemmy.world on 13 Feb 22:29 collapse

Turn by turn was solid after a few days of use now. I like it

v3ritas@infosec.pub on 14 Feb 03:23 collapse

Thanks! I’ll be giving it a shot soon, to get used to it.

some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org on 12 Feb 21:58 next collapse

Google was geofencing this to USA devices. Tim Apple, I used to like you. But you’re a fucking bitch.

cabillaud@lemmy.world on 13 Feb 21:18 next collapse

This reminds me of the freedom fries. Excepted that they weren’t so successful with the freedom fries.

NotSteve_@lemmy.ca on 14 Feb 00:08 collapse

Thank god they didn’t pull a Google and it’s still Gulf of Mexico outside the US. Don’t give me that (Gulf of America) BS

Edit: I’m an idiot and didn’t read the full title. Wtf?
