Sorry Steve, I was parodying the late Jesus Jobs and his iPhone antenna 
design screw up.

The original Apple Maps replaced Google Maps on Apple devices and it was 
dire. As MacRumours said "At launch, Apple Maps was heavily criticized 
for inaccuracies and errors, leading Tim Cook to apologize and promise 
to improve the service." That was in 2012.

Does anyone really think they have not been heavily improved in the last 
12 years?
