What can I say, the problems under Jobs weren't as obvious. He was able to spin it.
Apple's maps application is just provably worse in terms of maps. Period. There is not much to spin there. It was obvious.
Apple shipped an iPhone without YouTube and without Maps. The whole set of decisions, including the form-factor, seems very un-Jobs-like.
However, owning up to the problem is something I applaud Cook for doing. Not only that, but look at what he suggests -- adding web apps to the desktop. Because he knows that once they fix the Maps app (by getting a better database), it will be superior to web apps!
Notice what Tim Cook did not say: download the alternative APPLICATIONS. Are there any?
