Apple CEO Tim Cook made a public apology for the new Maps App in iOS6.

Since the map has been built from ground up, it will take a while to integrate all the features and commitment to its customers.

Quote
At Apple, we strive to make world-class products that deliver the best experience possible to our customers. With the launch of our new Maps last week, we fell short on this commitment. We are extremely sorry for the frustration this has caused our customers and we are doing everything we can to make Maps better.

As they had 1 more year contract left with Google, they should have released their own maps app with beta tag keeping the Google maps intact. Win for both sides.

Agreed, this is a late apology....but at least being a CEO of world biggest company he apologized with public and that's something which need appreciation.
