    Me and the OL has gone everywhere with Apples maps with no problems

    If you don't know how to operate a GPS and you don't have a general idea where you are going and you just follow it you need to be driven down in the woods.
    YOu got to have a little common sense to get around in the world

    I got around quite nicely long before GPS and smart phones were commercially viable. I run an Android so there's no issue for me..just that some folks were not happy with apple maps..now that is a non issue and good on whoever at apple deciding that their map system wasn't ready for prime time.

    People are people. They want to cry cause they got a problem
    The whole time that apple put their maps on the phone. You could download MapQuest maps, google maps or whatever.
    Where ever you go some people wants to find a problem with apple products

    I've had 4 Iphones. The are the best phones I've ever had
    The Iphone 5 is the best of all of them.
    I can git on my banking account on my Iphone and pay a bill and not worry cause it is a very secure network.
    The new LTE network is super great.

    Sweet! I would like a 5 but I've spent a butt load of money on accessories for my 4s including my lifeproof case and bike mount. Don't see myself spending for all the accessories on a new phone until I need it, or I just get bored with my 4S :p

    I had the Iphone 4S with a morphine juice pack and all. Gave it to the wife. upgraded to the Iphone 5. It was well worth the upgrade.
    They don't have LTE here where I live. But the phone operates faster
    Had the OL at a Harley dealer and let her play on my iphone 5 and it was on the LTE network. Left her while I was with some people at the dealership and came back
    She said her phone ain't fun anymore.
    You touch maps and its loaded at the blink of he eye.
    YOu ask siri for something and its done fast.
    Her 4s had been loading maps for 20 seconds before she could do anything.
    My nephew had a 4S and he just got a 5

    My neighbor just upgraded for him and his Ol
    He said man I love the 5 and I got all kinds of stuff for the 4 to operate on my bike and a stereo player for the 4
