Once again, I'm still trying to figure out how apple users can defend this. Yes, Google maps had this feature, but everytime I talk to apple users I'm always told they got their phone because "it just works!". But then I learn that features I consider basic at best are completely missing. If my iphone should "just work" I expect the features I want to exist without another app installation. Things on iphone only seem to work if you don't know anything better.
Out of curiosity, how often do you talk about smartphone choice? I’ve never once heard “it just works” in real life, nor have I really talked about what phone I use or why. It’s not a subject I’d purposefully avoid either.
Well it tends to come up for me because I'm the tech person around the house and at work, so phone and other device / software recommendations tend to come my way. I don't really care what phone you use, I ain't that much of a prick.
