The maps-gate, the problem of wrong maps for iPhone and iPad, which has unleashed so much irony among users, reaps an important victim, Richard Williamson, Software Manager, fired by new Apple vice president Eddy Cue, from little driving the development of Siri and precisely the Maps project.
Williamson, like Forstall before him, pays for low quality software, full of blunders and misinformation. A software that, moreover, was considered a nodal point of the war with Google, whose map program (Google Maps) had been undermined by Apple devices after five years.
The day after the launch of the application, the Ceo Tim Cook had publicly apologized for the maps contained in the new releaseand, an unprecedented event for Apple.
