Apple Maps fiasco claims iPhone vice president
by
•Scott Forstall |
The head of Apple’s iPhone and IPad Software Department has been fired for the embarrassing failure of the Apple Map Project. Scott Forstall, who has been with Apple since 1997, was let go this week after the September debacle related to Apple’s feud with Google over Android. The company kicked Google off its devices and tried to replace the mapping function with its own. It didn’t work. In the end, Apple was forced into a humiliating retreat and apology in which it advised iPhone and iPad users to go to Google where it they could to access maps. Forstall’s responsibilities will be divided among other Apple veterans such as Jony Ives, Eddy Cue, and Craig Federighi.
