One lesson Cook should take from Jobs is to up his arrogance quotient when representing Apple. Jobs would never have apologized for Apple Maps; he would've blamed it on the road builders.  |
I don't really think that's the case, Steve is on record saying at a keynote, how can you trust us with icloud when we brought you mobileme, and he was under no pressure then to admit a mistake. Similar with the iphone debacle, which was as close to admitting a mistake as he could without completely ruining sales of the device.
Cook's problem wasn't in the apology, but that he let maps out of the door to begin with.
