Selecting out one single application among hundreds is just nitpicking. And while I certainly agree the mapping metadata in Maps was awful, at least Apple get out there and acknowledged the problem.

No hate, just reality check. Just as you think that apple apps should be put on a pedestal as the hallmark of all greatness, I think there are some that suck big time. And the UI leaves a lot to be desired (a tape recorder for the podcast app? When did you last see a tape recorder, the 80s?)
They only acknowledged the problem after the backlash they got. Remind me how they acknowledged the antenna problem? Yes, "you're holding it wrong". They eventually got to pay some compensation money for the fiasco, but it was years after the fact. Acknowledging problems has never been an apple thing, it's always the consumer who doesn't understand or doesn't know how to use the product, because the product is just perfect, right? Although with Cook they seem to be a tad more down to Earth, there's still a long way to go.
