You know, your free ride on the Apple arrogance train needs to stop.
This company has reinvented two cornerstone industries (and figured out a way to make a third category profitable in tablets), what exactly are they arrogant about? Success? Jobs
always thought he knew better than the average consumer about what they want. Nothing has changed - The difference now is that people expect them to reinvent an industry every quarter. Apple has had their shares of bad ideas too, they've never claimed they're perfect - That image is created by people like yourself that use it to build an argument. You'll hear them say 'It's the best phone we've ever made' - Which is about as textbook an example as you can find of marketing. Meanwhile Samsung is touting themselves as revolutionary because the screen is bigger... And it's all hail Android.
When Google introduced their maps, it was full of bugs and holes, it's now an amazing piece of software that soon will be available in the App Store, just like 100,000's of other apps. Apple decided they want to give their users a different experience with maps, and make it in-house... What's wrong with that?
It's nothing short of comical how quickly people love to jump on a successful company and champion a problem as if they themselves are winning because of it.
This ad is a perfect example of Apple thinking they know better. They've always left it up to the consumer to decide.
