Maps will never be as good as Google maps for the simple fact that apple not only came to the party late but isn't as intrusive as Google is with data. Its one of the things that separates the watches for me, Android Wear just makes so much more sense due to the deep Google Now integration.
A few thing's I was surprised about coming out of the event.
-I'm surprised that Beats Music hasn't been pushed more in its marketing or even rebranded.
-Yo Apple **** U2, make Dr.Dre's only job to be finishing and releasing detox.
-I'm surprised the 5c didn't get a upgrade at least taking the 5S inards, touch ID and nfc and putting it in a 5C case.
It seems like most of my apple heavy friends are already prepping to upgrade even if its backorded.
rumor mill time.
The Apple Watch Edition model will cost around $1,200 when it releases.
