Will apple make downgrade to IOS 5.1 available, IOS 6 too buggy to tolerate?

An option to reload IOS 5.1 should be made available if Apple wants customer satisfaction. IOS 6 is not stable enough. Apps crashing, wifi problems, battery life, oh yeah no satellite view in weather apps purchased. Not to mention how bad the new maps are! Come on Apple throw us a bone!

iOS 6 works perfectly fine for me.
Regarding your maps issue,
Apple is constantly working on improving their new Maps service, but until it reaches the level of finesse necessary to be usable, take a look at some alternatives.
If you would like to send a suggestion to Apple, please go to http://www.apple.com/feedback or you can Report a Problem via the Maps app by tapping the bottom right.
Bing Maps offers a very good maps service with Bird's Eye, a feature similar to Flyover. It's arguably better than Google Maps.

You can use Google Maps by creating a shortcut to the Home Screen with help from the article below.

MapQuest also has a very nice app available.

Nokia Maps is another great service that you can add to your Home Screen via a web shortcut.

Waze is another very well reviewed app.

  • HT1414 Will apple make ios 7 for ipod 4g?

    Will apple make ios7 for ipod touch 4g?

    All the iOS devices compatible (iPhone 4 and later, iPad 2 and later, and 5G iPod touch) with iOS 7 have at least 512 MB of memory. The 4G only has 256 MB

  • Will Apple make a desktop app for Beats Music?

    Will Apple make a desktop app (OS X) for Beats Music? Seems to make sense. Can Apple make THAT kind of  decision, now that the deal is done? I would love to use it when on my MBP.

    What apple will probably do is embed the streaming service into iTunes but no one really knows what will happen, or if they are going to keep the beats name for the service. They're rumors saying that apple will put beats on all iOS devices in the next iOS update so I guess we will see how they incorporate the service into their services.

  • Will apple make newsstand a removable app in iOS6

    When will apple make the newsstand app removable like iBooks? Not everyone wants or needs it, I like iBooks but don't want newsstand & it's embeded into iOS 5 taking up spae i could use for something I do want there.

    taking up spae i could use for something I do want there.
    Since there is room for >2200 other apps on the home screen, how is that statement meaningful?

  • When will Apple allow downgrading for any of their devices?

    I have the iPhone 4S, the phone came pre-installed with iOS 6 and I really liked the design of iOS 6.
    So, last year when iOS 7 was released to the public I did not like the look of it and I also didn't wanted to update to iOS 7.
    Then, on the day iOS 7 was released, I put my phone to charge at night and the very next day I see the phone updated to iOS 7 without my consent, by the way, I did not tap "Download", the previous day.
    I hate iOS 7, because of it's design and the animation (I know that you can turn off the animation in the "Settings" app).
    So, when will Apple allow downgrading?

    Since Apple doesn't typically publicize decisions such as this in advance, no one here can tell you that.
    However, based on past history, never would be a good guess.

  • So when will Apple release their own iOS file browser built into the OS? No third parties apps....

    iOS devices should have a native file brower app built into the OS... (It's hard to believe that Apple iOS devices can't read files from a Apple Time Capsule, right out of the box.) A iOS Finder should be preinstalled on all iOS devices. This is one feature that all other OS such as Android, BlackBerry, and Windows Mobile have preinstalled on their own devices. So when will Apple release their own iOS file browser built into the OS? Please do not over look this request...

    "This is one feature that all other OS such as Android, BlackBerry and Windows Mobile have pre-installed. . ."
    Which is why those devices don't outsell; not as popular; or as desirable as Apple's iDevices.

  • Will Apple make a iPhone 5 bumper?

    Will Apple make a new bumper for the iPhone 5?

    This Photive case is great! It has the same design as Apple's iPhone 4/4s bumper case. Glad somebody stepped in to fill the gap since Apple is not making one for the iPhone 5.

  • When will Apple make an ipad that lets you make and receive phone calls?

    When will Apple make an ipad that lets you make and receive phone calls?

    The iphone is too small for me to use for the internet (maybe it's my age)-- especially for Facebook--where I am a Page Administrator, but the mini ipad would be just right for both phone and internet. I'll bet they make a new ipad able to make and receive phone calls right after I buy the current one.

    No one would know until/unless Apple announces.

  • Will Apple make a smaller iPhone?  The 6 is too big...

    WIll Apple make a smaller iPhone?  The 6 is not ideal from me.  I need a phone with:
    - same screen size as the 5 -- or even the 4
    - Much longer battery life -- even if tha means a heavier, thicker phone

    The size of the 5 is ideal. If they could only make it thinner and improve the battery-life...
    And if only you would use the correct channel for feedback to Apple.  This forum is for user-to-user technical assistance, not for discussion of Apple's policies or procedures or to speculate about new product.

  • Will Apple make me pay for Pages 3 just to get the bugs out of 2?

    I'm another Pages 1 owner who is not happy with Apple's failure to produce a bug fix for Pages 1.
    It's fine to ask for more money for new features, but I don't like having to pay more just to get rid of the bugs they've known about since the beginning (the Tabs bug, as just one example).
    So if I swallow my frustration and buy v2, do you think Apple will produce any updates for fixing bugs in this version? Or will they make me wait another year and buy the software a third time?

    Pages' update policy has been argued to death a while back.
    It's probably not going to change, so maybe balance accounts against other options on the basis that this is going to be subscription software! Personally I find not so bad value at that, since other programs also become obsolete or get tired, or charge you more for an update than the cost of iWork anyway.
    As to your question about "bug fixes" - free updates might indeed be made available to fix up actual bugs. a Pages 1.0.1 must have been offerred somewhere along the line, and there was a Pages 1.0.2 just before Pages was released. If this happens with Pages 2, you will get it from software update.
    Wishlists about new features, or how the existing ones might be made to work better are not actual bugs. And often they reflect somewhat conflicting requirements. So Apple have to sift through these, work out a way to implement them - and most likely will be looking at another release before they get around to it.
    For AU$119 a year - make sure you get the best value by putting in feedback to Apple (Pages main menu, Provide Pages Feedback). Or consider what the Applestore salesman told me when I asked about iLife '06, which I would be unlikely to use enough to stretch what it does. Just get every second new version, he said. So that's $59.50 a year. You pays your money and you takes your choice. On the other hand, in my opinion, Pages 2.0.1 really does owe Pages 2 users a thing or two - and I do hope Apple are getting on with it.
    Regards.

  • Will Apple make a 30-pin to lightning connector that will work with a case?

    Why did Apple make the 30-pin to lightning connector useless when you have a case on your iPhone 5/5s? The lightning connector part isn't long enough to fit inside when using Apple's own cases (i.e. the new leather cases for the 5s). Does anyone know if there are plans to correct this mistake and lengthen the connector?

    From the reviews on Apple's site, the cabled adaptor does NOT work with Apple's own case - the lightning plug is too fat :-(

  • Why won't apple make a special ios 7 for 4g ipod touch

    Im very disappointed in apple right now they had me all excited about ios and they never even tried to make it for ipod touch 4g. Is my ipod going to end up like the iPhone 3, and all the older stuff. If it does i will eventually switch over to microsoft and google.

    The hardware, as has been said here many times already, will not support iOS 7. Apple would have to strip so much out of iOS 7 to make it run effectively on a fourth-gen iPod touch that you would basically just have iOS 6 with different icons and fonts.
    As to switching to Microsoft and Google, by all means do so if you feel they'd serve you better, but Android and Windows Phone are far worse about supporting old hardware than Apple is with iOS, so check carefully before you buy.
    Regards.

  • When will Apple make Safari work properly?

    Does anybody know when Apple will get its very own built-in browser to work properly?
    Since 'upgrading' to Yosemite when it was released, Safari has been horrendous, locking up multiple times a day.
    Here's the latest...
    I have of course allowed my Mac to report each and every lock-up, so Apple knows about them.
    If anybody is able to understand the text below, does it give any hint of what I can do to make Safari work as it should? 
    All my software is from the App Store and all software is fully up to date.
    At this point Firefox is looking good...

    Hi Allan,
    Thanks for the reply, I've now had time to run EtreCheck, which I've copied below.
    Just a couple of notes - I've recently turned back on my two Safari extensions after leaving them off for a while to see if they made any difference.  They don't appear to.
    I've just had Mail Web Content hang as well as Safari (see below) - when I forced Safari to quit, Mail started working fine, so maybe a conflict there?
    Anyhow, here is the EtreCheck result - even I can see some processes running which don't need to (Matrox and others) so I'll endeavour to clean those up...
    Thanks again,
    Ian

  • Will Apple make an IPOD w/ CD player?

    I've been waiting to get an Ipod for a few years now, but I've been waiting for one that can play my CD's too. Does anybody know if Apple/Macintosh has plans to make a Ipod with a CD player, or if one exists already??

    Well I'm waiting for the iPod that has audio tape playback capability. I know it's a dream but an iPod that will play my favourte vinyls would be a dream come true.
    Now if one also gave me betamax...well, I'd need to lie down in a dark cold room with my hands in boxing gloves.
