Mapquest is currently #1 in the App Store maps and navigation category, simply due to the fact that they name bodies of water correctly. Ternus has a real opportunity to cement a “new sheriff in town” moment by standing up to insanity and following the sane naming convention too. It would generate publicity and earn brand cachet.

I had high hopes that he would return Apple to a customer-focused mindset, instead of capitulating to dictators, we shall see I guess.

    Well my point is, they could use this as a battle line against the fascists. Help galvanize support against them by showing us that they aren’t putting up with his shit.

      Why on earth would you ever think corporations, who exist at the whim of politicians, to battle against those politicians?

      The fascists already won when all of the dipshits decided that sitting on their lazy asses at home was more important than voting, and that they were absolutely fine with Trump winning, even after seeing everything he promised to do.

      Why would, or even why should, Apple care enough to jeopardize a $5 Trillion company when the toddler in chief decides to target them specifically over it, when the American people don’t even care enough to leave their damn couches?

        They used to refuse access to people’s private when the govt/law enforcement requested it unnecessarily. They are supposed to be the customer-centric company who doesn’t have government contracts. Steve famously contributed to progressive causes.
