TORONTO: Geography has again stumped Apple Inc, with the technology company mixing up and relocating both Canada’s largest city and its national capital on a map showing when different parts of the country can expect new iPhone deliveries.
Not only did Apple’s Canadian website misplace Toronto and Ottawa, it incorrectly placed Edmonton west of Calgary, and missed the apostrophe in St John’s, screen grabs from local media showed. The offending map was quickly removed.
The error prompted a new round of light-hearted digs at the Apple, which has a history of getting lost with its maps.
“You would think they could’ve asked Siri for help with that,” said Twitter user Jennifer Hoegg, referring to Apple’s voice-recognition software. Reuters
