Apple No Longer Saying Its Maps Are 'The Most Powerful'
An Apple iPhone 5 map application, utilising the new iO6 software, shows two sets of the disputed islands in the East China Sea, known as the Senkaku islands in Japan and claimed by Beijing under the name Diaoyu, in Hong Kong on September 22, 2012. Apple's new iPhone 5 may have been criticised for its glitch-ridden new maps program, but it may have inadvertently provided a diplomatic solution to China and Japan's ongoing row over disputed islands. When a user searches for the Tokyo-controlled Senkaku islands in the East China Sea, claimed by Beijing under the name Diaoyu, two sets of the islands appear alongside each other.
