MAD Magazine pokes fun at Apple’s iOS 6 debacle: “Now using Apple Maps”

Who knew that after 60 years, MAD Magazine would still be pumping out topical bits of satire? Moving into the digital age in a flourish (there’s a new MAD Beta blog and everything), the company drew up a fake copy of the New Yorker magazine, mapped with new iOS 6 app.

The controversy surrounding the new iOS 6 Maps app has subsided a little since the September 21st release of the iPhone 5, and last week’s confession and apology by Apple’s CEO Tim Cook that, indeed, the application was not up to Apple’s high standards.

Still, it’s nothing the company hasn’t had to weather before. MAD Magazine, and many other mainstream publications, reporting in one way or another on the controversy shows just how mainstream smartphones like the iPhone 5 have become.
