Apple's confused geography gives Canadians a laugh
Digital Reporter
Friday, September 12, 2014, 12:52 PM - Apple may know technology, but seems to be a little confused when it comes to Canadian geography.
"Consumers who hit Apple.ca to pre-order one of the company's new iPhones and clicked on a link about delivery timelines saw an error-riddled map of Canada," The Canadian Press reports. "Apple appeared to have mixed up the nation's capital and Ontario's capital, and placed Ottawa roughly where Toronto should be on the map."
Edmonton is also shown to the west of Calgary, instead of northeast and St. John's, Newfoundland is missing its apostrophe.

Although a comment from Apple was not immediately available, that didn't stop the Twitterverse from commentary of its own.
