The complete fallout from Apple's failed attempt to commandeer the iOS mapping app market is apparently still being felt throughout the company. After a public apology from CEO Tim Cook, and the exit of iOS chief Scott Forstall, it seems Maps manager Richard Williamson is the latest casualty.

Williamson guided the Maps team, but the native app failed to meet expectations, and has remained an ugly mark on an otherwise well-received iPhone 5 launch. According to sources speaking with Bloomberg, newly appointed senior vice-president Eddy Cue has decided to hand Williamson a pink slip.

Last month, senior vice-president of iOS software Scott Forstall and retail lead John Browett departed Apple in an executive shake-up. Allegedly, Forstall refused to sign an apology letter for the failed iOS 6 Maps, and was subsequently demoted to "advisor" until he formally exits the company. 

Obviously, Cue is hoping to get Apple's mapping department back on track, but despite the removal of Williamson, Apple has not yet made a decision on who will now lead the group. One Bloomberg source claimed Cue is searching for "a new leadership team" for the Maps group.

Apple has yet to make a formal announcement, or comment on the situation.

Back in September, Cue announced the major changes coming to iTunes 11. The redesign was due out in October, but has since been pushed to later this month. Note: there are only a few days left in the month of November.
