Can't tilt MKMapkit map on Hybrid or Satellite view

I have a map in my iOS app, using MKMapKit. I am able to tilt the map (pitch) when it is on MKMapTypeStandard, but if I switch to MKMapTypeSatellite or MKMapTypeHybrid, I can no longer tilt. Tilt is available in the Maps App on all MKMapTypes. How can I enable it no matter what MKMapType?

-(void)layerSelect{
  mapIsStandard = !mapIsStandard;
  if(mapIsStandard){
    [_mapView setMapType:MKMapTypeStandard];
  } else {
    [_mapView setMapType:MKMapTypeSatellite];
    _mapView.pitchEnabled = YES;
  }
}

Thank you for contacting Apple Developer Technical Support (DTS).

Excerpt from URL above: "If the map type is MKMapTypeSatellite or MKMapTypeHybrid, the pitch value is clamped to 0."

As of iOS 7.0.2, Apple only allows developers to use pitch on the standard view, so no 3D pictures of buildings for us yet. However, if you go to a large city such as New York, it will show 3D gray outlines of buildings in standard view.
