Personally I could care less. Accurate maps is all I want. Everybody complains that IOS should ditch Google because they are paying to use their maps. UH, do you think what they are going to have to bake in is going to be FREE?

Yet Android has had it since 2010!

I am sure though that once Apple announces this, they too just invented it.

I prefer for Android and Apple to have their own software ecosystem, this will help set apart the two. But I will say that they have to come out with something pretty impressive for Google’s already baked Maps, or else all the iPhone users will be up in arms! Oh who are we kidding if Apple says their maps are amazing, they will buy it!
