@danielpunkass I agree with the first part. Second part doesn’t seem to be very true, especially with iOS.
I think Apple will welcome a Google Maps app on iOS. Apple’s app is about independence and opportunity for long-term UX innovations.

@mjtsai There are already real innovations in there that people like. It’s a 1.0. You know Apple can do well on features they care about. - View other replies

@danielpunkass I agree that they *can*. But they had something 5.x that was very good and threw it away in favor of a very rough 1.0. -
@mjtsai@danielpunkass The problem is that they (Apple) DIDN’T have it. Google had it. Pain now, or pay later. -
@StephenFleming@mjtsai But if Google would have been game to provide another year or two of bundled service, mabe Apple should have waited. - View other replies

@danielpunkass@StephenFleming Unless you subscribe to the theory that Google wants to withhold their maps entirely for competitive reasons. - View other replies

@mjtsai@danielpunkass I don’t think Google withheld “maps”. Instead, specific features like vector graphic tiles and turn-by-turn. - View other replies

@danielpunkass I agree on both points – the backlash for a rejection would not be worth the bad press either -
@danielpunkass it would be nice if they finished it first though -
@danielpunkass agreed. Aside from which, rejecting it would lead down the anti-trust route. -
@danielpunkass Apple said that Google is welcome to create and release their own app.
