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@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.

@danielpunkass@StephenFleming It seems unlikely to me that Google forced Apple’s hand given that the Google Maps app isn’t ready yet. -
@mjtsai@StephenFleming Hard to say. Maybe it’s ready but not approved. Maybe not submitted. Maybe Google wants to swoop in to the rescue.
