I think Apple will welcome a Google Maps app on iOS. Apple’s app is about independence and opportunity for long-term UX innovations.

@danielpunkass I agree with the first part. Second part doesn’t seem to be very true, especially with iOS.
Daniel Jalkut ‏@danielpunkass 20 Sep 2012

@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.
Michael Tsai ‏@mjtsai 20 Sep 2012

@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.
Daniel Jalkut ‏@danielpunkass 20 Sep 2012

@StephenFleming @mjtsai But if Google would have been game to provide another year or two of bundled service, mabe Apple should have waited.
Michael Tsai ‏@mjtsai 20 Sep 2012

@danielpunkass @StephenFleming Unless you subscribe to the theory that Google wants to withhold their maps entirely for competitive reasons.
John Gruber ‏@gruber 20 Sep 2012

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

@gruber @mjtsai Would you agree there’s little reason now for Google to fear strutting their stuff in a fully owned app?
