Apple to Drop Google Maps In iOS 6
May 11th, 20129to5Mac reports that Apple will drop Google Maps in iOS 6.
It was only a question of when. This won’t be easy, though—Apple’s maps and directions must be really, really good, or this is going to create a lot of issues for users. Imagine using the Maps application when its maps and directions are worse than Google Maps.
But it makes sense. Apple doesn’t want to be beholden to another company—especially a direct competitor—for something so integral to their devices.
