^^ that's exactly what happened. Anyone who thinks that Apple is just stupid is really stupid. Google licensed their maps for iOS and then released Android, with a superior version of Maps. Apple didn't like that the iOS Maps was inferior and the control over that quality depended on it's Biggest competitor. What do you do? You send them a flying cock and release your own version, that you can control. Now, it's pretty obvious that a good mapping solution is no easy task, Google is working on theirs for nearly a decade with lots and lots of user feedback, backed by a browser solution too, which probably has even more use than their mobile one. Apple just started a couple years ago, maybe 3. They have had no user feedback, and they don't have a browser version either (at least public). It's going to take time to get it right, it sucks to have it half baked right now, but they really had to cut the cord.

- maybe apple will buy waze (please!)!jaylarson
- if they cared about their users and not think of them as idiots who gobble everything, they would have paid licensing for another year or two while they built their own that doesn't suck. But no, they decided to take advantage of the fact that Apple consumers are dumb and will eat any shit Apple throws themmonolith
