said by HiVolt:said by decx:However, given that a potential Google Maps app would be replicating Apple Map's function, Apple might no allow it onto the App Store.
That shit should be challenged in court... Just because Apple has a built in function, that it can't be made better by another company...
And clearly the Apple Maps are inferior...
Thing is if Apple tried that they'd be blown out of the water so quickly, not even an iYacht could save them.
To wit:
Apple provides a weather app on the iPhone but allows several other (and far better) weather apps on the phone as well (I've never used the Apple weather app)
If they were to suddenly turn around and block Google maps claiming that it brought them harm while continuing to offer competing apps for other Apple provided apps?
Cue the Apple sauce
