Well, the Google maps App is still not there on the Appstore so devices not shipping with it would not be able to use it as a native app, one can always access those using a browser but that would be hardly fun. (http://techcrunch.com/2012/09/20/crap-maps/). Secondly, even if it were to be there freely available ever, the fact that Apple maps were not comparable to google maps would still prevail and that the iPhone is not the ultimate phone with the best of all the world would also be evident. The question one would ask at some point is "Is Corporate Politics a higher priority than the Consumer?"

"Is Corporate Politics a higher priority than the Consumer?"<br><br>With respect, that question is rather naive. Corporations must have customers in order to serve them. Therefore, "corporate politics"...by which I assume you mean corporate competitive strategies and tactics are...for reasons of survival...the highest priority.<br><br><br>Google is, of course, an arch rival to AAPL in the smartphone space and AAPL would be foolish to "support" a competitor when it doesn't have too...and the record-breaking sales of the 5 is proof positive that it doesn't have to.<br><br>Mapping is just an app and one thing is beyond debate...that the Apple mapping app will get better...WAY better. <br><br>So, the pertinent question is not what AAPL has to fear from dropping Google Maps...but rather, what Google has to fear.<br>Respectfully,<br>Jim
