Apple says goodbye to Google
Summary
Apple is replacing Google Maps with its own proprietary Map app in iOS 6, a significant platform shift announced at WWDC. This new mapping solution integrates Siri for voice navigation, offers real-time traffic updates with alternate routes, and includes a 3D Flyover feature for interactive views. The strategic move highlights Apple's ongoing effort to build its own ecosystem and reduce dependence on third-party services, mirroring its earlier decision regarding Adobe Flash. This trend suggests a continued focus on first-party solutions within Apple's product offerings.
In iOS6, Apple ruled out Google map, they are saying goodbye to Google. This new Map app integrated with Siri will have voice navigation feature. This means people can receive real time traffic update and the map can offer alternate routes. Also, it will be a 3D map having a feature Flyover which will provide interactive 3D views. These 3D images have been taken through helicopters.
Ironically, just a few days ago, Google also released their new Google 3D Map, people can swoop and fly through replicas which are exact-with even trees getting the 3D treatment. Google is also planning to introduce offline support to Google maps.
To be honest, the features in the new Google map looks great. But we don't know what's Google's feeling after they know Apple will rule Google map out of iOS6. Apple builds its own kingdom by build their own products and services. We can imagine in the future more and more Apple service will present and more and more Google service will be ruled out of Apple's products. Actually, prior to Google, Adobe also has similar fate. Now Apple doesn't support Adobe Flash on their devices such as iPad and iPhone. Will Google be the next Adobe in Apple's kingdom?

Actually, Google maps will be available on iPhone, as will Google - the reverse is true as Apple can not BLOCK people from using google on their phone, but they can BLOCK other people from installing it on Android - get your facts straight, learn to speak English, and get over Apple - they are shit, no one is using them anyone more except the most retarded.
Fuck Apple!
yeah, fuck apple
