What do apple gain by ditching google? can someone explain it please? |
As someone above me said, money. But there was also more to it than that. Apple was getting Google Maps upgrades after Android. 3D rendering was one of the big ones... It didn't hit iOS for months until after it had been thoroughly "tested" on Android. Turn-by-turn directions was another big issue for Apple. By using a competitor's service that their competitor is using to prop up their own platform, Apple was putting themselves into a bit of a bind that wouldn't have played out well over the long-term. Without having some control over one of the major features on their platform, they were completely at the mercy of Google to roll out upgrades to the service.

I see. I don't use maps at all, I probably never launched the maps app lol, that's why I have no idea what most of these problems about.
