On: The Time I “Interviewed” At Apple

[rohansingh]

I actually don't think Maps is a good example. I'd argue that Apple wouldn't have taken such heat and criticism if they'd launch Maps as an independent app, worked to iterate and improve it, and then baked it into iOS as a Google Maps replacement when it was good and ready.

It's very likely that their hand was forced by Google's contract renewal.

Doesn't seem to change his point.

[YOSPOS → sejje]

It does if you think having an iPhone without a Maps app by default is unacceptable.
