Also first Google maps for IOS were created in collaboration between Google and Apple, where Apple provided it's design power and Google provided technology. I think Google didn't want to collaborate with Apple for future google maps so they break apart.
From 2012. Wasn't apple maps a huge dumpster fire back then?
Can’t speak to back then since I just got my first iPhone but I might like Maps more than Waze and certainly more that googles maps.
