    Default Apple & Google Break Up? No iPhone Maps?

    News has surfaced that Apple may no longer be utilising Googles Maps features on the iPhones. This may be bad news for many iPhone users, as they use the Google Maps daily.

    Apple has reportedly bought company Placebase, who creates their own maps. This means Apple would be able to implement a map app, here at MozyMac we hope that the map app would be more versatile then the Google counterpart.

    It is not sure why Apple and Google may be separating, PC World speculates that the Google Maps app is not versatile for the features that Apple would like to use.
