- Zakuzaa 16y agoIf that happens, it will be a loss for Google. Bing Maps will do fine. Bing search will do fine for a large percentage of users. Youtube will be missed but its web app is pretty good now.
- moultano 16y agoI'm amazed that the iPhone is still a contender without free turn-by-turn navigation. That and internet access are the only thing I use my phone for.
- ergo98 16y ago>Bing Maps will do fine. Bing search will do fine for a large percentage of users. Assumptions that Microsoft is cozy with Apple are flawed. Microsoft is more at risk from Apple than they are with Google
- Zakuzaa 16y agoI agree but why would microsoft not grab the chance to get the bing and maps to millions of people in one go? War at the PC vs Mac/iPad front is a different thing, IMO.
- joe_the_user 16y agoI would assume that blocking Apple would mean both removing iPhone app and blocking iPhones from all Google sites. In fact, if Apple were stripping out Google ads (as per some rumblings), Google would have a basis to demand that all it's affiliates stop serving to iPhones as well. War would be hell at that point. Probably some lawsuits in the making.
- moolave 16y agoThen maybe Apple can find another Youtube and Google Maps provider. Question is: will the branding stuck in our minds supersede what Apple's route to alternatives entail? All theoretical, nonetheless.
