Online video and Maps.
Markets that started before the iPhone and when Apple was collaborating very closely with Google.
Apple let Google win in those markets without opposition and then Google stabbed Apple in the back with Android.
Reminder that the original iOS versions had YouTube built in, and Google Maps.

Like, Apple created the entire blueprint for what the end user experience on mobile was supposed to be, and was happy for Google to supply the backend service and collect all the analytics and advertising revenue.
