"iPhone sends GPS coordinates, wifi mac address, cell tower ids, and IP address to the mothership." Apple does collect this kind of data, but they don't sell it (and especially not to Google). The Maps app on the iPhone doesn't send this data to Google either. Apple built the Maps app themselves, they only use Google's map data. It's in Apple's interest to keep the data they've collected to themselves, they're using it to build an alternative to Google Maps.
