Apple should acquire Foursquare to compete at the Maps API level. Apple Maps uses Yelp for venue and Point Of Interest search. I'm in Vancouver and Yelp is OK but not great here. I'm told it's worse in places like Europe. On the other hand, Foursquare's venue and POI search is very good. There API is one of the best in the business. Their core API is great. They have a really good real-time & push API. The way that Aspects & Actions are designed for each of the Endpoints is very good, too. https://developer.foursquare.com/docs/ https://developer.foursquare.com/docs/ On top of this, Foursquare is a Scala/JVM shop. Apple is a Java/JVM shop. (And they may still be using the WebObjects for some older services.) Apple would get the added benefit of migrating to a modern stack and getting a really good technical team. Modernizing their stack and modernizing their web APIs would go a long way in fixing the "Apple doesn't get web services" problem.
