[quote=spdrun]Google Maps will still be available as an app if you want it. This isn’t a reason to buy or not buy the iPhone.[/quote]
I wouldn’t say maps is a deal breaker. Although any third party app with maps will be forced to used the apple mapping solution. I think it’s just pretty clear Apple is trying to lock users into their eco-system and a regular upgrade cycle. Many users are ok with that and like it, but I personally don’t.
