Apple to ditch Google maps in iOS 6

Apple to ditch Google maps in iOS 6

It looks like the Google war will step up as Apple pushes out with its own mapping service this June

The Apple WWDC is just around the corner on June 11th and it looks like iOS 6 is making an appearnce, without Google Maps.

A source of 9to5mac has revealed that Apple is dumping Google Maps in favour of a faster, more stable version of its own. With Apple buying up mapping companies like C3, Poly9, and Placebase, it seems more than likely. We can also look forward to a super clear 3D mapping service if the photo below is anything to go by.

Expect iOS 6 to be announced at the Apple's WWDC on June 11th.
