>> Honestly, I think Apple is wasting resources at competing with other companies by providing mediocre solutions.

The fact that Apple Maps exists forces Google to dedicate resources towards keeping Google Maps decent on Apple's platform. Competition is good, even if you don't use the competing product.

Sure, competition is good for the consumer.

But is it good for Apple to keep investing resources in something that will most likely never be as good as the competition?
