Re:Apple is rebuilding Maps from the ground up by ChuckMcM on Friday June 29, 2018 @05:40PM (#17428055)
Apple makes phones, what are phones used for? Messaging, phone calls, maps, and cameras. Everything else is noise.

Of those four things, which has the most potential to monetize? Maps.

People look for restaurants, for gas, for hotels, for rentals, for real estate, Etc. All of those things are being offered by a vendor who would love to know when you're looking and would love to be able to put their pitch in front of you when you are.

Maps is to phones what the browser window is to laptops.
