Google didn’t try and raise the price, they demanded user data in exchange for access.

Anyway it was clear that Google got leverage out of the deal, for instance they wouldn’t allow navigation while it was available on Android, no vector maps while they were available on Android etc.

That was never going to work for Apple.

Good correction! Though I recall that negotiations broke down across both factors.
