> Unlikely. Apple does not have search, and they simply need the best search available for their devices to stay true to being "premium".

That being said, how did Apple Maps turn out vs Google Maps?

Apple Maps really has improved, and they just rolled out a huge map tile quality improvement to get denser displays (the “closer to google” argument).

With recent quality improvements I take Apple Maps over google maps grand majority of time (well in pre-lockdown life). It took a while but I think its finally working out genuinely well now.

Best is subjective, and Apple Maps UI is leagues ahead of Google Maps in my experience. Accuracy is improving over time.
