I don't think Maps is anywhere near as profitable as search.

That’s true, but it doesn’t mean Apple won’t or can’t do the same thing with search as they did maps. Maybe they will, maybe they won’t, but they do have a track record of doing right by their users.

BTW their maps revenue from Google was a bigger share of total revenue when they gave it up than their search revenue is now.
