Apple won't license software to third party interfaces and sacrifice design to expand market share. That's kind of their thing. Their brand. Their image. That's everything.
But as far as software updates go, why am I still not offered a built-in GPS app?! This is a HUGE core functionality gap. Google doesn't want to share and is keeping their GPS for Android, and Apple won't abandon Google maps (understandably). There needs to be a middle ground because AT&T's GPS app sucks compared to Android or a fantasy Apple GPS.
