They'll have to. They make money on map advertising anyway, not being on iOS anymore is a big chunk of the market.
Unless you believe the Google fanboys, who think Google should exploit this to drive Android sales.
In the end it's better than the previous situation for iPhone users, because instead of a stagnant mapping application that wasn't updated for years for political reasons, we'll have competition now - as long as Apple is willing to accept Google Maps on their App Store, which I think they would, since there are many already (even a TomTom one).
