AllThingsD Confirms New iOS Maps App Will 'Blow Your Head Off'

Posted May 11, 2012 at 8:16pm by iClarified
AllThingsD's John Paczkowski has independently confirmed that Apple indeed will replace Google Maps with its own Maps application in iOS 6.

We've independently confirmed that this is indeed the case. Sources describe the new Maps app as a forthcoming tentpole feature of iOS that will, in the words of one, "blow your head off." I'm not quite sure what that means, and the source in question declined to elaborate, but it's likely a reference to the photorealistic 3-D mapping tech Apple acquired when it purchased C3 Technologies.

Apple is expected to unveil the new app at WWDC 2012.

And how long will this take to load on AT&T's network? I'm sure we have the needed bandwidth, it's not like I can barely stream videos and we are not even mentioning the 2 GB data limit. Or do they plan to store terabytes of data on the phone?

With a gay CEO, "blow your head off" can have a different meaning.
