I think this is great news.
Apple has been providing an amazing service for free for too long and they deserve to finally make some money.
On top of the literal $100 billion a year they already make? The poor souls.
those poor scrappy startups, they need to finally turn a profit
Finally somebody here standing up for the little guys.
That's a good point, but is it free? Can I use it without giving Apple any money, or do I need to have an Apple product to run it on?

I'm pretty sure you can run maps on a hackintosh so I think you can run it without giving Apple any money.
Can I run it on my Apple IIe?
Sure! Step one: tape an iPad to the screen.
Is that you, Tim?
Can you please bring back the mini, at least every few years like the old SE? I missed my chance to buy one.
Best I can do is the SE/30, in peach, tangerine, and cerulean.
