The Mobile Map War Between Apple And Google

Apple is planning to launch new mobile map for iPad and iPhone instead of Google maps. And Google has decided to improve in the Google maps and Google Earth. This has led to a cold war between Google and Apple for Mobile maps.

The iPhone and iPad has been using Google Map by default. It has been pre-installed with its operating system, iOS. As per Wall Street Journal, 90 percent of US phone users use Google map for finding the exact location. This makes mobile map a critical asset for Apple.  That’s why it decided to move from Google Map’s mapping system and instead build their own. It is very difficult for Apple to purchase license of the technology for mobile maps from the Google and Google isn’t either interested in giving the license to Apple. So Apple decided to offer its customers better service for Map with unique and better features than Google’s. This is expected to give iPhone and iPad app developer new ways of developing GPS tracking apps.

The cold war doesn’t end here. It’s no secret that Google’s android and Apple’s iOS are the two fiercest competitors in the mobile space. In order to make android ‘more’ feature-rich Google maps powered by Android has street view capabilities. This feature was not passed down for Apple’s iOS. So Apple has been working hard to create its own mapping software and service. iPad app developer will benefit the most by leveraging Apple’s all-new mobile mapping system.  

As per Journal, Apple needed more data for the final step of Mobile map: building its “geocoder”. It is the code that translates longitudes and latitudes into actual addresses. Apple has also purchased Poly9, C3 Technologies and Placebase to boost its mapping capabilities. Apple quietly launched its geocoder in the latest iPhone software. In this while the iPhone users open its map application, it translate their position as per Apple technology. Its new technology for map may have the zoomable 3D features.

iPhone Application Development Will Get Complex As Apple Leads The Enterprise App Market

Mobile applications are undergoing a metamorphosis today which is marked by their expansion into the enterprise market. While, both  Android and iOS remain as the market favorite, iOS seems to have gained an upper hand in the enterprise market of mobile devices. Mobile app developers and experts have suggested that Apple has worked to fix its security loopholes and is now all set to enter into the enterprise market with its full force. Android on the other hand is perceived to be  oriented for the masses and its security vulnerabilities are making it hard for enterprises to rely on the platform. In the face of this two things have started to occur.

iPhone application development-
The patterns of iPhone applications development have changed a lot. Apart from interesting games and generic apps, individuals are now investing in enterprise level mobile app development, many of them exclusively focused over the iPad. In Fact the apple app store has more than 200k apps meant specifically for the iPad of which enterprise app contribute to a large chunk. Mobile app developers are positive about the growth of enterprise level apps and are also hiring large number of mobile app development experts to run the show. iPhone application development companies are now looking forward for an organized pattern of software outsourcing for the mobile iOS in future. They predict that with each year, iPads will see updates with its hardware configuration and more complicated forms of applications will be made by the leading app developers. To handle the whole scenario, they will have to outsource parts of application coding to countries like India. 

Mobile app developers in India are also expecting a positive change with the development of enterprise market for mobile devices.     

The strengthening of the iOS ecosystem-
The large screen of an iPad with effortless touch navigations works absolutely great which makes it optimum choice to be used for organizational purposes. Apple has always emphasized upon creating the best possible software for its devices that were aimed at giving a strong aesthetic feel coupled with simplicity in usage. These features are so basic and fundamental to human senses that they are catalysing the growth of enterprise usage of iOS apps and devices single handedly. Apple is also topping up its entire ecosystem with iCloud and it could also prove to be a critical link to its journey into the enterprise market.

Apple is leaving no stone unturned in its quest to dominate the mobile enterprise market. It's probable that android will follow suit. However Apple was done with its homework quite early and its efforts are already paying off.
