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.
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.
Finally somebody here standing up for the little guys.
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
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.
