I assume this is partly interesting/funny because in the UK, both "Iceland" and "Spar" are grocery store chains :)

I went to Apple Music already back when Spotify decided to give Rogan their platform and the millions of dollars. Can't say I regret it.

But Google is now Alphabet, so should be MAANA

But a map app is so much more than street maps and navigation. I have tried to switch to Apple Maps, and it works great for navigation or getting an overview of the streets. But I cannot use Apple Maps to explore!

With Google maps, I just fire it up and search “sights” to find places near that are worth a visit. “Public beaches” to find where I can go for a swim. If I try the same with Apple Maps, more often than not I get sent to a place in Myanmar or similar which happens to be tagged as “public beach”.

Also when I search for a business on Google maps, I get photos and reviews. With Apple Maps I am happy if I get a link to a website.

I diagree. The c / z in American pronunciation can cause confusion in verbal communication here. "at ey bee [see] dot ex why [see]"

To be honest, it is more a F-U to your competitors' customers than to your own. I don't get why Apple creating a feature for their own ecosystem has to be made available to other ecosystems as well. It's not like Face Time is the only video calling solution out there.
