We all knew this was coming. Apparently the next version of iOS will not have Google Maps. But do not worry, it will have its own version of maps. Apple has been slowly acquiring map/gps companies throughout the years for this rollout. They obviously do not like to rely on Google for their map feature and they want text to speech gps directions like Android has. So only time will tell if Apple maps compare to Google maps.
