Google Maps was a last minuet addition in the Original iPhone [Video]

iPhone

 

One of the most important applications on the original iPhone was the Maps application that Steve Jobs demoed with a prank call to Starbucks (we added the crank call video below). But it has now come to light that about a month before the phone was announced, no such application even existed on the device.


According to a story by The New York Times, the maps application was not at all part of the original plans for the phone.

 

Steve Jobs thought of having the application on the phone just weeks before the announcement because he thought it would help show off the multi-touch display better.
