The new iOS 6 showed that Apple has not included Google Maps and instead has chosen satellite view into a 3D photographic model, showing realistic details about several U.S. cities and others. There is turn-by-turn navigation and real time traffic support. A bigger display is required for these features to work well.
Presently, 4-inch is the normal smartphone screen as many Android smartphones come with this feature. Apple iPhone 4S has only 3.5-inch screen but Apple is expected to modify and come out with a better screen for iPhone 5.
