Two years after its release on Android, Google's Photo Sphere app arrives on iOS. The photo spheres can be mapped in +Google Maps using the new Google Maps Views, like these still photos, mostly mapped back when G+ supported that along with many originally mapped in +Panoramio: https://www.google.com/maps/views/profile/107459220492917008623?gl=us&pv=2&tab=2&po=2

Announcement: Photo Sphere for iOS
Today we bring the magic of #photosphere to the iPhone and iPad with "Photo Sphere Camera". Get it on the App Store: http://appstore.com/PhotoSphereCamera
Photo Sphere Camera creates 360-degree panoramas up to an amazing 50 megapixels! We've also made it really easy to publish your favorite photo spheres straight to +Google Maps and Views (g.co/views) to help other people explore the world.
I'm really loving this app as I travel. It's perfect when I'm visiting hiking trails or urban downtowns, historic locations or resort hotels. Below are some of my favorites…

Cool. Only two years later.
woot … if iPhones were any good (or had any market share), they would have ported it long ago 🙂
Joe Apple rarely looks to outside developers to port things unless it's fantastic such as Bluetooth
That's really funny +Joe Azure !
Android and Windows Phone have unique capabilities, but the Apple iPhone 6 Plus is still best

The iPhone is far more important to app developers economically:

GOOGLE'S DIRTY SECRET: Android Phones Are Basically Used As Dumbphones

My first smartphone was the original Droid, but Verizon stopped upgrading the OS within a few months of my purchase, so it quickly became a paperweight as I couldn't get critical emerging apps for it.
Later I had the HTC EVO running Android, returned it as a lemon and the replacement was just as buggy. Then Sprint reneged on their 2 year contract for unlimited data, so that had to go. Now Sprint is offering unlimited data again, but they clearly can't be trusted not to can that partway into a 2 year service contract! Live and learn. I was very pleased with the iPhone 4S and have the 5S now. It looks like the iPhone 6 Plus camera is better enough to justify the upgrade.
I like the availability of unique apps and hardware for iOS devices given the larger revenue opportunity available in that user base. The new features of iOS 8 such as being able to share music and apps among up to 5 users looks very attractive as well.
great!
great
