Gotta admire their spin on "one fifth of our users went to the trouble of replacing a core OS feature"

How do you get ton one fifth of our users? Just trying to understand your math.

Assumed that Google Maps plus Apple Maps usage ~= 100% iOS users.

1 + 3.5 = 4.5

1 / 4.5 = 22.2%

Since this is from WWDC, they probably counted every Apple Maps API call and compared that to GM app uses for over 5 minutes.

It's WWDC, its the keynote, its full with outrageous statistics like the many performance claims.

On iOS, not globally

I'm actually surprised their lead is that small - maybe transit directions will stop people using Google maps on iOS though. I wonder if that's the preinstalled app the most people would replace if they could though.
