Google is seriously putting the hurt on Apple with its new Google Maps app for iOS. After Apple launched its own Maps app earlier this year it was embarrassingly lame. What was previously a slick maps app with Apple's UI and Google's backend data ended up being the laughing stock of the tech world. Apple went on to apologize, but largely remained silent on the subject.
Google released its own iOS Maps App last week with a slick interface and accurate data. Many people say its the best maps app on any platform, including Google's own Android app. The numbers prove that the world was craving Google Maps. The new app has 10 million downloads in just 48 hours. Crazy.
Apple should be embarrassed. It is true that the company let some executives go over the debacle but is that enough? Can they really catch up? Not anytime soon. It will take years for Apple to catch Google.
