According to the Wall Street Journal, iPhone users are increasingly finding reasons to choose Apple Maps over Google Maps, with some customers commending its clear public transport directions and visually appealing design.

I feel like the bit that gets missed in these conversations is how terrible Waze has become in the last few years. The UI has always been awful, but it’s started just straight up not working any more. Each release seems to introduce new bugs.
I can’t remember the last time I had an “oh shit, it saved me 20 minutes” moment with it. More often than not it seems like it’s just using me as an experiment to try out increasingly insane new routes for no benefit (I know it has to send a certain portion of its users on crazy routes to try them out, but it seems like it’s always me).
The only reason is to get reports of speed cameras, but Apple Maps has started doing that now and seems to be a bit less insane when it comes to routing.
