Google doesn't have massively more data than Apple.

Apple has been crawling the web for a few years now to power their suggested sites feature on Safari. And they also have access to Maps, Siri searches and all the data sources they linked to power it.

It's an advantage but not a massive nor insurmountable one.

And Google has literally all of that, plus all of Google Search plus all of Hangouts plus all of Gmail plus all of Google Voice (with voicemail).

I still think it's safe to imply that Google has a massive leg up on the data-side when compared to Apple, not to mention the today-comparison of Now vs Siri.
