"iOS Maps is already far better than google maps. Further, Google maps hasn't really progressed in the last decade, while iOS Maps clearly is progressing pretty quickly."
It has been a long while since I've used an iPhone on a daily basis (iPhone 3G for nearly two years), so perhaps what you're saying is correct for the iOS version of Google Maps, but the Android version has progressed tremendously and it continues to do so. Google Maps/Nav is 90% of the reason I'd never even consider using a non-Android phone platform right now.
"I'm tired of the "Apple's product sucks because I don't know anything about technology or design but am a fan of [competitor]" junk."
This goes both ways. Yes, there are Android fanbois who are overly critical and overly defensive, but there are at least an equal number of Apple fanbois. If you only notice one side of this and noticing that makes you super defensive enough to post about it, odds are you yourself are a bit too much of a fanboi.
