Apple Maps is used a lot more than Google Maps on iOS.

It is the advantage of being the integrated application in the operating system.

There is no way to make Google Maps/or any other application the default one on iOS and any map link goes to Apple Maps

It's a top 10 app, ahead of Spotify, Uber, and even Apple's Find my iPhone. I'm only one datapoint, but I almost never use Apple Maps. (I'd love to see if my behavior is an outlier) Many apps are hip to this, and will give the option when they integrate.

I suspect Apple's claim is true on iOS devices. It's a good example of marketing spin.

"Apple's claim"? I see no claim in this thread that Apple made such a claim.
