iOS 6 Adoption grows 29% after Google Maps release.
Seriously.
Apple Maps was that bad.
MoPub Ad exchange that supports over 12,000 apps saw a 29% increase in unique iOS 6 users just five days after Google Maps for iOS hit the App Store.
Despite that fact that only 0.2% (According to Chitika) of people decided to jump on board immediately within 48hrs (over the weekend)
Which by the way.. had over 10 million installs in the first 48hrs.
MoPub’s CEO went on to say,
“we observed since the launch of Google Maps for iOS 6 a 30 percent increase in unique iOS 6 users, and we think it’s related to Google Maps. It verifies the hypothesis that people were actually holding back to upgrade until Google Maps was available.”
Needless to say, with Apple’s embarrassment aside, this opens up the doors for more people to jump on board the iPhone 5 band wagon knowing they have a dependable maps app now.
