Welcome to the World Wide Web FIGHT NIGGGHHHTTTTT!!! The iOS map title may be at stake. I'm here with the challenger, the brand new Google Maps for iOS, who is up against Apple Maps in the fight of the... week. Apple Maps has been ridiculed since its first release in iOS 6, and people only had the old iOS Google Maps to compare it to. Now, Google Maps is finally back on iOS, and it looks like it's ready to take back its place as the go-to iOS maps app.
