Upgrades to iOS6 has jumped"},"content":{"rendered":"

\"\"<\/a>I wrote a few days after the release of iOS6 that I would not be updating because Apple maps suck<\/a> and told my readers that if you use maps ALOT, like I do, do not update until they fix it… or until Google releases an app.<\/p>\n

And they did.\u00a0\u00a0 And now people are upgrading to iOS6.<\/p>\n

Here is what I read in techcrunch. “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,” MoPub’s CEO told TechCrunch. “It verifies the hypothesis that people were actually holding back to upgrade until Google Maps was available.<\/p>\n

and from TUAW<\/p>\n

MoPub CEO doesn’t think this jump is random and attributes it to users who were waiting to update until Google Maps became available.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

There is no better proof that maps was holding people back then this.<\/p>\n
