Apple has recently spoken with the Associated Press and told them that Apple Maps is now used three times more than Google Maps on iPhone. Here's what the publication says:

"Apple says its mapping service is now used more than three times as often as its next leading competitor on iPhones and iPads, with more than 5 billion map-related requests each week. Research firm comScore says Apple has a modest lead over Google on iPhones in the U.S., though comScore measures how many people use a service in a given month rather than how often."

The usage gains for Apple Maps can be attributed to Apple Maps being a built-in app and the default mapping solution for features like Siri and Mail. Besides this, the newer, more improved version of Apple Maps doesn't have as many problems as it did before, so this made more iPhone users embrace it.

For its mapping app, Apple now gets data "from more than 3,000 sources" for business listings, traffic and more. For its new Transit features, Apple even sent out teams to map out subway entrances and signs.
