[gto55]

Although apple tries to propose alternative to Google's apps (map for example), people keep on managing their infos, searches... with Google.

And in addition, more and more developpers start complaining with Apple iCloud:

In an interesting bit of competition, Google continues to usurp Apple as the top publisher on the iOS App Store, even as Facebook bests Google on Android, according to market data from App Annie.

The app analytics firm released its February numbers for non-game apps on Thursday. Beginning this month, the company has begun breaking out mobile app store data into separate games and non-game app reports.

Apple held the number one spot in terms of downloads on the App Store last December, but Google passed up the company on its own platform in January and held onto the crown in February.

YouTube and Google Maps were the top two downloaded apps on the App Store last month. That’s a significant win for Google. The company struck out on its own on iOS after enjoying several years of having its apps pre-installed. Apple has moved away from Google by developing its own mapping service, which drew heavy criticism for being sub-par.
