Is this still true after the update?

  Yep

  Why would you expect a UI update to change the underlying server data?

    It's not just a UI update, they went through and captured all the data themselves as well so they won't have to supplement with TomTom anymore.

    It's not just a UI update, it's brand new maps with completely revamped datasets.

    "More precise addresses" sounds deeper than a UI update.

    Because the website says that the map data has been updated as well.

    Why do you think it was just a UI update? The headline from the article: > New Apple Maps Designed with Better Road Coverage and Pedestrian Data, More Precise Addresses, and Detailed Land Cover As well as many of the features highlighted by the article seems to allude to new data. - Look Around - Real-time transit information - Flight status - Indoor Maps - Flyover (3D city scapes) At the very least it sounds like they have added a whole bunch of data sources. They also claim that they have better road and pedestrian coverage...but offer no specifics. So whether these changes produce net "better" data foundation is unclear, but it sounds to me like more than just a visual update.

    Why would you expect only a UI update to be relevant?
