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.
