Do you have sources on those employee numbers?
Also, even if Apple had an equal number of employees and worked as fast as Google, of course they wouldn’t be able to catch up. Google has a head start. But it’s not like Apple isn’t leagues ahead of where Google was in 2011 by now.
- native_samples 5y agoI worked on Maps for a while. The 6000 number must surely include the contractor army that was authoring the maps themselves. Google is a lot bigger than it once was, but when I worked on it there were perhaps "only" 300-500 engineers working on the project. Still an enormous effort. However there were thousands more people in India working around the clock tracing satellite photos and using street view imagery to create in-house maps. So I can believe the raw number.
