Informal testing finds Apple Maps arrival times are 'intentionally conservative' to provid...
I’ve got exactly the same experience in The Netherlands.
If I want an accurate prediction, I consult Apple Maps. It’s consistently more conservative than either Google Maps, Waze or NAVIGON. And mostly more accurate as well.
The efficiency of the ride is about the same for either one, but I like the accurate rush hour detour of Apple Maps. It’s mostly even better than Google Maps.
However, Google Maps is still more aware of names of public places, although Apple Maps improved greatly after adding the Foursquare database. -

How to force close apps on iPhone X
I find myself getting more and more used to the iPhone X gestures. I’m already almost as fast in force closing apps on my X as I was on my 7 plus.
For an action that I do not use that often, ‘almost‘ is good enough for me.
I can already invoke the app switcher faster on my X than I could on my previous iPhones. Amazing how well thought through the UI on the iPhone X is! -

I wish this for a long time; I even read AppleInsider in Safari, and not in the app, to be able to use Safari’s black Reader mode at night. -
