Can I change my default phone app? I'd really like phone numbers to come up in Google Voice. Yes, I know I can long-press and sometimes that lets me choose GV, but it doesn't always work.

What about my default maps app? That would be nice too.

Second the default map app. I hate when I click a map link and it opens in Apple's map app, it looks just enough like Google maps that I don't immediately close it, then once I realize it's worse that I remember, I say, "oh, they tricked me again!"

It seems like this is something that Apple plans to relinquish control over time with. I hope that Apple finds the move to be a net positive for their ecosystem and decides to make more "defaults" changeable in the following releases.
