Apple Maps has officially changed the name of Lake Ontario to "Lake America," mirroring a directive previously implemented by Google Maps. This alteration stems from an executive order issued by President Donald Trump, which was enacted in response to an ongoing trade dispute with Canada.
The decision to rename the significant geographical feature on digital mapping platforms underscores the escalating tensions in the trade relations between the two North American nations. While the change is reflected on the American versions of Apple Maps, the Canadian interface reportedly retains the original name, highlighting the distinct impacts of the political dispute on different national digital landscapes.
