Oh wtf apple

[–] fartsparkles@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Still says Gulf of Mexico to me. Is the change just for American users then?

[–] IcyToes@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

In the UK, it says both. One above the other.

Spineless and pathetic.

[–] fartsparkles@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I’m in the UK. Just says Gulf of Mexico for me, even when I select it.

[–] blattrules@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I’m an American and it still says the proper name for me too.

For me it shows Golf of Mexico until I zoom in.

Lmao its apple map alright

[–] KoalaUnknown@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Now it just shows Golf of America for me. Seems to have been caused by the live rollout.

[–] ohshit604@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

Seems like it. Still Gulf of Mexico on my end.

Did you really expect the trillionaire company to be on your side?
