Apple Maps users could start seeing ads in the app as soon as next year, according to a new report from Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. Similar to Google Maps and other mapping apps, Apple's plan is to allow restaurants and other businesses with brick-and-mortar locations to pay to promote themselves in search results, Gurman says. While Apple already runs ads in the App Store, this could be part of a larger strategy to introduce more advertising in iOS.

OpenAI updated its ChatGPT iOS app, allowing users to select Google Maps as the maps provider for local results, replacing Apple Maps.
