In 2012, with the release of iOS 6, Apple Maps was introduced as the default navigation application for iPhone phones, but the numerous problems of this app at the time of its release made Tim Cook advise users to use third-party apps such as Use Google Maps.

Some time later, Apple terminated cooperation with the third-party mapping company that was responsible for designing Apple Maps maps and decided to design these maps internally. This decision ended up benefiting Apple because now many iPhone users use Apple Maps instead of Google Maps. Apple Maps was also the first navigation app to help drivers by displaying traffic lights and traffic signs.
In 2021 and with the release of iOS 15, Apple added a new feature to Apple Maps that showed the map of four cities in 3D with numerous and detailed details, but now the list of these cities has increased to 24. This feature not only displays 3D maps of cities, but also road signs and city landmarks, such as Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles and the Statue of Liberty in New York. The list of all these cities is as follows:
- Atlanta, Georgia
- Berlin, Germany
- Boston, Massachusetts
- Chicago, Illinois
- Dallas, Texas
- Hamburg, Germany
- Houston, Texas
- Las Vegas, Nevada
- London, United Kingdom
- Los Angeles, California
- Melbourne, Australia
- Miami, Florida
- Montreal, Canada
- Munich, Germany
- New York, New York
- Paris, France
- Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
- San Diego, California
- San Francisco Bay Area, California
- Seattle, Washington
- Sydney, Australia
- Toronto, Canada
- Vancouver, Canada
- Washington, DC
