> Apple Maps now displays Lake Ontario as Lake America for users in the United States, while users in Canada continue to see its existing name. The change follows Donald Trump’s executive order and mirrors Google’s decision, amid an escalating US-Canada trade dispute. Canada has rejected the renaming and installed a sign reaffirming “Lake Ontario.”
