Apple Maps Renames Lake Ontario as “Lake America” for U.S. Users Following Trump Order

Apple has updated its Maps app to display “Lake America” for the Great Lake that borders New York and Ontario, following a U. S. executive order issued by former President Donald Trump. The change applies only to users in the United States; Canadian and other international users continue to see the traditional name. The rename comes amid a trade dispute between the United States and Canada, with the Trump administration seeking to assert U. S. sovereignty over the lake’s name. Apple’s compliance reflects the company’s adherence to U. S. government directives, while the move has drawn criticism from Canadian officials and residents who view the name change as a political statement.
