Apple joins Google and renames Lake Ontario to "Lake America"

Apple followed Google's example and now shows Lake Ontario as "Lake America" on Apple Maps for users in the United States. This change comes as compliance with an order from American President Donald Trump. The change was implemented on Apple's map service, which until then had used the traditional name of the lake. This decision represents one of the first practical implementation measures of Trump's executive order aimed at renaming bodies of water in the United States. Google had already implemented the same change on its platform, becoming the first major technology company to comply with the presidential directive. The action of the two technology companies occurs at a time of increased tension in trade relations between the United States and Canada. Trade negotiations between the two countries are at a difficult point, with the worsening of discussions that have been deteriorating in recent times. This renaming thus comes in a broader context of geopolitical and commercial tension between the two nations.
