Hey Siri, what’s that big lake in Canada called now? After Google, Apple bows to Trump’s ‘Lake America’ decree

Apple has updated Apple Maps to display Lake Ontario as 'Lake America' for US users, following an executive order from President Donald Trump. Google Maps had already made a similar change, meaning both major mapping platforms now comply with the US naming decree for American users.

Why: This is a geopolitical naming compliance story with no direct technical, infrastructure, or builder relevance. The only practical angle is that platform behavior (including maps, Siri responses, and potentially APIs) can shift based on government decrees in specific regions — relevant if you build location-dependent apps serving US users, but not actionable for most builders.
