Apple Maps Ads Get Curated | Tech News

Apple’s Maps ads are coming this summer in the U.S. and Canada — but with a much stricter, curated approach than Google’s.

Ads will appear one at a time with a clear blue halo, designed to feel like natural map elements — not intrusive listings. This mirrors Apple’s App Store curation, prioritizing quality over quantity.
