TL;DR
- Apple is preparing to introduce advertisements to its Maps app.
- An announcement is expected as early as this month.
- Ads will start appearing as early as this summer on the iPhone and other devices, as well as on the web.
From turn-by-turn directions to street views, there are a lot of similarities between Google Maps and Apple Maps. However, the latter has long managed to avoid adding the former’s worst feature — ads. As we learned last year, Apple will eventually follow in Google’s footsteps once again by bringing ads to its platform. It appears we could start seeing those ads in just a few months.
