'Privilege' maps for European iPhones

This means that users can easily use Google Maps or Waze when they need to find their way, right on their iPhone. This decision by Apple comes from compliance with the EU's Digital Markets Act (DMA), which aims to create fair competition and give users choice.

However, this privilege is only for users in the EU, making iFans in other regions "jealous".

While there is no map app to choose from, iPhone users around the world are still somewhat comforted by the default translation app selection feature. Accordingly, you can replace Apple's Translate app with Google Translate or other translation apps of your choice.

The iOS 18.4 update is currently in beta and is expected to be officially released in early April.

Apple’s decision to allow users to choose their default map app in the EU is a big step forward, and raises hopes of a similar change globally. Will Apple extend this privilege to all iPhone users in the future?
