    Apple says reports claiming certain Lebanese towns and villages were removed from Apple Maps are incorrect, adding that those locations had never been featured on the platform in the first place.

    The tech giant added that its newer, more detailed Apple Maps experience is not currently available there, and has not yet launched in all markets globally.

      Yeah at this point the focus needs to be on responding to their claim. If that data was never there, then this is nothing to talk about. If the data was there at some point, somebody may be able to prove that and catch Apple in a lie.

      But continued posts about Apple removing this data are basically unsubstantiated at this point.

        There are places near where i live in USA that are missing from apple maps, so it is not out of the question for places to be missing from Lebanon.
