Further expansion is planned, with reports from bloomberg indicating ads will be introduced to Apple Maps.

In April 2025,Apple rebranded its advertising platform from Apple Search Ads to Apple Ads. This move signals a broader ambition to expand advertising opportunities for partners across its ecosystem.
