Apple Maps changes Lake Ontario to Lake America after Trump order
The move follows an order by President Donald Trump as part of Washington's trade spat with Canada.
Apple has renamed Lake Ontario as Lake America on its maps service app, after an order from US President Donald Trump as part of Washington's trade spat with Canada.
The change was made for US-based users, while those in Canada will continue to see Lake Ontario displayed. The BBC has contacted Apple for comment.
The iPhone maker's move follows Trump's executive order to change the lake's name after trade talks between the neighbouring countries collapsed late last month, with Washington imposing new 50% tariffs on $20bn (£14.8bn; C$28bn) worth of Canadian goods.
Google made a similar switch for its users in the US in recent days, leading to backlash on social media.
Canada has responded to Washington's levies, saying it will implement "dollar for dollar" counter-tariffs.
Prime Minister Mark Carney's office had walked away from the trade negotiations, due to what his office has called unacceptable demands.
Carney has criticised Washington's approach to negotiations, saying both sides can start having discussions once the US starts "being serious".
