Does anyone have evidence of towns being deleted, or were they just never there to begin with? An article from Newsweek

I'm doubtful the claims in the article are real.

So far, there’s no evidence that Apple recently deleted place names from the region. Instead, Apple Maps has long shown sparser labeling in southern Lebanon than Google Maps, which uses different data sources and displays more local detail at broader zoom levels.

There are multiple videos of people zooming in on Apple Maps and occasionally a very small town pops up while ignoring the larger towns. https://x.com/ZacksJerryRig/status/2043389523921641881

Conveniently everything next to Lebanon including Syria does have naming in Apple Maps

Lebanon is also thoroughly mapped by basically every mapping provider and this "enhanced" accuracy stuff sounds like complete nonsense.
