Will Apple show paid, labeled ads in Apple Maps in both the US and Canada?

🤖 Context

YES if, no later than September 30, 2026, Apple Maps (the Apple Maps app on iOS/iPadOS and/or maps.apple.com) is demonstrably serving paid advertisements to users in both the United States and Canada. Ads must appear in search results, place listings, or discovery cards and be visibly labeled 'Ad', 'Sponsored', 'Promoted', or an obvious equivalent, presented as paid placements. YES also if Apple or Apple Ads documentation or Apple Newsroom explicitly states Apple Maps ads are live in both countries, or if corroborating screenshots/reporting from reputable outlets show this. Otherwise NO. If ads are live only in one country or only in a private pilot limited to selected businesses, that is NO.
