Music streaming service and Apple product, with global reach and a vast catalog
Ford has integrated Apple Maps directly into its universal electric vehicle platform, starting with a $30,000 midsize truck due in 2027. The move, part of Ford’s push for affordability and a simplified tech stack, will power navigation, EV routing, and battery preconditioning, with Latitude AI using map data for a next-gen hands-free system. Apple Maps runs natively in-vehicle, not via CarPlay, and aims to streamline features like home automation and fleet routing.
Apple has reported strong hardware sales this quarter, with iPhone and Mac demand outpacing supply. Revenue hit $109.42 billion, while services lagged behind estimates. The company notes ongoing supply constraints and an expected quarter of continued scrambling to meet demand, even as it expands domestic manufacturing and AI initiatives.
