Where it wins. Apple Maps appears in 12% of mentions and holds a rank of 9 out of 15 in route planning, showing it at least registers in AI responses when prompts ask about top tools for the current year.
Where it loses. A 0% first-pick rate tells the real story: it never leads the recommendation, and it is absent from six of the most purchase-relevant prompt themes including enterprise, budget, and use-case fit, where buyers are closest to choosing.
