Apple Using OpenStreetMap Data in iPhoto For iOS
We've long expected Apple to move away from Google as their map providers, and instead put its own acquisitions to use, after the relationship between the two companies started deteriorating. It appears that Apple's already working on doing the first bit, with its release of iPhoto for iOS.
As noticed by 512pixels, the the map view in the app features tiles that have no Google branding at all, and are very different from the map tiles you're used to seeing on Google Maps.

OSM is not detail enough to use it in the certain area such as China.

Gods, no! This is crap!… in the US this might be ok, but you have no idea how incomplete OpenStreetMap is here in Japan, presumably Apple’s second or third largest profit market… even in the HEART OF TOKYO IT IS MISSING STREETS
