    Thank god they didn’t pull a Google and it’s still Gulf of Mexico outside the US. Don’t give me that (Gulf of America) BS

    Edit: I’m an idiot and didn’t read the full title. Wtf?

      @NotSteve_ @Sunshine that why I didn’t get the fuss.

      Here in the Emirates; if I use Apple Maps, it still is “Gulf of Mexico”. So I thought you’re all lying! And making Tim and Trump look bad.

      But now I get it.

      BTW: Apple calls the Arabian Gulf the Persian Gulf.
      Not nice.
