I think Apple Maps is basically TomTom with a Apple logo slapped to it.

They stopped using TomTom in the US in 2020: https://www.wired.com/story/apple-maps-redesign/
"The main provider of map data is TomTom, but data is also supplied by Automotive Navigation Data, Getchee, Hexagon AB, IGN, Increment P, Intermap Technologies, LeadDog, MDA Information Systems, OpenStreetMap, and Waze."

I'm slightly surprised by Waze. I did not expect Google to support the competition
