Apple Releases “Detailed City Experience” for Paris & Cycling Directions for France
June 5, 2023

Paris also now becomes the city with the most custom icons (34 total), stealing the crown away from the San Francisco Bay Area (which has 31).

Earlier this year, Apple released cycling directions for all of Germany and the Detailed City Experience for Berlin, Hamburg, and Munich together all on the same day. This suggests an emerging pattern of Apple releasing cycling directions and the DCE simultaneously for new countries. (If so, Spain/Portugal and/or Italy might be the likeliest to follow this pattern next.)
