• No new “city experiences” for Los Angeles, New York, or the four other cities pre-announced by Apple (San Diego, Philadelphia, Washington, and London).
• That said, New York has received a number of new building models and the existing New York building models have new shadowing effects.
• Apple has also added a new splash screen that suggests that the new “city experience” will be added for New York and Los Angeles sometime between now and iOS 15’s launch in September:
• Neighborhood typography has been reverted back to the Beta 1 look:
• And the POI increase we saw last week has also been reverted.
• Meanwhile, freeways have been made thicker and now have a slight blue tint.
• Apple also continues to tweak the coloring used for landcover. There’s now less yellow.
• And the typography of physical feature labels has been reverted to the Beta 1 look.
