iOS 13

Apple Maps finally has a feature that resembles Google Maps’

Street View, and it’s just as easy to use. Leif Johnson reports

I

t only took     12   years, but Apple Maps will finally

get a feature that resembles Google’s Street View

when iOS 13 and iPadOS drop sometime later this

year. (Unfortunately, it doesn’t work with macOS.)

Look Around works a lot like Street View, but it comes

with some attractions of its own, including smoother

transition animations and photos that use parallax in

order deliver a 3D-like depth you don’t find Google

Maps. It’s also easy to use, as you can see below.

One catch: Look Around is currently a very limited

feature, as you’ll only be able to use it in the United
