Apple maps already show 3D animations in real time, Big Ben is an example of this

Apple has added an interesting feature to the XNUMXD view of cities that already support Flyover. It is about the integration of real-time animations and right now, it is already working in London's Big Ben. If you look closely, you will see that the clock of the mythical clock is changing the time little by little. In addition to Big Ben, you can also look for the London Eye and you will appreciate that it is turning.

Although for now only these two tourist spots enjoy animations on Apple maps, the company is sure already working to bring this feature to other areas of different cities.

Animating a clock is not very complex either, so just as Big Ben already shows the time, the same can be done with the rest. I am more struck by the fact that other elements animate, such as the London Eye so we'll have to wait to see what they surprise us with next time.

In use, this type of animations do not contribute anything to the end user either. Is about an aesthetic detail that draws attention But right now, many would do without them in exchange for something that really offers added value to Apple's mapping service.
