With the launch of iOS 15 in September, Apple introduced an updated Apple Maps experience with 3D maps that feature additional detail and custom-designed landmarks in select cities.

At launch, the updated Maps app was limited to major cities like Los Angeles, New York City, London, and San Francisco, but Apple has been working to expand it to additional areas. Back in November, Apple brought the 3D Maps experience to Washington, D.C. and San Diego.

As of now, the detailed city experience for ‌Apple Maps‌ can be accessed in London, Los Angeles, New York, Philadelphia, San Diego, Washington D.C., and the San Francisco Bay Area.

To be clear - the museum doesn't actually have a Rocky statue anywhere right? That's what I remember from my Philly visit, but that was like 20 years ago.
In the 80s (after Rocky III), it was at the top of the Museum steps for years.

Then outside The Spectrum (now demolished) way back in the day 90s, 00's. It was moved into storage for a few years, moved back briefly to the top of the Art Museum steps for the movie "Rocky Balboa" then finally ended up where it is now. :)
