Lake Geneva or Lake Geneva? The Vaudois and the Valaisans will obviously choose the first answer – because it is the right one. The Genevans will turn to the second, particularly loving to tickle us when it comes to appointing the largest lake in Switzerland.
Unfortunately, Apple recently agreed to them. The apple brand has just renamed Lake Geneva in Geneva Lake in the “Plans” application, a sacrilege that has been pointed out by Mac4ever. “Scandal in Switzerland”title very rightly the media. And write:
“The Vaudois and the Valaisans who read us will certainly have a heart attack”
To Apple users: Test!

Apple flaw
Don’t panic! It is not a Geneva victory, but a simple flaw in the Apple system. Indeed, as explained Mac4everwhen a certain number of users gathers to report an error – on a Facebook group, for example -, the American company does not care if it may trigger a national scandal. It simply modifies the name of a place according to the number of similar feedback received. In Paris, Boulevard Haussmann recently took the name of Boulevard Oseman (Dembélé) following the victory of PSG.
However, it will be necessary to count several weeks Before Apple realizes his blunder. And at Mac4ever to underline:
“Basically, it is even a little worrying to see that Apple does not manually validate such changes, especially on such emblematic names. Plans is also used in GPS, enough to turn a good number of drivers and tourists. ”
Long live Lake Geneva ❤️
On Instagram, French -speaking Internet users (kindly) torn apart when they discovered this hiccup, also relayed by RTS.
“Long live Lake Geneva ❤️”
“This is the problem, I love Lake Geneva 🤭”
“Calm, we lost a battle but not the war”
“Geneva is not a lake mdrr it’s in France in addition 🤭”
Ouch!
“I don’t see a personal flaw”
“Everyone knows it’s Lake Thonon-les-Bains 😂”
“Long live the Republic of Geneva, long live!”
“It’s just Lake Lake 🙏🏼”
The word of the end.
