"According to a Bloomberg report released on Apple’s plans for times to come, flying drones around is going to make it a lot easier to see the ground as compared to doing the same through cars. This particular statement is enough to prove that the manufacturer has plans of putting together a fleet of drones that will be meant to help it enhance its maps service.

It is believed that the fleet of drones that Apple is working on right now will be used to track changes in road layouts, examine street signs and even make updates to the database in terms of areas of construction. According to the report by Bloomberg, the utilization of drones for the tracking of changes in the landscape is going to help the manufacturer acquire faster results and input as compared to those received through cars that have sensors and cameras fitted into them. At the moment, that is how the company updates its services and if anything, the approach isn’t as fast as it should be, which is why the manufacturer is working on a drone fleet.

It is also being reported that Apple has acquired approval by the US Federal Aviation Administration in order to fly drones for commercial purposes. In this regard, there are rumors that at least one person has been hired from Amazon’s drone delivery service Prime Air in order to manage the operations. With time, we believe it will definitely become obvious as to how Apple plans on taking things forward. What we have right now are just reports based on what Bloomberg reported in this case – let’s see how things unfold in times to come."
