Random Baggage Claim Pins Appear on Apple Maps

A strange bug has been discovered in Apple Maps, displaying point-of-interest pins for airport baggage claim stations across the US. The glitch appears when zoomed out far enough to show state abbreviations and major cities, but not airports themselves. The unusual pins are blue and appear at various airport terminals.

The issue was first spotted on Reddit about 24 hours ago. To see it, open the Maps app, center your viewport around Chicago, and then zoom out to the level where you can see state abbreviations and major cities. At this level, a handful of blue baggage claim pins will be visible.

Apple is expected to fix the bug with a server update. The glitch is harmless but unusual, and it’s unclear why it started happening recently. Users can expect the issue to be resolved discreetly by Apple in due course.
