From all the iPhones in all the pockets and hands, Apple will be able to get real-time flow data, which is key to understanding everything from
newly opened routes to construction and accidents affecting traffic up-to-the-second. Think Waze but without having to share your personal location data with Google.
That's the biggest part of all this. Through every step and layer and process, the new Apple Maps was architected with privacy in mind. For example, all the Apple Maps van data is encrypted and sanitized to remove faces, license plates, and other individually identifiable information.
Data from iPhones is segmented with the start and end points thrown away and only random,
de-identified parts from the mid-points used to "probes" for new routes and traffic. (You can also opt-out of that Settings > Privacy if you really want to.)
At iPhone volume, that means Apple Maps can know how people are navigating without having to know where how any individual person is coming or going.
