Apple's newly redesigned Maps application in iOS 6 will feature built-in support for users to check in with the social service Yelp, according to a new report.
Bloomberg said this morning that documentation recently provided to Apple developers includes screenshots of Yelp check-ins within the new Apple Maps application, which will replace Google Maps as the default mapping solution within iOS sometime this fall.
When Apple unveiled its new Maps application earlier this month, it noted that integrated support for Yelp will be a part of the software. But Apple's information detailed user reviews on Yelp, and did not reveal that further support for other features on the service, like check-ins, will also be integrated.
Apparently, the iOS 6 SDK includes screenshots of Yelp check-ins within Apple Maps. Neither Apple nor Yelp would comment on the story.
San Francisco- based Yelp runs a social network focused on user reviews and ratings. Apple partnered with Yelp in iOS 6, whose Maps app lets you peruse Yelp ratings and reviews for places of interest.
Maps in iOS 6 also include new 3D mapping technology that Apple has dubbed "Flyover." It recreates cities and buildings in an interactive, three-dimensional layout.
The new Maps application also includes Siri integration, allowing users to ask for directions and offer estimated arrival times.
