In the recent release of iPhoto for iOS it appears that Apple has started using OpenStreetMap's data (http://blog.osmfoundation.org/2012/03/08/welcome-apple/). Unfortunately, there are still some problems. Apple is currently not applying the necessary attribution to OSM; they are using an old (from April 2010) dump of the data; and they are not using the data in the U.S. Fingers crossed that Apple works through these issues quickly! Apple is now one of a growing list (including geocaching, and foursquare) to Switch2OSM (http://switch2osm.org/).
