Apple Maps may soon incorporate parking time into its arrival estimates, according to findings from code explorer pdfu. The iOS 27.3 beta reportedly includes a new "TimeToPark" flag that measures the time spent near a destination before parking, as well as the walking time afterward. This data is collected using background location and motion information and is saved per trip, grouped by weekday and hour.
However, pdfu notes that the feature can only be enabled on internal installations, and no Maps feature currently utilizes this data. Despite this, the possibility of parking-aware ETAs in Apple Maps remains a potential development to watch.
