Sending a data outside and keeping that data on the outside servers are two different things don’t you think? Apple might use a web api but they don’t store that data about you unlike google.

They could also make some decoy geo-location request. I dunno if they do, but if i was serious about it I would. Or maybe this being a frequent location for you they already cached the map tiles from that one time you opened the map while in the neighborhood. Or maybe they actually loaded all POIs in your home state at some point in the past. There aren’t that many out there.
