Other comments mentioned Apple had issues correcting streets/routes because they had to be corrected downstream (they licensed from places like TomTom). Part of the goal of this update is to bring it all in-house improving the turnaround time.

I wonder if your corrections, like phone numbers, we're on Apple's end and much easier to correct?

nit: upstream

Data flows downstream, from the maintainer or canonical source-of-truth to wherever it is used. It's changes in the opposite direction, upstream, that are expensive and slow.
