I’ll be clearer: The app front-end for OSM was jank (on iOS in 2018). Apple maps does have a marker to show that “OSM and other providers” have contributed to the data. There is also a logo for ‘tomtom’.

Apple Maps only uses OpenStreetMap in some places I believe - if anyone knows exactly where I'm very interested to hear!
