That's because your device's measurement system is set to metric. To change it to miles, follow these steps:

  • On your iPhone or iPad, open the Settings app.
  • Tap General.
  • Tap Language & Region.
  • Tap Measurement System.
  • Choose US.

Once you've made this change, Apple Maps will start reporting distances in miles.
