Has there been any store in the history of stores that didn’t have advertising though? News has half the stories being corporate PR anyway, stocks app I’m not familiar with but it’s another version of a store.
I feel these are pretty benign uses of advertising on their platform(s):
- Apple TV shows ads about shows and movies
- iOS tells you about system upgrades to help battle the constant inevitable security issues
- Mac OS tells you about the latest Mac OS if you’re not running the latest Mac OS
And I can’t think of any other ads Apple has sent my way.
Apple uses your data in ways that they see fit to improve your user experience. The only material difference is that Google wants you to buy whatever from whoever pays them ad bucks, whereas Apple wants you to buy Apple products for Apple.
