Does anyone think that Apple could add advertisement in the future to FaceTime? Apple could easily use location services to advertise businesses in the area during a call. Great way for apple to make money. Yay? or Nay?

Erm, this is a bit strange.

Isn't the Picture in Picture, you, (the caller)?

The captions don't match.

And in any case, how would geo-locating know what gender we are?
 
sorry i just chuckled at the screen... on the phone with your partner and up comes a singles ad 😛
 
For example, if you were shopping in Walmart (ew) and a call comes in. The store could promote the products that they sell base on your location.

Advertisement could be simple: "Have you tried the new Five gum" or "Got Milk?"

This could be helpful for shoppers or even remind them to buy milk... which I always forget. 😀
