better not appear anywhere else but App Store
They will appear other places eventually. App Store for now “only.”
We think you're going to love it!
Just wait until Tim takes the stage and says "GOOD MORNING! Today's event is sponsored by *insert company here*"
It’s just a matter of time…
That’s an expensive ad placement. If it’s WWDC…. 😂
The Ad Store ... there's an Ad for that.
*Facebook*
Directions will be like.. " From the next junction, turn.. "Your favourite restaurant is on the right side".... recalculating.. Please take a U turn.
They still have a Subscription Store?
I never visit that place. It’s for high rollers.

Ads will also appear in the "You Might Also Like" section at the bottom of individual app listings."
Many people complain about Google.
Now how many of them will complain about Apple and its ads its customers will now become the sources for its ads?
Wait until ads appear elsewhere outside of the App store.

I would say the software, which was their crown jewel, has taken a major hit. They seem to be most successful in areas where they acquire other companies that are successful, such as chip-making from having acquired PA Semi. They were known for great software after acquiring NeXT and absorbing its engineers. Now they can't even manage a windowing system on the iPad.
So much for the “premium experience”
I agree the software isn’t as polished and rock solid as it was. I personally believe as they slowly tacked on iCloud to most of their applications it became a stability and reliability problem. The software is still good though, could definitely be better. They made some smart acquisitions over the last couple decades. NeXTSTEP/Openstep Ventura…. I mean macOS Ventura is coming soon!
Imagine if there is an ad for Walmart’s app in there. It’ll really throw some people off based on the recent Walmart thread here.
Are people really getting upset because of ads for apps in the App Store?
I think people forget Apple is a money making company foremost and gotta turn big profits. You cant look at Apple as your friendly neighbor willing to do all things to benefit you. It ain't so.

I see the majority making fun and having a good time. Don’t think it really surprises most of us.
👊😎👍
They do! Third party ads! Privacy! Only Apple can provide us the right ads.But I thought Apple hated ads?
If Apple's putting more ads on their app store then it must be something a lot of Apple users have been asking for. That's why they're putting their energy into it.

During a panel at Kara Swisher's final Code Conference yesterday, Cook was asked why iOS has not yet adopted support for the RCS standard and how Steve Jobs would feel about it (via The Verge), despite repeated calls from the industry for the company to do so. "I don't hear our users asking that we put a lot of energy in on that at this point," Cook said in response to the question.
