That’s a very valid criticism given the amount of software bugs in recent years and a very stagnant product cycle across the board this year.

Apple Announces More Ads Coming to App Store Starting Next Week

I think the Mac will be the last place they do this. People on mobile sadly seem used to ads and poor experiences.
Yea set the record straight.
Only the top end in the US.
False.
You don’t pay for anything. Like a dev if you pay for services you opt in.
Don’t open the App Store.
Seems like this is good for devs.
It kind of is, isn’t it 😆? I mean, no business will advertise it, but making money is pretty much the whole purpose of every business when it comes down to it.
If both profit and environment benefit, it’s not impossible to do it for both reasons.
They didn’t lie because it’s true. It’s just not the only reason. But of course, expecting any company to say “we want to make a few more bucks on selling you something at the same price” isn’t the most reasonable.
It amazes me how so many of you cannot grasp that an action can serve two purposes at the same time.
I disagree. This release has about the same amount of bugs as prior releases, in my opinion. There is no way of objectively measuring this and people will say what they want. And to me the iPhone 14 pro max is innovative. Air pods 2 innovative. Apple Watch 8 and ultra innovative.

If privacy mattered to you would either:
1)not be using iOS devices
2)use iOS devices on the assumption that all your data is being spied on and sold to ad companies and government
Either way you shouldn’t be shocked. Big business isn’t going toss out massive profits of data dealing just because it’s “the right thing to do”

This is said like it’s a bad thing. It’s a good thing. And it’s up to the individual to decide if apple is nickel and diming them to death and if it’s worth it going forward.
No, because apples gross margin will probably stay the same. And due to inflation everything has gotten more expensive.
The environment is exactly what it is.
Please define the universe of “same fools”. Those who believe there is a benefit to the environment by not manufacturing hundreds of millions of bricks?

Did Apple make a fuss over 3rd party advertising in general? I thought it was just about advertising based on personal tracking without notice or permission. 3rd parties are free to advertise based on tracking if they get permission, and those who advertise without tracking weren’t affected at all. It doesn’t sound like Apple’s ads described in this article are doing any tracking, so it still seems like the fuss was just about privacy.

This is dumb, Apple. Is it just me or am I the only one that feels like they don’t spend that much time in the App Store anymore?
I hope you are right, but experience in life has taught me that eventually, people will accept anything. Apple just has to keep pushing.
Honestly I haven’t been on the App Store in over a year probably. It’s littered with subscriptions. I’m finding myself just using Apple’s apps. Or if I want to redownload an app, I just spotlight search it, it pops up, and I tap the download button.
The move to subscriptions really destroyed my want or need to download additional apps.

I have hardly used the AppStore to actually look for apps since whatever iOS release turned it into crap. I pretty much come across apps randomly online in some articles and it takes me directly to the download page. I only access the update section besides that.
The moment I read „you may also like“ anywhere, I automatically zone out like NOPE. I already hated it when I was still using Facebook and the newsfeed many years ago

Oh ok. But it was said with a little disdain, no? If so, shouldn’t that be directed at all businesses/capitalism? Or is it?
