Sometimes yes, sometimes no. In my experience, most of the time it does.
Apple should raise the price of the iPhone with the sku that includes the free voucher.
Ads are not a premium experience...Apple therefore is not premium experience, anymore.
Shame.
Shame.
Maybe they could have a popup when someone goes to buy a charger from them for cash that says the user should take pause to consider how it will effect the environment before going through with the purchase.
I'm sure some of them probably have dupes

No ads in the Mac app store because nobody uses it.
You’re missing my point. At some point Apple will lose money as people will always have a cut off at how much they are willing to pay for a phone that they want. That’s with no recession or inflation. With them the cut off always comes sooner.
I believe it’s also in response to developers and pundits claiming Apple’s old way prevented competition. Well now anyone can promote their App just like they can elsewhere, of course they get paid, but it still maintains privacy instead of handing it off to others. I believe ads could already be run in the apps. What would be interesting is if they compensate the app developer as if it’s from their page. They could also disallow apps from the same segment.
Okay, they will lose money and the market will speak. People will vote with their $$$.
That's some pretty strong language. How are these ads negatively affecting you?

Apple announces new low iPhone price
This is peak or even post-peak Apple. The App Store is mature. The iPhone is mature. Mac OS, the iPad, and the Personal Computer are all mature. All that's left is an attempt to monetize the rest of the Apple experience which will also Googlefy the Apple experience. And Google sells a cheaper product with Android ("free").
I am saddened by the evolution of hardware and software into an always on, rent and never own, privacy is not guaranteed model. I don't want to be data for sale.

Ads get in the way of the user experience no matter what the product is. I can understand Apple defending adding advertisements, but I can't for the life of me understand why Apple customers would defend it.
Just launched a new instance, I have 3 different Pi-Hole Physical locations 🤣.
Let's not neglect to mention the part where they blew up Facebook and everyone else's business model on iOS ad revenue under the pretense of protecting user privacy (after having petitioned privately over many years to get a cut) before they made the decision to insert their own ads in the only app store they allow on their platform, their own. Because privacy.
If I’m specifically looking for App XYZ and the top three results are three different apps then this does negatively affect me.
You cared enough to post in the thread about it though
