If this means developers are going to be putting even more iAds in their free apps, I won't be buying them anymore.
Wait, what?

I don't really see why people think this is dumb.
I work for a digital media agency myself (and yes it is a ********* industry, but it pays the bills). Users are going to be served ads no matter what platform we use, be that Android or iOS. None of us like it, but that's something we can't change.
I'd rather be served an ad that's relevant to my interests though than something completely random and unrelated to me...
Given that iAd hasn't exactly been drawing in the Advertisers I'm with the other two. It'd need be something special, not just iOS limited. It'd have to be web-based, and we all know how poorly Apple runs web services.
This would be a disastrous decision by Apple. I'd have to strongly reconsider future iOS purchases if this happens.
LOL! You were only just recently considering buying a Nexus anyway. Your secrets safe with me...![]()

instead of less reputable alternatives like Google.
If true, this will be the most depressing Apple news since Steve's departure.
Please Apple, stick to what you do best; build great computers.
work for apple or have stock?
so the major player is the less reputable ?
Tim cook said at D11 - I dont want copying. Its a values thing. This is about values at the end of the day.
I know it was in relation to Samsung, but you cannot have it both ways..., unless your Apple it seems.
I would rather see Apple focus its resources on things that benefit its customers.
So now we are going to emulate Google
Stupidest idea![]()
Earlier this week, Apple CEO Tim Cook said at D11 that advertising was not a central business for the company, but Apple wanted to help iOS developers make as much money as possible.
All companies attempt to have it both ways including Apple. Why would you believe what any of them say including Apple.
