Ads served from Apple will slide through private relay like a lubed sausage through an oil pipe.Hmmmmm. Maybe this is Apple’s way of forcing private relay?

Core values for apple is making money, people never understood that everyone online will always be for sale, apple also loves to sell usage of their trademarks but that so called walled garden in privacy and data would not get the cash flow apple would had wanted so sacrifices had to be made, it sucks yeah but big tech is all the same, no one’s really different.There should be zero ads on a platform sold to us as being the very opposite of the revenue model used by the likes of Google and Facebook. Apple needs to be reminded of its core values. Apple is now fully in the grip of the operations division rather than the design division. No wonder the design team is losing people. Jony Ive's departure is making more and more sense.
I'm going to play devil's advocate here (so take this with a grain of salt). What if this is their way of getting ahead of the regulations and getting ready to make up for the "hits" they'll take because of it? The push to allow alternate app stores could hurt Apple's App Store revenue. Handling payments outside of the App Store...also a hit to revenue. How do you make up for that? Ads. I wouldn't find it a coincidence that all of the "open" platforms in existence already all have ads. The one closed platform suddenly is adding more and more now that they're being forced/scrutinized to open things up.Apple are playing right into the hands of regulators. Why? well look at it this way. Apple are putting ad's in the app store, there is only ONE app store which means anyone that purchases a premium priced iphone has no choice but to put up with ad's. There is no other app store therefore iphone owners have no option but to put up with ad's.
I am not going to buy a $2,000 iphone and be told I have to put up with ad's in the only place I can download apps. This means ad's are being forced upon customers and they have no choice but to put up with it. Many countries regulators will be looking into this carefuly I think
Apple Maps never gained anywhere near the popularity of Google Maps, and evidently Apple wants to keep it that way.
That’s good news, as I can’t stand ads. I don’t mind the occasional email from Apple pitching their services, but placing ads in the new weather app for example is just wrong.
"Salespeople should use "audience refinement" instead of saying "targeting," "platform" instead of "algorithm," and "competitor keywords" and "brand defenses" instead of "conquesting.""
This is why 2022 (and onwards) will be like 1984.
They all probably use android phones hehehe. Joking aside, has anyone seen any of Apples top executives personally using their own iphone? Yes they are most probably seen at work using an iphone but what about outside of working during their private time, what type of mobile phone do they use?Well of course they would be unhappy, they and their families will also be negatively affected by this move as well. Apple employees will be asked by their family members how to stop these ads from appearing and they’ll have to say you can’t stop/disable them. I just wonder if Tim and other Apple executives will have the option on their iPhones to disable the ads? If they do, they better hope that information never gets out.
Oh? Dynamic ad insertion you say…. The ads at the beginning do sound abnormal for the rest of the podcast (it’s a daily news commentary podcast), and the podcaster inserts their own ad read, so the generic ad at the beginning sounds very out of place.
I guess dynamic ad insert is switched on by the podcaster?
exactly. At least Google gives you the services for free and their hardware is cheaper.Apple increases the price of the entry iPad, effectively nudging their customer to the next-in-line, even more expensive iPad. Apple increases subscription prices. Apple ramps up their walled garden ad business. Greed seems to be the current business plan. I feel like I should start using services outside the Apple garden, so I’m not trapped when the Apple experience no longer warrants the premium prices.
Problem is complaints without action are pointless. Quit if you don't like it. Stop buying Apple stuff if you don't like.Let’s hope this gets enough complaints that it dies off like CSAM.
Heck for me drop your ad budget and make your product cheaper and that willl make me buy it over the competitionI've been getting more ads on YouTube/Twitch/Twitter/etc than ever before, and much like cable tv all it's accomplished is making me use all of those much less than before. I know I accidentally caught a coke-a-cola ad for 2 seconds out of the corner of my eye but that's just not going to get me to subconsciously buy your product...I haven't had soda in like 20 years. Just make a good product and I'll buy it if/when I need it, ad spam only makes me hate you preemptively.
Exactly they are just as greedy as the rest of the company thenIf by as the headline says, the employees aren't happy, they could always leave Apple to show how unhappy they really are. They could give up their salaries, tenure, bonuses and stock options and do the right thing, which is quit. That they are unhappy doesn't make them rational.
Outrage fixes nothing, and is largely ignored. Constructive and rational criticism is what causes real change.Outrage is what fixed stage manager/ battery sign etc etc
Ads are a big no no. Baiting and switching will cause many to start thinking about leaving the ecosystem
Yep, it all looks the same on the scorecard. Whether you buy Apple because they are the best or least worst, the shareholders are still happy.The Apple that won me over in 2007 died in 2013. I’ve just been holding on because they’re less bad than the competition.
Money ALWAYS drove the business..... don't be silly.Does not take a genius to figure that out. No ambition to grow as META or Google? Money is driving the company now. This is Sculley 2.0 and we all know how that went.
Kindle uses this model. It would be interesting to see their split of people who buy which (and how many later pay to remove the ads)Wonder if they've done any market research that people would rather have ads than pay more for the product without ads? Maybe the 15 Ultra will tout no ads?
…CSAM was complained about and went away.Problem is complaints without action are pointless. Quit if you don't like it. Stop buying Apple stuff if you don't like.
