It will be interesting to see how this plays out. Apple is (indirectly) going after any ad that they themselves don't power with iAd. Is that even considered "fair", in a legal sense? Seems pretty anti-competitive.

It's a different domain. Content blocking only applies to Safari. iAd ads only appear in third party apps if the developer chooses to use them. They could also use a different ads provider. That's not affected by content blocking because it's not a web page inside Safari.

  we don't know their plans for the future. as long as it is a webview, they own it.

    The future doesn't apply today. Today, webviews don't implement content blocking. GGP appeared to assume webviews did implement that.

That's complete nonsense. They're providing content blocking in Safari. They're not blocking in-app ads, which is the area that iAd competes in, so they're not harming any iAd competitors.
