I wonder how Apple will spin this. Are they going to say they stepped away from iAds because it was a conflict of interest with the "moral contract" they had with their users or are they going to admit the truth and say it was a financial failure.
- plg 11y agoeither way I'm happy about it
- wklauss 11y agoThey will probably say nothing. Not a significant business for the company and the iAd program continues, just changes the approach because they didn't have any traction.
- Bud 11y agoThey've already admitted, "It's just not what we're good at."
- bitmapbrother 11y agoWhich leads me to the question what would have happened if iAds was a financial success? Would Apple still have abandoned it or would they still be two faced and preach to the press and public, at every opportunity they get, that they're pro-user, but conveniently leave out the fact that they sell advertisers access to their users profile.
