"a majority of the apps will probably have commercial spots embedded within them"
The majority of apps on the app store already do. Free apps, ad-supported. Apple just wants the ads to not suck so much, but hey, nobody has to use iAds.

- ptomato 17y agoWell, Steve did flat-out say in the Q&A session today that they weren't going to require anyone to use their built-in services for any of that, and Apple doesn't really have a history of changing what they've said they're gonna do.
- telemachos 17y agoI don't know one way or the other about their history of going back on direct claims, and that would be a pretty sprawling area to get real data on. But they certainly do have a history of locking the phone OS down more and more and controlling it further and further. I really wouldn't put it past them, and I think today's a bad to err on the side of "things won't change."
