How is that even possible? I use Apple products daily. iPhone, Mac and an AppleTV, where is Apple ad network even a thing? I see someone mention the stock app in macOS, there's typically an ad in the App Store search (which kinda suck) and then there's the in app ads. In app has ads are pretty much a give away that the app is going to suck, so I don't bother with apps that doesn't have a price. If nothing else the ads will always look misplaced and detract from the UI, making me want to use it less.
My point is: You see so few ads in the Apple ecosystem that I seriously question if those $3.5B is correct. Still, I'd prefer no ads, and I fear that Apple will be forced to ramp up the ads, once the shareholders see it as a major profit center to be exploited.
