There are promoted apps in the app store, ads within news articles in the News and Stocks apps, and Apple also advertises their own services like Apple Music and Apple News and Apple Arcade etc. in some places, particularly on first use of some apps. Nowhere near as egregious as Windows, but still a bit disappointing.

  You... open the app store... to look for applications? I only go there to search for an application that a trusted 3rd party source mentioned.

  Sounds like this space is ripe for disruption. You could do a whole white supremacist App Store with Klanstagram, Fourteen Little Words (a "pure" dating app), and Save Our Marriage (an anti-LGBT mobile game).

    Why not neither? Why not just keep appropriate ideas in appropriate contexts instead of feeling the need to colonize and proselytize, only to be shocked at the backlash?

  Why would you ever open the AppStore? It's a wasteland.
