A classic mistake Apple has avoided. The Mac is not numerically their big platform but it’s key to their ecosystem so they have not abandoned it.
Also Azure sucks compared to most other cloud providers so that’s not a basket I would put all my eggs in.
- ativzzz 4y agoAren't Apple starting to roll out more ads in various places?
- bleep_bloop 4y agoInside of the Appstore on iOS
- raydev 4y agoAnd within the Settings app.
- Tagbert 4y agoWhere in Settings? I've not see any ads there.
- amake 4y agoThere are occasionally ads disguised as alerts, such as when you're running low on storage space it will suggest that you buy a paid tier of iCloud storage. I think I have seen other ad-adjacent messaging for other paid Apple services but I can't think of any off the top of my head right now.
- Tagbert 4y agoThat isn't really what most people think of as ads. Nothing that requires tracking or ad sales. Offering services within your app isn't really the same as selling banner ads and video rolls.
- r00fus 4y agoCompared to what they had 5 years ago? Yes, albeit limited in scope. Compared to Microsoft? It's several orders of magnitude smaller.
- Tagbert 4y agoCurrently Apple has ads in two place. The News app and the App Store. - banner ads inside of the Apple News app. Similar to what other news sites include but fewer ads. - App Store home page - at least some of the apps featured there are paid placements. - pay for placement listings on the App Store. When you do a search, the first result or two is a paid listing. - App Store app page with "you might also like" lists at the bottom of the page.
