It's a clever pivot by Tim Cook. He figured out that Apple is awful at selling advertising and has turned this into a marketing feature.
Steve Jobs was very excited about advertising, remember him describing iAds as a life changing experience that users would love? It completely failed, but hey.

- mrcwinn 11y agoIt is true that it is failed, and that video looks silly in retrospect. But it's also true that Apple has always had an entirely different business model than, say, Google. This isn't a new "marketing feature." Apple has never sought to make large sums of money by selling user data.
- qwerty-- 11y agoRepeating a lie that Google sells user data doesn't make it right. Stop getting brainwashed by Apple and learn facts and learn how Google makes money. It doesn't sell your personal data.
