How many of the Apple fanbois are aware of this, plus pihole or blocklists are something not easy for not-so techie iOS users (and this user base is huge).
Actually my query was more to do with the fact that why are folks waking up all of a sudden ? My understanding is that it is not something new or did something really change ?
Buddy, no one is crying here. Just stating some hard facts on apple's shortcomings & general behavior among their fan base.
It does remain to be confirmed. I can't believe it until then
As per the rumors, it will be in bundled apps. Ads are already there in stocks and news apps. This may come to podcasts and book. One can still disable personalized ads by opting for not to track.
Why would any body will place there add on Apple and unless and untill they are able to (earn)profit for it ???
The MIUI integration is borderline Spyware though. Ads aside, I still remember the time when searching for an item on Aliexpress led to same recommendations landing in MIUI. The same extends to the complete usage history, so like Facebook, but just worse because it ends up in China's data mining network.
ok so Apple is going to sell users' data and serve them fewer ads than they would see on other platforms
There's no limit to human greed!!
One of the largest market caps.

Investors always wanna see new avenues for profits. This was a natural extension. Capitalising on this large fan base.
Microsoft went down that road a long time ago with promoted apps and ads across Windows. Everyone else like Netflix and Disney are also doing the same. It has become obvious that people are more concerned about upfront costs and don't really grasp transaction costs, something that made free-to-play games with micro transactions so popular.
