Apple could eventually bring ads to more of the apps that come pre-installed on your iPhone and other Apple devices, including Maps, Books, and Podcasts.
ATT gives users the option of disabling the tracking tools advertisers use to display targeted ads. It may have contributed to the overall growth of Apple’s advertising sector, as it has left businesses scrambling to reconsider their advertising strategies. According to data that Insider obtained from research firm Omdia, Apple’s advertising business grew 238 percent to $3.7 billion in 2021.
iphones suck
I hate Apple so much. When I briefly worked in web development I had to use a bunch of Apple devices and there wasn't a single upside to the experience. Overpriced laptop with a shitty keyboard, a garbage mouse, and a single USB outlet so that you have to use a hub if you want to do literally anything besides charge your computer. All of the super innovative interfaces and input methods were faulty garbage that I constantly had to work around.
I work in retail now and I'd love to go back to the (relative) pay, ease, and comfort of web development, but the only thing that would make me pause is having to use those candy-coated devices for babies.
