> I would argue that Apple is at least in some ways structured so that its own self-interest regarding privacy results in positive privacy conscious outcomes for everyone.
Is it though? I thought they still had an ad network so I searched a bit to find it and how it was itself impacted by this button to find this:
So they only got ads on their store, perfectly fine, and it seems to be impacted as the button does say All advertisers. It even seems to show what information they use on the store, seriously that's well beyond what I was expecting A+.
And then I saw "Turn off location-based ads". Weird the first screenshot didn't have that checkbox... It's hidden in System Service, who really go there to set Advertising setting? Even more so while you got the perfect place already on the perfectly logical "Settings > Privacy > Advertising".
Their self-interest regarding privacy aren't aligned at all with yours. They are just trying to make the most buck out of you and they found one more profitable than ads. For location based ads, it seems like they still believe it will bring them more cash.
That means that the day ads will be back as the most profitable way for them, you'll be back to square one ;) with just much less competition. Good luck!
