They don't show ads yet. Once operating systems started integrating ads, I became increasingly cynical.

Ads are the current end game for anything with access to user eyeballs. Just give it a few years, until whatever devision needs some way to squeeze a little more juice out of their revenue projections

>They don't show ads yet. Once operating systems started integrating ads

I've never seen integrated ads on any of my Macs during normal use outside a web browser, and in iOS specifically it's always been a thing, whether built-in to the OS or a third party library. But since including, what is it called now, AdKit? I haven't seen any unusual ads in the main UI other than in the usual use-cases in apps or the web browser.

I highly doubt it in apples case. It would be a complete 180 for them. Android? Sure. But Apple has spent years reenforcing the message that they don’t monetize your data in the same way that android does.
