Ads are one of the fastest growing revenue sources for Apple[1], they are as much of an advertisement business as any other large tech firm. Ironically enough, you probably see more ads on an Iphone than a Pixel.

It's not in the logic of any capitalist firm to be settled on selling anything. They will sell everything they can to maximize value. Arguing about whether they'll settle for anything because you're already paying them a premium is mistaking a company for a person. When they stop Facebook from selling you ads, they do it because they want the slice of that pie.

A few years ago streaming services promised you to not see ads again for a flat free, now they all have an ad plan that costs as much as the old one and the ad-free plan costs more. Don't ever think one company is going to protect you from another one.
