"Now that we’ve established that Apple collects and uses your data to serve ads, does it sell your data too? Turns out the answer is No, Apple doesn’t sell your data to third-party advertisers. The Cupertino giant possesses the exclusive rights of showing you ads on the App Store and other apps."

ah, yeah i kind of consider that as data selling anyways. Not outright selling, you are right there. Selling in bulk would be dumb for these companies when they have ad networks in place, though. Its like the DRM for ads.
Fair points all around.

And by the way? I'm an android fan. Though Apple is more secure in some ways, I would much rather have control over my device.
