From the linked article:

>In the News and Stocks apps, the display ads are no different than what you might get on an ad-supported website (see above). [...]

>On the App Store, display ads are currently shown in the search tab in the Suggested panel. Apple will also soon expand ads to the main Today tab and within third-party app download pages. Search ads in the App Store are a bit different: Developers can pay to have their app featured in results when a user searches terms like “car racing” or “basketball,” for instance.

that's in content, not in a system or app menu. totally different.

Except one of those "content" apps is the only way to install software.

There is an obvious difference between ads in a store and ads in a start menu.

I don't know of any app store (where you can pay for apps) without ads.

... The app store before that change?

It's also showing ads for the cloud service in the settings app and will create notifications for apple arcade and apple music.

You're either already a customer or you'll get ads, so yeah. iOS has ads for quiet some time now.

It's just as unnecessary and annoying as Microsoft shilling for their annoying windows drive and office

So Google's business model of having ads in the search results was problematic even before they started spying on the whole world to enable larger profits from targeted ads?

Also in the Apple Tv app. It suggests movies/shows to view next that require a purchase.
