Content advertising isn’t “on brand” for Apple, so this would be a bold move.

I think we passed that point after the ads in the App Store,News app, Books app, and Music app.

Agree they’ve being easing their way in for a while. My point was specifically about advertising within the content itself which would be a new line crossed.

Edit: actually yes they did do this with Apple News didn’t they! (Which is why I stopped paying for it).

Advertising in general has been a growing revenue stream for Apple from my understanding. That “anti-tracking” they added a few iOS versions back also conveniently increased Apple’s ad revenue because other advertisers didn’t get the same data that Apple would just have by default.

I’ve lost count of the volume of times I’ve been downvoted for stating that Apples transition to a services based company guaranteed they would become the enemy of every users privacy, regardless of all their virtue signaling about privacy.

Meanwhile, in the 2020’s you can not longer do offline dictation at all, on a several thousand dollar machine, without agreeing to sending PII and transcripts of all your dictations to Apple servers… You could do completely offline dictation a decade ago, on a machine that was about 1/10th as powerful.
