    Well, that’s what I mean by “not really”, as opposed to “not at all”. It’s a single as placement - searching in the App Store. One result. No user data. That’s it.

    They used to have a real advertising business but shut it down some years ago, it was called iAd.

      Fair enough, and even if they did I think op in this comment chain was talking about monopoly level advertising so I guess my comment wasn’t really warranted either way.

      I’m surprised to read they don’t at least hoard user data. Very un-big-tech-like of them.
