Advertising on my iPhone is NOT what i want. I will gladly pay for things without ads. Same for in app purchases on “free; apps.
When is Apple going to extend iAd to MAS apps?
Remember when Apple was focused on giving users the best possible experience, not cowtowing to Wall Street profit demands?
I don’t want full screen ads (or any ads) on my iOS devices, either. But what did you think Apple was going to do when it acquire iAds?? Shut it down and given the money back to the shareholders?
The best that we can hope is that Apple keeps its iAdvertisements under control and limits them from being too intrusive or annoying. But Apple is going to continue selling iAds. As consumers, we need to let Apple know when they are approaching the limits of acceptability.
