In Xiaomi's Footsteps: Apple Adds Ads to iPhone and iPad

Chinese companies, especially Xiaomi, constantly hear criticism about advertising in applications and skins.

And recently, complaints have also poured in from owners of Apple products.

What's wrong

The ad was noticed by the senior editor of TheVerge Tom Warren. He started seeing advertisements in his iPhone settings. True, Apple does not advertise third-party services, but its own services - Apple Arcade, Apple TV+ and AppleCare+.

The appearance of advertising could be associated with the purchase of a new smartphone, but according to users, advertisements also appear on old iPhones and iPads.

By the way, this is not the first case - users began complaining about advertising in iOS and iPadOS a few months ago.

Recall that Xiaomi displays advertisementsin your Android MIUI shell. And Samsung, for example, has integrated advertising into the branded Android applications “Phone”, “Music”, “Health”, the Galaxy Apps application store, the Bixby assistant and Samsung Pay.
