> Apple's own ads product has tripled its market share since this launched.

Serious question: what exactly is "Apple's own ads product?" Where would I (as an Apple ecosystem user) encounter it?

Apple's ad program being referenced is present in its App Store, News, and Stocks apps, as far as I know. That said, Apple also uses their platform to push advertisements for their services/credit card, via push notifications [0], as well as in the settings app[1].

It's the app store paid placement, they specifically tout their lack of cross-site tracking.

Primarily the app store, which has a number of placements with sponsored content.
