Apple introduces end-to-end encryption for backups

Curious. I use maps all the time. What ads are in there? Or is this a US only feature?

(I don’t use stocks and news isn’t available outside the US, or atleast Singapore/Taiwan.)

No ads yet, but they say they're planning it. If we all complain loud enough maybe they'll change their mind, like they did here with encryption.

For a maps app I'd imagine it'll be more a case of businesses will be able to 'boost' themselves to people in the area. Slapping big banner ads across a maps app isnt going to generate much ROI given most people will be using it in carplay mode.

I'm not sure that there are any ads right now, I guess Apple will plan to expand their business by adding more ads in the near future.

Best to just be cautiously optimistic I suppose. It’s not like there’s much choice.

for real though, people are such apple fans, even if they charge $500 a month there are people who'd still pay
