Privacy focused? Oh, you mean how they pivoted when their Ad business failed.
Interesting description of Apple's business!
My comment was ironic...the "IMHO" was there for avoiding Apple fanboy.
Didn't their ad business fail because they refused to share/collect as much user data, and hence advertisers were less willing to spend on their platform?
Not to my recollection. They exited the Ad business because it was a financial failure. Do you really think Apple would have exited a business if they were on track to make Google like revenue from it? No way - the shareholders would have raided the building.
