Has there been any store in the history of stores that didn’t have advertising though? News has half the stories being corporate PR anyway, stocks app I’m not familiar with but it’s another version of a store.

I feel these are pretty benign uses of advertising on their platform(s):

- Apple TV shows ads about shows and movies

- iOS tells you about system upgrades to help battle the constant inevitable security issues

- Mac OS tells you about the latest Mac OS if you’re not running the latest Mac OS

And I can’t think of any other ads Apple has sent my way.
