Analysis: Apple Search Ads now account for 58% of iOS app installs from an ad click, up from 17% a year ago; Apple to earn $5B from its ads business in FY 2021 — iPhone maker's share of mobile app advertising market has tripled in six months — Apple's advertising business has more than tripled …
Discussion:
Patrick McGee / @patrickmcgee_: Chart of the Day: @Apple's advertising business has more than tripled its market share in the six months after it introduced privacy changes to iPhones that obstructed rivals, including @Facebook and @Google, from targeting ads at consumers. *A Thread* https://twitter.com/...
Matt Stoller / @matthewstoller: Yes what Apple did was anti-competitive but the app promotion ad market is much smaller than the mobile ad market. https://twitter.com/...
Eric Benjamin Seufert / Mobile Dev Memo: How has ATT impacted mobile advertising?
Ben Thompson / @benthompson: Remembering every so-called competition expert who praised Apple's ATT changes, while accusing people like me raising the red flag about how blatantly anticompetitive it was of being paid shills for Facebook. Fun times. https://twitter.com/...
Michael J. Miraflor / @michaelmiraflor: Well well well. That “Privacy” marketing campaign showing its true colors. https://twitter.com/...
Dare Obasanjo / @carnage4life: Apple's “privacy” changes have tripled the market share of their advertising business as they've made ads on iOS less relevant thus forcing advertisers to flock to App Store search ads. They stand to make $5B this year and now own 58% of app install ads. https://www.ft.com/...
Jason Kint / @jason_kint: Pretty insane how this report is being shared and mobilized by the facebook and adtech influencer networks across twitter. I do also fortunately see hints of people questioning it, too - the savvy that understand why it threatens facebook are much stronger these days. https://twitter.com/...
Derek Thompson / @dkthomp: Amazing chart. Part of the appeal of the *metaverse* is that Facebook etc want to build proprietary hardware that delivers their software, bc Apple is demonstrating how relying on other firms for distribution creates the potential for chokepoints. https://twitter.com/...
Jason Kint / @jason_kint: This is an entirely misleading headline. Any decently informed reader would read it as apple has tripled its market share of the mobile app ads business. It's not. ht @MarietjeSchaake /1 https://twitter.com/... https://twitter.com/...
@antoniogm: As we've talked about more than once over here at Pull Request, Apple's hard stance on privacy is principled and disruptive...and also utterly in line with its advertising ambitions. https://twitter.com/...
Sebastian Siemiatkowski / @klarnaseb: I wonder, how many senior execs of major companies are nervous about retweeting this? The potential repercussions it might have for our businesses? Rationally I don't believe Apple would ever care what I tweet. But the massive dependencies will make people nervous @PatrickMcGee_ https://twitter.com/...
@msuiche: And some people really thought that Apple genuinely cared about Privacy & Security. https://twitter.com/...
Rep. Ken Buck / @repkenbuck: It appears Apple's privacy changes might be a front for growing their advertising business, and hurting their competitors. https://www.ft.com/...

Dan Gillmor / @dangillmor: This is important journalism from CJR and the Tow Center — right-wing wealth and religious (Catholic in this case) partisans funding local “news” sites. https://twitter.com/...
Kevin Loker / @kevinloker: Good to see more exploration from @acookiecrumbles of local “pink slime” Catholic “news” sites and how they operate.
