When it comes to ads, Apple isn't playing coy anymore
Briefly

Apple has traditionally been a bystander in the advertising industry, leveraging its reach and ecosystem without fully engaging. However, its recent rebranding of 'Apple Search Ads' to 'Apple Ads' indicates a shift in strategy. Increasing economic pressure from tariffs on Chinese imports has prompted Apple to pursue advertising more aggressively as a high-margin, quickly scalable business model. This change reflects a broader trend of Apple transitioning from a cautious player to a more involved competitor in the advertising space, seeking to secure its financial future amidst uncertainties.
Apple has always wanted a piece of the ad pie. Apple's interest in advertising isn't new... If anything, it's history shows a company intrigued by it but cautious about embracing it too directly.
