hasn’t been updated in years. maybe at all? not a big surprise.

and now it’ll be pile of e waste in a few years. that’s progress.

as i said, “if you’re deliberating between apple and Google” which is how this conversation started.

yes I agree, fuck ads, but fuck targeted ads even harder. The point is if you’re deliberating between apple and Google based on the ads, apple is still not as bad as google. it’s not a binary ads vs no ads issue.

fart sniffer

the difference with google is they’re collecting and montetizing all that data on you whereas apple is doing non-targeted ads.

Yes these ads suck, but they are not targeted ads based on your entire history of personal data which is google’s entire business. these are ads shown based on your current location in the maps app. theoretically everyone in your vicinity is getting the same map ads.
