  the article is talking about how they could have a booming ad business but at present have little to none

  The Cupertino tech giant is not an advertising company, however. Chatterjee notes that Apple’s decision to only show a single Search Ad in its App Store could limit the revenue opportunity relative to his prior expectations.

  Well, that’s what I mean by “not really”, as opposed to “not at all”. It’s a single as placement - searching in the App Store. One result. That’s it.

  They used to have a real advertising business but shut it down some years ago, it was called iAd.

    Fair enough, and even if they did I think op in this comment chain was talking about monopoly level advertising so I guess my comment wasn’t really warranted either way.

    I’m surprised to read they don’t at least hoard user data. Very un-big-tech-like of them.
