One of the last great consumer companies is going B2B

its the only path to go to be able to continue to support their pricing models - they've priced the consumer/pro-sumer out of the market prettymuch and so B2B is the more sustainable paying population.

Apple always had a B2B component. This is just the latest attempt to not make it completely subpar.

This sucks. This page makes it clear this is the motivation for "Ads on Maps", as they talk about it prominently here - they are now directly selling the attention of their device consumers to their business customers.

I guess they were doing that before in the App Store, which is of course also awful.

Who will Apple serve? Users, Apple or their partners?

It has always been Apple > Users > Partners.

There's a reason why Microsoft is still the king of enterprises. Anybody getting involved with this with Apple will deserve everything thats coming their way
