Apple's advertising operations are not transparent, but they do collect a ton of information about every user.
Google pays Apple ~$15B a year which is surveillance advertising revenue.

2. Just because Google pays someone money doesn’t mean they have a surveillance advertising business. Google buys chairs, computers, food etc. That doesn’t mean these suppliers have surveillance advertising businesses.
Face it. It’s just a falsehood.
Google's main business is surveillance advertising, and they pay Apple for the privilege of surveilling their users and returning them advertising. I am sorry but I do not know what else to call it other than surveillance advertising.
Here is a study showing that Apple collects data from Iphone users pretty much the same as Google does from Android phones. https://irishtechnews.ie/trinity-study-privacy-concerns-abou...
Apple has a $5B advertising business of their own. I would be naive to think they do not use any of the data they collect about individuals for their advertising. Their closed source platform and business practices does not enable us to verify what they claim. I have plenty of other resources of information about this, but it is pointless to share if someone does not really want to see it.
Not true. Google is accessed via a web browser or via their own app. Google doesn’t have to pay to access Apple’s users. They pay for Apple to make them the default search engine in Safari. In this way, Google is paying apple to advertise their service, but Apple isn’t doing any surveillance.
> I am sorry but I do not know what else to call it other than surveillance advertising.
Yes, Google’s business is surveillance advertising. To claim that Apple has a surveillance advertising business because they receive payments from Google, is no different from claiming that the company that supplies toilet paper to the Googleplex ‘has a surveillance advertising business.’
> I have plenty of other resources of information about this
If you had a resource that shows that Apple was doing surveillance advertising, you would have presented it by now. You obviously don’t.
