ADS HAVE LANDED IN APPLE MAPS, AND THEY ARE AS BAD AS EXPECTED

Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

Apple has begun rolling out ads in Apple Maps across the US and Canada, showing sponsored locations before and after searches. While Apple says the ads are privacy-focused and don't use personal tracking, critics argue they still risk undermining Apple's privacy reputation and make its premium products feel less premium by introducing advertising into built-in apps.
