I am really lately hating my android phone and the targeted ads disguised as "Article I might be interested in" in the google now section of my phone.
I'm tempted to switch to an iphone but I realize the same problems exist over there too. We need a new mobileOS....with blackjack
@Mrmcmisterson i have had iPhones for forever now. The only place i see ads (that Apple has control over) are the one bar in the App Store now, which didn’t happen until what 2 weeks ago. Every other ad is within an app itself or online.
Even Apple News doesn’t have ads. Nor do any of their exercise or music apps (at least not that I’ve seen)
@svotay
Apple News has ads but only in the articles
@mashi right, but those aren't apple's ads, they are the news sources', since it's redirecting to their page (afaik).
