It is the second major case Google has lost in a year, after it was found to have a monopoly on online search.

      Apple doesn’t really have an advertising business. You can criticize them for many things, but it’s hard to fault them for a market they don’t operate in.

          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. No user data. 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.

          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.
