Opt Out – [HOWTO]"},"content":{"rendered":"

In April, Apple announced it would be moving into the advertising business by selling its own adverts for use with its iOS platform. They’re calling these ads iAds, and with $60M worth of committed sponsors looking to trial the new ad platform, its looking like iAds is going to be another hit for Apple. <\/p>\n

But what about the consumer? What about us? The people who matter. The people who buy Apple’s products in the first place. Do we really want to be force fed these adverts? For the most part I’m guessing you would answer no to that question. Wish there was an opt out? – today, you can! <\/p>\n

A new section on Apple.com located here<\/a>, which can reportedly only be accessed on a device which is running iOS4, allows the user to completely opt out of Apple’s iAds campaign. <\/p>\n

Okay, not completely. In fact, reading Apple’s support document<\/a> on the opt out reveals you’re hardly opting out of anything at all, really. <\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

So much for the opt out, Apple.<\/p>\n
