        "content": "<p>Jakarta (ANTARA) - Apple has officially announced that the company\nwill introduce advertising within the Apple Maps application available\non iPhone and iPad. The advertisements will be shown to users in the US\nand Canada starting from summer 2026. Citing a Macrumors report on\nTuesday (24\/3) local time, Apple stated that advertisements can be\nplaced by business owners in the US and Canada to appear in the search\nresults section and at the top of the \u201cRecommended Places\u201d section. \u201cAds\nin Maps will appear when users search in Maps and may appear at the top\nof users\u2019 search results based on relevance, as well as at the top of\nthe new Recommended Places experience in Maps, which will display\nrecommendations based on local trends, users\u2019 recent searches, and\nmore,\u201d stated Apple regarding the advertisements. Apple promises strong\nprivacy protections, particularly regarding users\u2019 personal data. One\nform of this is Apple stating that users\u2019 locations and the\nadvertisements they view and interact with in Apple Maps will not be\nlinked to the user\u2019s Apple Account. \u201cMaps with ads is as private as Maps\nwithout ads,\u201d said Apple. Furthermore, the company stated, \u201cWhere you go\nand the ads you see and interactions you make are not linked to your\nApple Account. Personal data remains on your device, is not collected or\nstored by Apple Ads, and is not shared with third parties.\u201d The\nintroduction of advertising in Apple Maps will clearly help further\nincrease Apple\u2019s services revenue, but this step may disappoint some\ncustomers who dislike the presence of advertisements. Business actors\ncan place advertisements in Apple Maps through the new Apple Business\nplatform. More details are available on Apple\u2019s website. It is not yet\nknown whether this feature will be expanded to other countries.<\/p>",
