Apple has a measurement platform called the SKAdNetwork, which apps use to pull some data from iPhones to track ad performance. Apple also is developing its own ad products, particularly in search advertising. Apple helps app developers place ads when consumers browse the App Store, showing ads in results similar to how Google and Amazon return ads in their search properties. Apple&#8217;s critics have even accused the company of leveraging privacy concerns to benefit its own advertising ambitions. Apple does not reveal how big its ad business is, but a recent report from Toni Sacconaghi, a Bernstein analyst, estimated Apple\u2019 ad revenue grew from $300 million in 2017 to $4 billion in 2021. That\u2019s only 2% of Apple\u2019s total yearly revenue, which mostly comes from device sales and services.<\/p>\n<p><meta charset=\"UTF-8\"><\/p>\n<p style=\"border: 0px; font-family: CJ-PalatinoLT, PalatinoLT, serif; font-size: 1.125em; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 1.4em; vertical-align: baseline; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 15px 30px; box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0); letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.3); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none\">Yet amid a malaise that afflicts much of the city, entrepreneurial energy remains evident.
