This infuriates the shit out of me, and I'm a heavy Apple user and a Product Manager. The role of PMs is to be tastemakers, among other things, and I have no idea which PM wrote the PRD/6-pager for adding ads everywhere in iOS, but they should be fired immediately. This experience is the epitome of un-premium, and is a huge step towards there being no experience differentiation in the product between Apple and Android. Apple is able to charge significantly more than competitors for its products /because/ the experience has a premium look and feel compared to the ghetto that is Android. Turning iOS into a ghetto too is definitely not a reasonable product vision.
