It looks like the only thing Apple isn't doing is ACR. They still say that they track what you watch and sell that to 3rd parties though. Now that Apple is in the targeted ad business and even filling iOS with ads I suspect it's all downhill from here.
Filling iOS with ads?
From just a few weeks ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49801939
Maps, the App Store, and the Apple Podcast apps are great examples of this.
It infuriates me that Apple Podcast slips in ads for podcasts I have no interest in as suggestions. As far as I can tell, there’s no way to disable that “feature”.
Don't forget Safari. Most of the sites I visit in Safari are absolutely jammed full of ads.
