Apple will be showcasing its expanding advertising portfolio at Cannes this year. This includes adverts in the App Store, Apple News, and Apple’s streaming content offers.
Services revenue, which includes advertising-income, increased by about 5% annually to $19 billion in 2022. Apple has hired ad executive Lauren Fry to help create a video advertising business for Apple TV+, and the company is also developing a demand-side platform.
Advertising accounts for around 40% of the company’s annual revenue, but the company’s branding places a premium on user privacy, which has complicated mobile advertising ecosystems.
