There are people who think that in the marketing anything goes. I think it can be done almost: anything, as long as users do not bother us. And that is what Apple could do if what we have seen some users is repeated frequently: some users have begun to see iPhone 6s advertising in the App Store. But it is not the typical section that talks about applications that would be great on the latest iPhone, if not a window that appears in full screen talking about the iPhone 6s.
If this appears to us on any other web page or service we would call it SPAM. If Apple does it in its own application store we will call it ... SPAM. It has no other name, unless we only see this type of advertising once each time we install the operating system, as it also happens with Apple's own applications: they tell us about them, we download them (or not) and no longer We see that window again with the Cupertino applications.
I saw this pop-up window, which is very reminiscent of the Apple Store iOS app image, last night. It appeared to me on the iPhone 5s and it has iOS 9.0.2 installed, so it does not appear only in the latest version of iOS that came to us last Tuesday. It has also appeared to users who have iOS 9.1 installed and the only thing that all cases seem to have in common is that the iPhone that accesses the App Store uses a iPhone of any previous model, appearing even to users who have an iPhone 6.
Logically, advertising of this type is somewhat annoying, so I only hope that this does not become a norm for Apple. Almost anything goes in marketing, but annoying customers shouldn't be an option.
Well, nothing comes out of me ...
It came out to me yesterday, but I did not give it more importance, I removed it and that's it, it does not seem so terrible to give it the importance that everyone is giving it, maybe someone did not know about the new iPhone and it will help them .
Hello. I have a 6s plus, and for a few weeks every day that I enter the app store, the pages, numbers and keynotes apps appear. I already know that apple exists but if I have not downloaded it it will be because I do not need it. It bothers me a lot that I have to press cancel above to continue to the app store. From what you tell, it is the same as what comes out of advertising to you but with another product.
It happened to me today, with a cologne ad, when I entered this page.
Annoying is the damn advertising of this page in the mobile version, it is insufferable.
The advertising on this page ... That is really worse than drugs, not to mention the videos ...
Why don't you use blockers? I have the advertising of this site blocked by intrusive.
It is not comparable. You must have paid for a device in order to see the ad I am talking about here. Apple isn't going to go broke if it doesn't advertise anything on the App Store. Blogs do. The Apple thing is like paying for an application and on top of seeing advertising. It's like charging you twice. If blogs like this charge (Eye, I do not ask), no publicity would be needed.
In order for it to be comparable, the users who see the advertising would have to have paid to access the website. Actualidad iPhone In that case it would be charging users and advertising. That is the problem and what I am complaining about here, having paid for a device and on top of that seeing advertising. I'm not complaining about the advertising, but about seeing it after paying. Both things have to be fulfilled.
A greeting.
In this case it also appeared in an even more remote version, 8.4.1 on an iPhone 5s.
