Are Ad Blocking Softwares Hurting Apple, Inc ?

The software giant has blocked Been Choice from its App Store so that the ad blocker does not hurt the company's revenue in any way.

Last week, Apple Inc. removed Been Choice, an ad blocker that blocked in-app ads on iOS, from the App Store. The tech company has recently announced to boost up the ad blocking business that has shown massive signs of taking over the ad industry and all the companies which are generally seen to earn from all such firms. The iPhone makers have decided to allow the availability of ad blocking apps to now be sold on the App Store, which will be allowing the users to experience an ad free surfing on the internet where all ads present on the browser will also be stopped and blocked. This latest update has been made to the newly update iOS 9, which has stirred up a feeling of fear among the companies that have been completely relying on business being carried out by the displaying of ads on the internet. Even though the giant has been receiving revenue from the ads as well, this step will still be taken by the firm. The main focus of this news is how the ad blockers are mainly going to affect the ad business that Alphabet has been carrying out lately, as the ad blockers will not be blocking the ads that are coming from the source of the iPhone makers, instead it will only be blocking the ads given by the search engine giant on the iOS software which is sure to give the tech giant some massive problems. The Been Choice ad blocking app that was blocked by the iPhone 6 Plus makers has been done due to the kind of technology that the app was offering to the users. The software giant discontinued selling the app in only a matter of few days, since the time of initiation. This app was found to be as a great one to block off ads on all kinds of browsers as well as on the mobile browser present on the iOS. The technology revolved around how the app kept a close look at the information coming in from the browser to filter the relevant ads accordingly. Even though the app wanted to still be there in the Apple Store to get bought, the giant seemed to have other plans as it ended all ties with it. Some analysts are also of the view that the software giant underwent such a change only to because it did not want an ad blocking app to hinder its process of receiving revenue from displaying ads on the internet.

Are Ad Blocking Softwares A Threat For Google?

The tech giant has been threatened with multiple ad blocking softwares in the industry and analysts believe that it needs to come up with different techniques to overcome the insecurity.

The analysts are observing the recent change in the ad business, which has taken the industry by storm, as a huge threat to tech giants that are known to be earning majority of their revenue from displaying ads on the media sites. One of the biggest companies, which are to be affected in a colossal manner, is Google Inc. Even though analysts are of the opinion that this evolution being observed in the ad industry could be slower than it is being taken, firms that are entirely dependent on it need to work in accordance of the change so that the loss could be minimized. Even though there are many people using the internet who do not feel the need to click on popup ads appearing on their computer or phone screens, analysts are discussing how there still are people who usually click on these ads, which is the only factor that encourages the online businesses to add in more ads to their site. This becomes a point of annoyance for people who do not wish to see the ads in the first place. Analysts also believe that this ad blocking black cloud that seems to be going around the industry taking up all the potential revenue these firms once received from the industry could possibly turn out to be disappointment in near future, given the number of ad blocking software being put up on the internet lately. Even though there are many people that do not feel the need to use ad blockers, the other half that now uses them regularly is due to many reasons. One of them is how the online businesses end up showing and displaying ads to the users, in which they have no interest, and most of the time they are even filtered in accordance with the personal information of the user. These unimportant ads then become irritable for the users at large and drive them to use different kinds of ad blockers and ad blocking extensions, which leads to a headache free browsing eventually. In 2013, the number of users which felt the need to opt for ad blockers in the first place was seen to be at 54 million users but the latest results show that in the start of the current year, the numbers were seen to come around 181 million users, which again is a huge number to be reckoned with. Even though Google business is a huge company, enough to be affected right away, analysts believe that it needs to work out a unique strategy in order to make sure this change in the market does not affect it right away.
