  • They should, at least, not show ads for Apple One subscribers. This pisses me off.

    Ads in the App Store don’t bother me. Purchasing things is part of it and I rarely use it. But, ads in utilities that I use every day is too far. If they put ads like these in Music, Safari, Mail, etc., they’ll definitely lose even some die-hard Apple users.


















  • Funding

    Main financing has come from Goldman Sachs and venture capitalists such as Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen’s Vulcan Inc., Rockefeller’s Venrock, and Richard Kramlich’s New Enterprise Associates. The Government of Russia, through the joint-stock company Rusnano, invested in Tri Alpha Energy in October 2012, and Anatoly Chubais, Rusnano CEO, became a board member. Other investors include the Wellcome Trust and the Kuwait Investment Authority. As of July 2017 the company reported that it had raised more than $500 million in backing. As of 2020, it had raised over $600 million,which rose to around $880 million in 2021 and $1.2 billion as of 2022.
