Facebook tests pop-up for iPhone users before ad tracking update
Kurt Wagner, Bloomberg News VIDEO SIGN OUT
Facebook Inc. is testing a new full-screen prompt for iPhone users about the social networkâs data collection in an effort to get ahead of a similar pop-up that Apple Inc. will soon require as part of an operating system software update.
The iOS 14 update, which hasnât been rolled out yet for iPhones and iPads, will require app developers like Facebook to show users a pop-up asking for permission to âtrack you across apps and websites.â If users reject the request, it will be harder for Facebook to show those people targeted ads, which make up the bulk of the companyâs revenue. Facebook executives have argued the pop-upâs language is alarmist, and worry that it will discourage people from accepting it.

Jan 29, 2021, 17:31
Strong iPhone sales boosted Apple China s record revenue last quarter with “a record number of (iPhone) upgraders,” Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook said today.
Apple became the world’s No. 1 smartphone vendor last quarter due to increasing iPhone sales and decreasing sales for Huawei, which is facing strict United States technology export control, according to researchers at IDC and Canalys.
In its first fiscal quarter that ended on December 26, Apple China’s revenue reached a record high of US$21.3 billion with 57-percent growth year on year.
In the fourth quarter, Apple took the leading smartphone position with a market share of 23.4 percent, selling more than 90 million iPhones, a record high. Its market share is followed by Samsung with 19.1 percent, Xiaomi’s 11.2 percent, Oppo’s 8.8 percent and Huawei’s 8.4 percent, according to IDC.
