At this level, having an ad-supported tier of a streaming service is fairly widespread — Netflix and Disney Plus bought them final yr, whereas HBO Max’s advertisements plan launched in June 2021 — and in hiring Fry, it seems Apple is transferring ahead with plans to ultimately run advertisements alongside reveals like Ted Lasso and Severance.
