Apple Bans Home-Repair Ads From Maps, Keeps Medicine Discretionary

The policy takes effect July 14 and imposes two more outright ad bans beyond home services, covering entirely different industries.

  • Section 2.13 bans plumbing, electrical, locksmith, HVAC, pest control and roofing ad content outright.
  • Section 2.14 bans bail-bond ads; Section 2.15 bans cryptocurrency-ATM ads as well.
  • Section 2.16 leaves medical-services ads to Apple's own case-by-case review, no fixed rule.

Why it matters: A private company writing its own case-by-case exceptions is not a policy, it is a permit system.
