Apple Patents Ads Based On Your Bank Balances

The United States Patent and Trademark Office has awarded Apple a patent on targeted ad technology based on how much money is in your bank account.

Just when you thought Apple wasn’t integrated into your life enough, the company just won a patent for a system that targets ads based on how much money people have. This is the same Apple that’s promised not to monetize your data. As Tim Cook said last year: "You’re not our product." Until you are, apparently.
