The Apple announcement delaying IDFA took place at 1PM. So Wall Street thinks this has zero effect on value of Facebook and other big tech companies. pic.twitter.com/zHv17PMYj6

I agree. Apple is clearly giving devs and the industry time to review how they can explain those methods of ad tracking to their customers without loosing engagement numbers. But it is sad that the industry is so far gone that informed customer consent has become a detriment.

Apple is delaying an iOS 14 privacy feature. Developers will have more time to adjust before users will get prompts for ad tracking https://t.co/sDh1pmnWwk

Apple has told developers that it plans to delay enforcement of a controversial change in iOS 14 that would upend how ads are targeted on its devices, sources tell me. This is the same change that Facebook warned would impact its ad targeting last week. https://t.co/3pgqNcKF2T

Apple statement: “We want to give developers the time they need to make the necessary changes, and as a result, the requirement to use this tracking permission will go into effect early next year.”

IF true, there are a lot of really smart people breathing a sigh of relief today.

businesses are angry that apple... will let consumers decide if they want to be tracked by advertisers. And now Apple is capitulating at least for a few months https://t.co/LrRwGFAzgi

Be great if @Apple would care as much about keeping their customers happy and safe as they appear to care about keeping Facebook happy and safe.

Apple often announces changes to its operating system mid-year, sending entire industries scrambling to adjust. Sometimes, it then delays those changes and adjusts policies if there's enough of an outcry. https://t.co/iNYYQzY5iR

If Apple did this to trick infrastructure providers into starting preparations, it totally worked. https://t.co/8Vo14ADLGh

The idea that Wall Street knows how to value the impact of technical decisions from Apple on the ad tech marketplace is somewhat optimistic. ?

the change to iOS that I've been working on accommodating for the last month was pushed back to next year and I feel like the kid in the class given an assignment extension when I was going to be the only one to finish on time

Looks like the tracking permission requirements in iOS14 (coming this year) have been given a grace period for developers to adjust - enforcement delayed to 2021.https://t.co/y17Gh91hWb

Oh, Apple... you sure like to shoot yourself in the foot every time you get some good PR going https://t.co/uj67Zz433O

Apple has confirmed it's giving developers until next year before it enforces the opt-in IDFA changes upon them https://t.co/VA1hLC0mSw

Still unclear if Facebook's planned workaround — tldr, it thinks it can not use a code that identifies your iPhone, but still delivered targeted advertising — will fly w/Apple. Apple won't comment specifically on Facebook's proposal, but making noises that suggest thumbs down.

Apple is reportedly delaying the “allow this app to track you?” iOS 14 permission dialog until next year because companies got sad. https://t.co/dxOmS4J7Tb

I was just officially told by my employer to go drink, I guess now I have to concede that having a real job can be less bad than I expected

While I understand this is disappointing for many users, this change is going to mean layoffs for a ton of developers, my company included. Almost all of our revenue is from ads, and that suddenly getting cut in half will hurt.

Maybe the real story all along was Facebook and adtech complex’s lobbying and misleading arguments rather than the possibility of the delay itself. Evidence was in Facebook CFO warnings. https://t.co/B97zlMWhyR
