Apple's iOS 27 is blocking Trade Desk ads on Safari, analyst says

Wed, 30 Sep 2026 05:20:24 -0400

Apple devices running iOS 27 are blocking ads served by The Trade Desk (NASDAQ: TTD), according to a KeyBanc analyst note citing a report from AdExchanger.

iOS 27 expanded Apple's existing policy of blocking data broker domains that perform addressable ID matching and facilitate cross-site tracking. The update resulted in UID 2.0, a post-cookie identity solution used by The Trade Desk, being blocked on Safari. Apple also blocked adsrvr.org, The Trade Desk's core ad request and delivery domain for third-party cookies, effectively preventing all Trade Desk ads from being served on Safari.

The Trade Desk submitted a request to Apple's WebKit team

Tue, 29 Sep 2026 10:12:37 -0400

Investing.com -- Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) shares fell 1.6% today as Wall Street digests a stark warning from Bank of America: the rapid rise of third-party AI agents threatens to fundamentally rewrite the economics of mobile commerce, striking at the core of Apple’s ecosystem.

Tue, 29 Sep 2026 06:18:45 -0400

Morgan Stanley analyst Erik Woodring reiterated an Overweight rating and $360.00 price target on Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL).
