  • Apple is expanding App Store search ads with more placements starting in 2026.
  • Currently, there's one ad spot at the top of search results; new ads will appear further down.
  • Advertisers can't choose specific positions; ad placement depends on bid amount and auction ranking.
  • Billing remains cost per tap or install, and existing campaigns will automatically qualify for new spots.
  • The ad format stays consistent across all positions, using default or custom product pages.
  • Apple highlights strong App Store engagement: 800M weekly visitors, 85% download rate, and 60% ad conversion.
  • New ads will support iOS/iPadOS 26.2+ and launch in 2026.
