Any Futurama fans here?

Leela: Didn't you have ads in the 21st century?

Fry: Well sure, but not in our dreams. Only on TV and radio, and in magazines, and movies, and at ball games... and on buses and milk cartons and t-shirts, and bananas and written on the sky. But not in dreams, no siree.

There is a definite increase though. Look at America's favorite pastime, Baseball. Now we have "Corporate Ripoff Park" instead of a park named after someone who is actually a hero of the sport. The same can be said for advertising in schools, television and radio. Look at the tactics now being used by the large TV corps. to prevent users from fast-forwarding through commercials. Or consider the tactic of radio stations *speeding up the content* so they can fit in more ads. The quality of media has certainly gone down, while the advertising within has increased. Coincidentally, I've just returned from the Allied Media Conference...

Bringing this back to Apple... That's one of the reason's I love Apple so much. Sure, they're a corporation like the next computer company. However, they spend time on the quality of the marketing, not the quantity (we've all seen the joke film of Apple vs. Microsoft packaging). You don't have to beat people over the head with something to get them to appreciate and/or desire it.

Anyway, back to the OP. I think his concerns are valid.
