Apparently, from their perspective, it's OK to cross that line:
* It's not your notification area; it's theirs -- they control what shows up on it.
* It's not your operating system; it's theirs -- they control what it does.
* It's your not phone; it's theirs -- they control what you can do with it.
It could get worse. I imagine it's only a matter of time before we start getting ads inserted within our personal messages (e.g., "click here to read the rest of your mom's email"), or asked to click through ads to change phone settings like display brightness, or even forced to see ads before we can use the phone to make non-emergency phone calls. Their imagination is the limit!

- delecti 11y agoThat's not just an advertisement. I always make sure to have an email signature on my phone that lets people know I'm on a phone. Specifically it says "Sent from my phone, excuse any brevity or typos." Sending a response from your phone should carry different expectations, so I consider "Sent from my iPhone" to be entirely forgivable.
- takeda 11y agoThis could make sense if they would give phone away for free, but if one pays for it, one expects the phone to be fully his/hers.
