Now granted, it’s to upsell a service that’s integrated with the product you’re using, but it goes to show Apple products no longer simply sell themselves without intrusive ads.
- Gigachad 4y agoI always immediately dismiss these headlines because people lump feature highlights in the same category as 3rd party banner ads. It reminds me of the /g/ trend of calling everything from crash reporting to automatic updates a botnet.
- prvit 4y ago> but it goes to show Apple products no longer simply sell themselves without intrusive ads. Is that ad really more intrusive than all the TV ads Apple has run over the years?
- Apocryphon 4y agoThose, and the iOS settings embedded ads, and the News+ notifications are also intrusive and irritating. I don’t even think it’s indicative of Apple products slipping in quality. I think they’re just so services oriented these days product discoverability is difficult, but also modern Apple has no shame marketing from within.
