  Where are you seeing this? I am a heavy apple user and dont see this. I do use those services, so maybe that stops adverts?

    I dont really care except about the icloud popup on my mac which is annoying. But notifications on the phone mostly for apple music sometimes appletv, preinstalled app for the watch and for apple home products, some guide popped up for apple home once, theres a space in the pull down menu for apple home I probably removed it, mail campaigns for new products i probably unsubscribed. Obviously a lot of copywriting in the app store. Anyway I already have the ecosystem so to speak so its not expensive relatively to just buy icloud but I have no need for it. Music is worse than spotify. Appletv I watched only for "for all of mankind".

    i've only ever seen ads for apple music and the new devices. everything else is an exaggeration imo

    When my phone’s eligibility for renewing applecare approached I got a red bubble on my setting app and there was no way to say “yeah, I got it but stop telling me” except by waiting for the eligibility to run out.

  Nearly every company does that. There’s nothing particularly nefarious about Apple here. This may surprise you, but Microsoft, Google, Samsung, Amazon, and nearly every other major tech company use similar tactics to try to get you to use their other products.

    Im not surprised I just answered in hyperbole because to not notice or pay attention to any ad surfaces or product placement in iOS, presumed if you use it often, I envy that level of mind filtering

      I have an ipad, an iphone and a macbook pro, and the only time i get asked to “buy more icloud” is when i’m running low. I got an add to try out apple music once when i got a device and maybe whenever i get a device i get ads for subscriptions, once. You’re exaggerating
      - Frummy 3y ago
        Yes I'm exaggerating I'm glad it was noticed I should make my next comment on this site sagely and confucian again rather than attempt hyperbole humor against the largest company in the world on a venture capitalist tech forum

      I don’t know of any mainstream computer platforms with any less of that sort of advertising. No, Linux desktops and de-Googled Android phones are not mainstream. I don’t understand why Apple is being singled out here.

  > Buy more icloud! Except you can’t get more than 2tb which is a joke these days, esp when you share with 5 family members.

    If you subscribe to Apple One you can add 2TB of iCloud+ to that for a total of 4TB. I agree that there should be a better way to do this though. > https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT211784 https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT211784

      Apple One Premier not available in my family country. Switching to my actual country disables TV/Music subscription sharing...

Besides all the Apple ads, Apple News is one such place where 3rd party ads exist prominently.
