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

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.
