Apple pushes their products often on iOS and many of them can't ve turned off or can't be turned off easily.

So you have notifications that you can only get rid of by engaging with the Apple ads.

Yes, the most egregious of which being the setting app.

Its an OS setting app. Its the most fundamental bundled application in an operating system, second only to maybe the file manager or package manager. Is nothing sacred?

  • lol I was actually thinking of the setting app in my comment. I agree, it bugs me every time I pick up my phone.

    It's gotten to the point where I resist looking at my iPhone because I'm going to have to take up my brain space with the unwanted notifications. I'm not sure what it is but on Android it's less pushy and I can clear all notifications with a single click. So most of the time my new iPhone sits in a drawer and I use my old Android as I go about my day.

    • Hmm, what notifications do you get from the Settings app? I don't recall ever getting any. And you can clear all notifications with a single tap on iOS.
