> Infuriatingly for iOS users, the only way to disable these promos is to either let them expire — which in many cases could take weeks or even months, leaving a persistent notification badge on the Settings app in the meantime — or pay for the service being offered.

FWIW, it's quite easy to get rid of them. Repeat three times: tap it, then decline the offer. After three times, it doesn't come back.

Also, they usually seem to be for "free" things, like 3 months of free Apple Music included with your hardware purchase. Or reminders to set up Siri or Wallet when you first set up a new phone. Or to install an eSIM.
