    I really don’t get this. Apple is trying to sell you 2 or 3 addons that are really beneficial and great products that make sense.

    I don’t need them, I don’t buy them.

    But I really appreciate there being a button at a place that logically makes sense and that gives you the opportunity to make more out of your device.

    AFAIK you can click them away.

    It’s not as if there are intrusive popups or as if they are trying to sell you blackmarket ware.

      I have a subscription to Apple+, 2 TB, $40 month plan.

      I'm still getting the ads to upgrade my storage. Can't dismiss it. Why?

        $40 for only 2tb? Extortion.

          Nah - Music, TV, Fitness etc all included. All shared with the family (and extended family) so it doesn't have the friction of piecemealing it all together, which I value more than anything.
