   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.

      Yeah I feel like this is the nuance that gets lost.

      I hate ads, but mentioning other first party services feels very different than selling parts of the system UI like a billboard.

      These service upsells should be dismissible but they seem fairly inoffensive. The App Store ads, on the other hand, are just atrocious
