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.

    You’re only slightly annoyed by an ad that requires you to subscribe to a service with a free trial, then cancel the trial, to remove?

    And I thought any ad on a $2000 product was too much, even it it was as simple as closing with an X

      It’s pretty whiny to downvote someone who’s clarifying a misleading article.

      Yeah, it’s only slightly annoying because I rarely look at settings and when I do it takes a microsecond to scroll that tiny extra bit past the single line item.

      There are a million other things in the world to get bent out of shape about. This is an utterly ridiculous hill to die on.

        But if you want to call the article “misleading” and “utterly ridiculous” to criticize them, then that’s over the threshold from odd opinion to bad prescription
