I mentioned cable service one pays for yet you still see ads. What's the difference if it's a service or a device? Sure cable and streaming services are optional but your not watching a whole lot in the way of content on your TV without them.
No one is required to use Apple Pay/Wallet and the fact it can't be uninstalled is not really relevant to anything. It was mentioned a setting is coming to disable those ads even if one is using the free service.
As far as I know those disclaimers are in the end user agreement. No one reads them. LOL It could be a pop-up message but most would just "click" past it. Regardless, everyone already knows they will see ads on their devices at some point and should not be surprised.
There is a lot of intrusive advertising out there. Just walk outside your house and go anywhere and your eyes will be assaulted with ads. That is something I wish would be regulated more. TBH I see zero ads on my PCs (Linux and ad-blockers FTW!) and ads on my phone and tablet are very limited. One ad from Apple Pay/Wallet (that I have not seen on my iPad) is not even making my top 100 concerns.
I have Windows 11 on only one machine; it will stay that way for the foreseeable future. (Windows Vista and Windows 10 are the predominant operating systems on these machines).
Every browser has that functionality, pretty standard feature.
Except with others they have built in ad-blockers (like Brave) or full desktop grade ublock extension (Firefox)
