Ads don’t matter unless they are intrusive. Most part Apple does well, but Apple News is the worst


You ran out of space on your iCloud account! Now your phone won't be backed up and your data will be in danger! <spooky sounds>


What part of that isn't a legitimate and valid warning?

I've had multiple relatives with broken/stolen phones who lost very important photos because they were no longer being backed up.

You can always turn iCloud backup off if you think notices that the feature is failing are annoying, but the notices themselves are hardly misleading.


I'm sure the CTA to pay for upgraded storage included in that warning is just a convenient coincidence, eh. I don't like the dark-patterness of it - it feels like blackmail.


lmao is this the newest excuse? Ads don't matter because it's Apple who runs them?
