that's why this is similar malware - only much (much!) worse since it
comes from Apple directly.
I'm not sure I would call this "malware", but I see that you are
comparing it directly to what another user said.
I'm not thrilled about Apple pushing advertisements on my phone, but
that F1 advertisement wasn't the only one. There also was one for an
Apple credit card right next to it. Fortunately clicking the little x
made them both go away.
That reminds me, Microsoft has many of these advertisements on its
Windows 11 platform and I'm fairly sure Samsung pushes them on the
Galaxy phones. And now streaming services like YouTube, Netflix,
Peacock, Hulu, etc. also force you to watch advertisements unless you
pay for a higher tier of service.
I don't like the Apple advertisements, but honestly I didn't even know
these two were there until I read your article.
