uninstall Apple Store, which comes pre-installed in iOS, to stop getting these notifications

edited post. The original description & title was me complaining about this notification thinking it was default behavior of iOS, not knowing it came from the Apple Store

    Have you considered turning off notifications for the Apple Store app or deleting it from your phone? Both are extremely simple solutions. This is a non-issue.

        That was added after myself and another user pointed out that OP’s issue is entirely user error and the app can be uninstalled or notifications disabled. Did you even read the rest of this thread? OP clearly admits they didn’t know anything we’ve said was possible until after our comments.

          Ah I didn’t see the post was edited. My bad. They didn’t admit anything though. They just said they wish they could jailbreak their iPhone and that it was “fair enough” that they screwed up when they bought an apple product.

            Yeah mb. I realized my error after their posts and edited my post to be more informative, but that made the original commenters who pointed out my mistake look bad. I’ll make another edit.

      I’d you’ve never experienced iPhone pre-orders, this is a fantastic feature. You make all your selections now and save it. So when it hits 5am PDT you open the app and tap the order button and you’re done.

      Before this you had to do everything when it went live and the system almost always either went down, times out, or was slow.

      Years ago we’d wake up in the middle of the night and spam refresh to get it to load. I’d you didn’t get it order within the first 15 mins you wouldn’t get it release day. One time I put my order in 30 mins after pre-orders started and I had to wait two weeks after release. The demand was that high.

      Better yet: find another argument instead of telling people to stop using the things they like or cannot use an alternative

        But that just won’t solve their privacy issues. The apple eco system is not privacy friendly at all, so why act like it is and let people continue to do stupid thing when they want privacy?

    Microsoft does it, why shouldn’t Apple? I’m kidding, of course. None of them should advertise within our systems.

    I just use the Apple Store website when I need to buy something or get an appointment at the Genius Bar.

    No app needed.

    Hunh, I was about to tell you how to turn off notifications. And saw that my notifications are on for this app. Settings> Notifications > App Store. And even with it on, I didn’t see this notification. LoL, now I’m scared to turn it off. It’s ok, I’ll be strong.

        So it is. And my iOS is set to remove apps I don’t use, by way of saving room for cat pictures. So I never even noticed it’s existence. Yay, me.

    If you uninstall the app store, then you’re locking your phone into whatever state it’s in when you do that. Just turn off push notifications.

    Edit: also I don’t see how this is related to privacy.
