Sounds like my kid from the back seat every time I drive him anywhere.
0·1 year agoThat’s not an ad. It’s the App Store storefront. You have the App Store as a widget in standby mode. It did that because you may have recently used App Store.
All you have to do is hold your finger on it until you get into edit mode, and then tap the minus sign to remove it. More info here:

Ap: “-Not interested.”

It’s not an ad. It’s a Siri suggestion.
Siri suggestions are just recommendations from the Siri search engine, based on your input. Since the device was new out of the box, it didn’t have any decent input yet so it just looks like a “random ad”. After using the phone for a while, the Siri suggestions will be more in tune with your habits (like your favorite traffic app for commuting, your upcoming calendar events, etc).
Apple doesn’t sell advertising space on their Home Screen.
The first generation of Apple leather cases were great. They definitely aged beautifully. But the latest versions were not good.
Every Mac I’ve bought in the past 20 years has been via Apple’s refurbished section of their online store. Full warranty, current or recent gen models, good discounts.
Apple Maps has never steered me wrong, and I like how it pings my Apple Watch so I don’t have to even look at the screen.
Plus no on-screen ads, like 3rd party apps do.
Whoever said “there’s no such thing as a wrong opinion” never encountered a post like yours.
Touch-screen gestures are the best part of having a touch screen, and Apple’s implementation of such gestures is so well-received it’s been licensed and borrowed and imitated by all of its rivals.
I can’t imagine having a touch screen without swipe to scroll / pinch to zoom / press-and-hold for pop-ups, and so on.
It completely eliminates the need for physical buttons or on-screen real estate being covered by fake buttons.
All that being said, have you explored iOS’s robust Accessibility features? Geared toward people with limited abilities / handicaps, you can modify how some gestures respond and even add on-screen buttons in some ways. It might be worth checking out.
Go to: Settings -> iCloud settings (your name at the top of the Settings screen) -> Password & Security -> Automatic Verification (at the bottom)
I dislike LD because it’s too hyper.
