Any chance TrueTone or NightShift is enabled on one of your devices?

The 30%/15% apple tax for in-app-purchasers is applied only to software, content or features. Physical purchases, such as a ticket, are Apple-tax free.

I won’t speculate about Apple’s motivations tho, as I am an Apple fanboy and will be annoying.

You are correct, this is default behaviour. Siri needs some time to train itself to understand what you want to do with your iPhone, so by default it just gives you random suggestions to see what sticks.

The text I quoted is directed at the developer of the app. I just used it as proof that AppClips can be suggested by Siri.

Technically this is not an ad, since as far as I know nobody got paid, but I agree that this is annoying.

In not too familiar with the App Intents and Siri Kit frameworks, which power these suggestions, so I can’t give you more details.

My guess is you’re near a location that has an AppClip (super small and fast app) and Siri thinks that this AppClip is useful to you. The idea here is that if you actually went to this museum/attraction you would want to buy a ticket, so Siri gives you this small app to do so (you don’t need to download the full app from the App Store, just press “open”).

To clarify, this is not an ad, but an unlucky Siri Suggestion and it does not invade your privacy.

From the Apple Developer website :

When your App Clip is associated with a specific location, you can register your App Clip to appear on a place card in Maps so people can open it from there. It can also appear as a Siri suggestion and in Spotlight Search as needed.
