I prefer having as few apps as possible

so using the web is my go-to

i dont have reddit, on my phone for example.

Also, all those app icons are just "advertisement" every time you look at your phone screen... i dont need that.

if you REQUIRE me to use an app, then i'm only using it if i absolutely have to. (there's almost always an alternative)

You wouldn't believe the volume of actual advertisements that show up as push notifications on my wife's phone

These are so infuriating they should be illegal.

Especially when they come from apps you can't delete like your bannking app.

At least Apple has a rule against push spam, which they toe the line on but it's still a lot less bad than it could be.

not having a way to divide notification channels, transactional vs promotional, make it worse than android.

Explicitly promotional push isn't allowed on iPhone to begin with. Only exception is if the user enables it via some setting inside your app, separate from the regular permission dialog, which is really unlikely.

Of course you can just pass off promotional stuff as not promotional, but same on Android, and you have to be sly about it.

Or if Apple has a movie they really really want to promote
