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

      Indeed. Apple does give you control over notifications, in their different forms, so just turn them off.

      Having said this I have the app installed since forever and notifications turned on (useful for order status, shipping notifications etc) and never got a self-promoting notification like that. I wonder if it is a regional thing (I’m in Europe).

      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.

    Everone is doing this now.

    Android pushing their VPN and storage. MS pusing edge and office. Samsung just install what they want when they want.

    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.
