David Hanak Recently, there has been some trouble with Apple. Over the past few weeks, users of iPhones and iPads have started receiving unsolicited notifications that promote or in some way inform about news and changes to Apple products. Similar parktics were previously unthinkable for the Californian company, but lately the mentioned cases are appearing more and more often.

In the previous month, there were other notifications from Apple Music, but also from the Apple Store application, which alerted to discounted programs when buying new iPhones, or to discounts on the HomePod wireless speaker. The imaginary icing on the cake was notifications alerting users to new episodes of Carpool Karaoke - these appeared even to users who had never watched this show from Apple before.

Apple has only started using spam notifications to a greater extent in recent months. In some cases, these are completely understandable events. For example, when a notification arrives about the launch of a new buy-back program for members of the Apple Upgrade program. In other cases (see Carpool Karaoke above) it smacks a bit of unsolicited nagging. In the last week, advertising notifications for new bonuses for the App Store began to appear in the United States.

Why did my phone just send a notification via the TV app that a new carpool karaoke episode featuring Kendall Jenner is out??
1) I have never watched an episode of carpool karaoke
2) I give no fucks about any Kardashian or Jenner.
3) I have never used iPhone's tv app— ?????? ?????? (@meagan_wilcox) December 8, 2018
Foreign journalists speculate that these new practices for Apple have something to do with poorer sales and stock market declines. Apple uses notifications in a similar way as an advertising newsletter. In some cases, the content of the text is identical. It can therefore be expected that this is not an isolated phenomenon, but a possible form of a new marketing strategy that Apple will start using in the coming months.
However, the new marketing practices do not concern us too much, as we do not have an official representative of Apple in the Czech Republic and the vast majority of the above actions do not apply here. However, this is happening in other countries and Apple will likely continue to do so. Would you mind unsolicited "advertising" notifications from Apple? Or do you think this is just a marginal issue?
Just write it in full, he started sending out SPAM.
Of course it sucks. That's mainly why I had an Apple. I know there is no one else, but there is also the last option :D
