I am equally annoyed by all of Apple’s dark patterns. Every time I update iOS I know I will have to go through a dozen of modals nagging me for Apple services. Android and iOS are in a race to the bottom in term of user experience and privacy invasion. Should I be happy that microsoft is keen to join them?

I just don't see these "intrusions" when I upgrade iOS. What are you referring to?

Setup icloud, setup apple wallet, setup apple music service, etc. And then I am getting nagged again regularly for apple music service when playing my mp3s.

Well, maybe so. I use those things because they work really well for me, so I don't see those ads at all.

I suppose one could avoid ads for AM by using some other music player, though.
