Hi, I just unpacked an iPhone and I noticed this weird widget that was pre-added to my home-screen. Looks like it is ads! Is this a new normal behavior for Apple?

    I mean, you can easily turn it off by deleting that pane. All it’s doing is showing you a nearby point of interest, which isn’t a targeted ad scraped from your browsing habits. Pretty benign in my opinion, and I’m about as angrily anti ad as they come.
