This is the bullshit I'm talking about in another thread. No it doesn't. Telling you about icloud which is like an inherent feature and partially the reason some people buy their phones is absolutely in no way comparable to actual ads.
Do you know what has ads in settings? Xiaomi. A relative bought one and I helped him set it up, and you literally had to see an ad to listen to your ringtone!!!
If people bought their phone because of iCloud there's no need to advertise it to them.
What's really annoying on iOS is that persistent notification badge to "finish setting up your account" even when I choose not to use some apple services.
