>So just long tap and uninstall them? It’s not analogous to the Windows Start Menu showing ads you can’t turn off.
On the contrary, it's exactly analogous to Windows start menu ads as they are just icons that you can tap/right-click and uninstall, exactly like on Apple.
But I do love the HN double standards here:
Apple ads: "Pfff, just tap and uninstall, nothing newsworthy here."
Windows ads that you can also right-click and uninstall: "OMG, the audacity from Microsoft, let's up-vote every single FUD blog post about this while frothing at the mouth."
