iPhone users fume at Apple over bizarre F1 movie advert
iPhone users on social media are expressing their anger over an unwanted ad from the Apple Wallet app promoting “F1 the Movie.” Complaints flooded online after the app sent out a push notification for Fandango, offering tickets to the film. Despite the tech giants’ massive investment in the feature film showcasing their products, customers are not impressed with the marketing strategy. The debate continues on forums with users criticizing Apple for abusing the Apple Pay notifications, branding it as “gross” and “infuriating.” While there is an option to disable the feature in iOS 26’s beta build, the majority of users are left with no choice but to deal with the intrusive ads. The F1 movie, starring Brad Pitt, Damson Idris, and Javier Bardem, has created anticipation but also faced criticism for its portrayal of female characters, potentially alienating parts of its audience. The movie was released in the UK on June 25, with US fans awaiting its premiere on Friday.
