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?
When you click on it you get redirected to the app-store to download this ticket app

It’s been explained a few times so I won’t repeat what others have said.
But I actually wish App-Clips were more common. I hate having to download a whole app for a one time payment for some company.
I did finally see one for a car park the other day.
I’ve only ever seen one when I’ve been pretty close to the merchant.
This is just a coincidence and not an ad. You happen to be very near that location. As I say I’ve only ever seen one when I’ve been within meters of a merchant that had one. I assume it’s Bluetooth range.
I agree, the only time I’ve seen this is when I’m at the location of restaurants which have app clips - which I don’t consider to be an ad as I’m already at the restaurant. It is unfortunately that not many places have app clips as they are much more privacy preserving than downloading entire apps with one thousand analytic/tracking frameworks.
