Apple Wallet pushed a promotional notification for “F1 the Movie,” offering a $10 Fandango discount on multiple tickets.
Affected iPhone owners complained they can only disable notifications or card benefits, with no opt-out for offers in current iOS.
iOS 26 beta introduces a toggle to disable “Offers & Promotions” in Wallet, indicating more marketing is planned.
Users compared the push ad to past unwanted Apple marketing, such as the U2 album and iOS settings ads.
Apple has heavily promoted the film across platforms but did not respond to comment requests.
