When does Apple ever send push notifications other than software updates?

I recently switched from Android to iOS and it irritates me that Apple push their own product multiple times a week. It might be because my account is new but at least once a week I get notifications of the free year of apple tv and apple arcade without any way to disable this (if you guys know of one please respond)

Besides the notifications I think it's a dark pattern from Apple to actually show a red number badge above the settings app when there is no actionable item except the two things mentioned above.

I call bs - unless you've invited the notifications

I've never gotten such a notification in over a decade of running iOS

I agree that would be a dark pattern, but you can dismiss the offers and the red badges go away.
