Since the question is specifically about what Apple could make developers do, I’ll say this: enforce the App Store guideline rule about not using push notifications for advertising.
I very rarely enable push notifications on apps anymore because so many use them for spammy advertisements. This makes apps less useful than they could be if notifications were used responsibly.
If I remember correctly they’ve since removed that rule
I hope they require a separate toggle for promotional notifications.
In an ideal world, Apple intelligence will take care of this. But it’ll probably just highlight more important notifications while everything else is still there a swipe away.
It’s still there, although there’s a loophole of course.
4.5.4:
The “explicit opt-in” could easily be language hidden in a massive ToS that nobody reads. So I guess I wish Apple would do away with that entirely and start enforcing it.
