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?

Yeah I second that it’s just a Siri suggestion. Mine suggests apps I use at a certain time of day or the traffic level at the time I normally leave for work. I think yours is just showing an attraction that happens to be geographically close. If you unboxed next to Yellowstone National park it might have popped up something about visiting a geyser. It’s only an ad if you consider seeing things near you ads.
