Many iOS users are dreading the arrival of Apple's new full-screen, in app video aps later this year. Most people who use their iPads or iPhones on a regular basis have already had enough of the current in-app banner ads from the iAds mobile network. The prospect of having to watch full-screen video ads before being able to use or exit an app has many iOS users looking for the cheapest Android mobile device on the market.
Apple has not yet said how long the new video ads will be nor whether they will be pre-roll, post-roll or intermittent-rolled during app use. The reality is that we will probably see a lot more people resorting to Jailbreaking their iOS devices in order to block advertisements if Apple decides to allow big-brand names to publish loud, long, full-screen advertisements that appear to serve only to hinder a person's ability to use an app.
No one is arguing that app developers need to earn a living and sponsored in-app ads are one way in which such developers can earn money for their work. However, do you really need to see full-screen, in-app video ads?
The iAd network was introduced in 2010 to allow app developers to earn some money from the iOS platform. However, the network has not been very successful, as many iOS users have installed AdBlock to avoid having to view any of the iAd network banner ads. It is though that the new full-screen video ads will be more difficult to block or avoid.
Apple are said to be introducing the new full-screen video ads in an attempt to attract new advertisers to the iAds network and to encourage existing advertisers to spend more money. As of yet, Apple has not released any details about the cost of the new video ads. It is safe to say that Apple will be hoping to attract many major advertising partners, such as Pepsi, Coca-Cola, Procter & Gamble, Nissan and McDonald's.
