Do We Really Need Apple's New Full-Screen, In-App Video Ads?

By Adam Musa


According to several reports, Apple is planning to debut full-screen, TV-like video commercials that launch automatically on iOS devices, including the iPad and iPhone, later this year. The iAds mobile ad network will be used to manage the new video ads.



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.

Apple has not released a concrete statement about the up-and-coming full-screen video ads, but it is assumed that the video ads will be designed so that they are not too intrusive. It is unlikely that the ads will just suddenly start playing when an iOS user is in the middle of carrying out an important task in an app. The video ads will most likely be designed as post-roll or pre-roll units.

It is not yet known whether Apple will sell these new full-screen in-app video ads via ad exchange auctions or directly to advertisers as bundled commercial packages with a guaranteed number of views for each ad bought.

The truth is that Apple need to be careful to ensure that they do not annoy too many iOS users with these new ads, which many current iOS users are dreading. There are now many mobile devices available in the marketplace and if an iOS user is bombarded with intrusive video commercials whilst they are trying to use apps, several market research surveys suggest that the user will change to a difficult mobile device.
