Reddit users thevincentasteroid and MMD3_ posted about an auto-playing video ad (with sound) on the home screen. The ad is for Chicken Tender Wraps from Carl’s Jr. When it begins auto-playing, it pushes all the other UI elements out of focus and goes almost full-screen, returning to the home screen after it has played through once.
Lmao no. The apple ecosystem is not the popular/trendy one, it’s the expensive one where devs must pay a license to publish their apps. There’s tons of open source apps that publish to the play store but don’t publish in the apple store because it costs them money to do so. I use several apps that don’t have parity in ios. TachiyomiSY, Wow (weather app that apparently was published to the iPad store, not the iPhone store…, it has no ads, customizable interface and it can connect to the local weather provider which is usually the most accurate), Notify (app that let’s me configure extra stuff on my MiBand), Boost (no, voyager’s interface sucks for me), newpipe(! There’s a newpipe in ios but it’s another app and has ads lmao).
Basically, if you want popular brand company apps, sure, they will be on ios, but I bet you they will be on android too, if not earlier because it’s free to publish and nowadays if we are honest you can develop a single app with react native and voilà, make it into a functional app in both systems with minimal effort. However, the difference exists on the open source apps, on the small apps created by small devs that offer stuff for free, those don’t publish into apple because it would cost them 99 USD per year just to be able to publish.
