According to reports from AdAge, later this year, Apple is planning to introduce full-screen in-app video iAds. Many people are calling the new ads "interstitials". This is because it is though that the ads will initially be used in news-style apps and game apps, and the video ads will play in between articles or after the completion of each level in a game.
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.
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.
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.
