Ads on your mobile phone are one of the most annoying things to encounter. If you're using apps for free, there's a good chance that you will be greeted by an advertisement every few minutes (just like YouTube's two ads policy in longer videos /rolleyes). However, Apple is trying out something new and depending on how your point of view is, it may be a good or bad thing.

There are some people who consider tablets like iPads as mini productivity devices, which is why an external keyboard can be useful sometimes.
