Lock screen ads are a popular way for mid- and low-budget smartphone makers to subsidize costs, but Americans have largely been able to avoid them until now. Get ready for that to change.
Phone manufacturers know where you touch your screen the most often and put their shittiest apps in that spot so you accidentally engage. It’s the only reason I open up Google’s AI, because I did it by accident.
And don’t get me started on the inconsistent ways to go back. Sometimes it’s a button at the top left or right, sometimes swipe from the left, sometimes swipe down, sometimes up. I’ll stick with my android and a dedicated button, thank you.

Except Apple as it seems. They tend to routinely put essential interactive elements in the top left corner or so, farthest away from my right thumb.
On the other hand, Iphones don’t have sneaky ads hidden in the system, so there’s that…
Unless it’s in the top right for no good reason.
