Possibly due to far fewer ad blockers on iOS devices compared to desktop and Android. Also, the demographic of iOS users might be more likely to buy things. Just speculating.

Google has banned ad blockers from its App Store, so I would say iOS actually has much higher ad block usage.

No snark: I didnt realize that Google even banned apps from the Google Play Store. Is the ban on adblockers effective? I associate Android use with a free-for-all in terms of apps.
