I need some general advice on IOS devices and App Store.

iOS and iPadOS

Hello All
I am very new to IOS development and the Apple universe and as such need some advice from others who have more experience.
I am currently converting some of my Android apps to IOS they are some way away from being ready to publish and this is the subject of my first question.

What is the most acceptable way of presenting apps? i.e limited version with ads and a paid full version or in app purchase to unlock features?

Is there a metric to see how many downloads an app has had available in the App Store? as it is readily shown in the Play Store.

Is the speed increase of every iteration of the ipad about 2 times the last model? and is the ipad3 still considered relevant?

Is there a BETA testing service? or what is the best way of doing so?

and yes i am a blind developer and intend on making accessible apps for all...
Many Thanks.

Test Flyte is how you do beta testing. It's an app that allows preauthorized testers to install your app, even though it is not available in the store.

Personally, I prefer freemium apps. Because we on this site have all been burned by inaccessible apps, I'd rather try an app to see if I can use it, before plunking down my money. Even if that means I can't use all of the app due to in app upgrades.

Thank you for that and now for adverts does Voiceover handle adverts well? as Talkback on Android does not.

Is this the main list / forum of Blind / VI IOS users?

Once again Many Thanks.
