Brave on iOS doesn’t have rewards because of apple’s App Store policies

This is indeed infuriating. People earning BAT while allowing ads does not translate to users giving a 5-star rating to Brave in exchange.
Apple and other apps have bounty programs that too give users cash, though on different grounds. Other crypto apps have airdrops which I believe are permitted.
Apple is an extremely conservative company that hasn’t understood the crypto business model and prevents others from executing it. Maybe Brave should be made available on third party app stores that Apple will allow in the EU?

With Apple soon to allow third party app stores and potentially loosen restrictions on things on iOS, this should definitely be looked into
