Those who are a bit tech minded – consider adding DNS filtering on your home network (using pi-hole or something else). It has drastically changed my web experience for the better, including across iPhone apps, smart TVs and other surfaces where ad blockers can't help.

I see this advice a lot but I can't imagine it working better than using a system level adblocker like AdAway on my phone. (Smart TVs I understand, though mine seem to be unusually ad-less compared to what I've heard Samsung does).

What if you're out and about disconnected from WiFi? What if you need to turn the thing off for a sec to click on a sale/promotion in an email?

Not sure - I haven't owned an Apple device since an iPod circa 2007.

Do iPhones still really not have a way to block in-app ads?

https://1blocker.com/ Is a system wide ad blocker. It’s not uBlock Origin in terms of coverage, but extremely close and it work on all apps.
