title: How does Apple's website autoplay videos, if autoplay is disabled in iOS?
body: <p>As I keep reading, there is no way to enable HTML5 video autoplay in iOS browsers.</p>
  
  <p>So why does my older iPad (with iOS 8) autoplay this introductory video from e.g., <a href="http://www.apple.com/ipad-air-2/" rel="nofollow">http://www.apple.com/ipad-air-2/</a> ?</p>
  
  <p>When inspecting this on desktop Chrome, I pause at a certain point and see that a script inserts a <code>&lt;video&gt;</code> element with a mp4 file, then removes it after animation finishes. I've examined their script file as well, but did not find a definite answer to this.</p>
  
  <p>I wish to clarify that I do not initiate any action other than opening the url. I have purposefully avoided every contact (no tapping, touching, etc.).</p>
  
  <p>Could someone with more video experience explain this?</p>
