Do you wish to know what happened at the event? Let’s get down to some bullet points to enlighten you.

 
» Apple Arcade

Apple Arcade is Apple’s service like food delivery or Netflix-for-games. The service will be launched on September 19th in around 150 countries. The cost of this service will be $4.99 per month for a family subscription and they also offer a 1-month free trial.

» Apple TV+

Apple announced that this year they are working on an on-demand video service. They are going to provide it with original programming from folks like Reese Witherspoon, Oprah, Jason Momoa, and others. However, they have not said anything about the launch date.

The company also declared that Apple TV+ will be made available to people on November 1st and it will also cost around $4.99 per month for a family subscription.

And of course, the new iPhones, iPads, Macs and Apple TVs will soon be made available in the market.

» The new 10.2″ iPad

With the announcement of the new launch, iPad moves into its seventh generation. The previous iPad 9.7″ model is being upgraded to 10.2″ and will be launched soon.

The new iPad will be having a Retina display, a smart connector on its side to connect it with a full-size keyboard accessory and it will also be able to work with the first-gen Apple Pencil. And if you are a big fan of TouchID, well, they have still kept the home button for you.
The price of this iPad will be $329.

» Apple Watch Series 5

Apple watches are always on display. Previously, the Apple watches were turned off automatically when you lowered the wrist. But the new watches will not turn off the display unless you deliberately turn them off.

However, when the arm is lowered, the brightness decreases and the screen’s refresh rate falls down to one refresh per second, but the complications and watch faces stay visible.
Apple claims that the battery should last for around 18 hours per charge.

Apple Watch Series 5 will be priced at $399 or $499 for the cell-enabled models. The shipping is expected to start on September 20th. There are different models like aluminum models – including colors like silver, gold, and space gray. The stainless steel models include gold, space black and polished, whereas the titanium model includes brushed metal, brushed space black and ceramic.

It’ll come in different colors including black, green, yellow, purple, red and white, and will be priced at $699.

The second iPhone that was launched was iPhone 11 Pro/iPhone Pro Max:

• The Proline iPhone has three cameras, preferably over two: a 12MP wide-angle camera (26mm f/1.8), a 12MP ultra-wide (13mm f/2.4), plus a 12MP telephoto camera (52mm f/2.0). All three cameras can shoot 4K at 60FPS.

Apple has always been popular among the audience and the world goes crazy when it comes to the launching of the new Apple products.

What’s new for iPhone App Development with iPhone 11 launch?

 
Now let’s check what this announcement means when it comes to app development and how will the new devices and the new operating system affect the plans, offerings, and revenue when developing for the iPhone x.

» The groove in portrait:

It didn’t take much time for the people to lose their remnant over what they called the groove or the casing edge which projects into the iPhone X’s luxurious, larger screen.

If we consider the early designs the groove will conflict with the central part of the status bar. The developers who use the status bar within their apps in the middle part need to go and revisit the older versions and make upgrades if they wish to have the apps perfectly displayed on the new devices.

Though it is not going to be a huge change you need to make your technology partners remove the texts shown on the central part of the bar.

» The groove in landscape

The critical impulse might be to modify your apps by appending borders, brackets, bezels or any other features that remunerate for the groove and the rounded edges. Apple has previously arrived and explicitly asked developers NOT to do that as part of their HIG. Although many developers are already ignored the advice and started coming up with some creative ideas for getting around the notch.

» The groove on web

According to an interesting observation, it could be seen that without additional code, a lot of the web’s pages will naturally display white bars on either side of the page content.

It will be easier to add a particular code in order to use the full size of the X’s screen. But perversely, with this method, it’s almost assured that the notch will sometimes become an obstacle.

» The home button is withdrawn

Another foremost feature that has received people’s attention is the removal of the home button. The home button has always been a standard on iPhones right from the beginning.

If your apps are developed using iOS native components they will be able to customize themselves to the new operating system and position correctly. However, if they are not, you might have to consider development with iOS native or you might need to reconfigure your app to get it working .correctly

So, if you wish your apps to be workable on the newly launched Apple devices, make sure you have the latest technologies to support your app in the long run.

Here we are going to talk about some of the top announcements made by the company during the event, and how it will impact the iOS app development and Apple’s immediate competition as well.

We will also discuss what this means to the future of security and how it will impact digital era (iOS app development).

» Apple News Gets an Update

This is an extension to the Apple News app already present in the Apple phones. They are planning to add magazines to the application, and upgrade the app to Apple News Plus. You will have to pay a monthly fee of $9.99 to gain subscription to the news app in the US and Canada. This amount is for the entire family, with the first month being free.

What is special about the News Plus? For one, you have live covers for the magazines that give you an interactive feel. Secondly, you can check for the highlighted stories that are listed on the app as blurbs. Finally, the news app will recommend the top magazines and stories for you. you don’t have to make efforts to download the new issues; they will be automatically downloaded. You can use your subscription to read up to 300 magazines, including The Wall Street Journal and Los Angeles Times. With Apple News Plus, your advertisers won’t know what you are reading, and won’t be able to target you with specific ads. Your privacy has been taken care of.

While this may not seem to be an Apple like innovation, the news subscription offers the kind of security and privacy people are looking at today. You will see that most of the news subscription apps in the present times pose to be a threat to the person’s privacy, as it automatically shows off what you are reading and what you may be interested in. The next level data privacy that companies like Facebook have not been able to maintain has been instilled into the basic app in Apple.

» The All New Apple Credit Card

With the credit card, Apple has surely made the shift in the right direction. They are trying to make way for Apple payments that are convenient and secure. Again, there is nothing unique about Apple’s approach in the credit card niche, as one can see that it has been inspired by Amazon. The card can be directly applied to the iPhone, and gets stored into the Apple wallet, once the iPhone approves the card. From checking statements to knowing the available balance, everything seems easy with the Apple card.

What is different about the card? Well, you don’t have any CVV numbers of signature on the card. Like other cards, you don’t have any card details to look for here. The Apple card stores every information within it, like the retail purchases you have made, the locations you have visited and other purchase related details that help you keep a record of what and where you have spent your money. However, the purchase details are pretty secure, and nobody gets a whiff of the details. So, you are safe from the ad targeters.

The new card also comes with a cash back offer, which is transferred to your wallet. Secondly, you don’t need to pay extra interest for making late payments, and you will have an idea as to what interest you are paying for the amount of purchases made.

» Apple TV Channel Subscription

If you own an Apple TV, this news is for you. Till now, you were either supposed to download a 3rd party app or try something entirely different, if you wanted to see the channels on Apple TV. Things have changed now. You can subscribe to the channels like HBO, PBS etc. on Apple TV directly and pay for the channels you are subscribing. Apart from this, the Apple TV app will also get an upgrade, which can be accessed through Mac, and other smart TV options such as Roku and Amazon Fire TV.

» Subscribe to Gaming Services with Arcade

Now you can avail subscription based gaming services through Apple Arcade. The idea is to boost gaming on the Apple devices, specifically iPhone. You wont need the traditional gaming sets like PlayStation, Xbox to play these games. The app store would include more than a 100 games specifically designed for the iOS. The games will be available offline as well.

» How the future will be shaped?

Apple’s announcements, as we have already discussed, may not come across as an innovation to the people concerned. However, if you look at it in detail, you will notice that the company is slowly spreading its wings across different niches, and planning to upgrade the security issues that the niche is facing.

For instance, the marketers tend to get the private data of the people’s subscriptions, and know what they are looking for, and target their ads towards these people. However, it bugs the people, and they tend to move out of the subscription service.

Apple has understood that loyalty lies in the fact that people are given some privacy and their data is controlled by them. that’s why most of the new Apple features include storing the data locally so that this data does not reach anyone.

The credit card that the company has launched will also be a direct competition to the credit cards unveiled by the banks. Acting on the security concerns shown by people, especially after the cards are stolen, Apple has decided to do away with the fine print on the card. This way, even when it is stolen, nobody can use it. This will redefine how we transact, and how we look at credit cards in the near future. It is an important announcement and innovation. Plus, getting to know everything about your card and the payments you have made online through the iPhone, offers convenience. Till date, no credit card has taken a customer-centric approach like Apple, and this will redefine convenience and experience for the end users.

Apple has foreseen what the future should be like, and the media transformation announcements made by Apple see to it that the end customer’s future expectations are maintained. In fact, the announcements are in line with the security needs of the customer and what they are looking for. While Apple may not have directly made any advancements in technology such as iPhone or the iPad, this technology transformation will impact the new iPhone and how it is designed. The idea is to encrypt the new phones to meet the credit card and other subscription services launched by the company.
