Currently, there are two types of people – people who are very casual about downloading iOS 13 as they are buying iPhone 11 or iPhone 11 pro which comes with pre-installed iOS 13, and people who own the old iPhones and want to give them the software makeover with iOS 13!

Fortunately, this blog is for both user groups. Because both user groups deserve to know iOS 13 features before upgrading the old iPhone or buying a new one.

» Top iOS 13 features

 
This time, Apple brings a lot of new and groundbreaking features in its iOS 13 update which Apple has already started rolling out. It is available both over-the-air in the Settings app and by plugging your device into iTunes for a wired update.

But in case you are wondering how your iPhone will look and act like after installing the new update, here are the top iOS 13 features.

» Dark Mode

 
Though Apple has finally nodded, they are officially late!

Finally, OS-level dark mode is here in your iPhones! The dark mode is made for reducing battery consumption. Apple claims that this mode darkens all screens of your phone, including the screens of most popular third-party apps. However, Apple has also clarified that a few third-party apps can oppose wearing dark screen.

But leaving sadness behind and talking about the ‘brighter’ side of the ‘dark’ mode, the system lets users schedule dark mode to turn it on and turn it off at a particular time. And even the wallpaper reduces its brightness to match with the dark screens of the system and apps.

iOS 13 features and compatible devices

» FaceTime Correction

 
It is a bit creepy but very useful to show a person another side on FaceTime that you are very well engaged in the talk!

FaceTime correction adjusts the set of your eyes so the person you are face-timing with feels that you are looking at him, even if you are looking at the screen and not at the camera.


» Better Face ID

Apple hasn’t successfully installed an on-screen fingerprint scanner in any of its phones. And because of it, Apple has to pay with a generation old Face ID!

However, Apple Face ID is more precise and smarter than any other smartphone. And now a ‘wider field of view’ for unlocking iPhones is making it much more precise and smarter. Thanks to the wide-field face unlocking feature, you now don’t have to lift the handset from the table to unlock it, it now detects your face from the distance too.

» QuickPath Keyboard

Dear Android users (readers), there is nothing to get excited about here. Dear Apple users (readers), you just hit the jackpot, which is, by the way, already claimed!

The QuickPath feature enables gesture typing. It helps users to get rid of typing by tapping. Apple claims that this feature reduces a lot of time and pain users are facing while typing. With this feature, users now just have to glide their fingers across the keyboard to type a word.

» Advanced photo editing tool

The major highlight of iPhones has always been its camera hardware. But this time, it gets the support from software too. Now, users can edit a photo ‘massively’ in the more feature-packed native photo editing app. Not only photos but Apple’s photo editing app now also supports video editing.

Another big upgrade with a camera

Portrait photos taken from the iPhone camera can easily beat a photo taken by a high-end camera! And now, with iOS 13 update, iPhone’s portrait mode becomes more aggressive. Now, it lets users customize the lighting and also supports ‘High Key Mono’.

iOS 13 features and compatible devices

iOS 13 Compatible or Supported Apple Devices list

 
Whether your device is compatible with iOS 13 update or not? – iOS 13 supported device list

If you own an iPhone model 6s or later, the iPhone SE or the 7th generation iPod touch, you can download iOS 13 update and experience its groundbreaking new features. But if you are owning an iPad and dying for the iOS 13, you have to wait till September 24 and you will survive! Apple will launch iPad OS 13.1 on that day and save you from apocalypse!

To surprise its users, Apple has used the annual September event to the fullest to bring forth a new generation of iPhones. Along with these iPhones, they also introduced a lot of other stuff which included new iPads, Apple watches, Apple TV+ and even the launch dates for Apple Arcade.

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.

» What’s New in iPhones : iPhone 11 Specs, iPhone 11 Pro Specs

 

iPhone-pro11-iPhone-11-pro-max
There can never be an Apple event in September without a new iPhone.

 

  • The first iPhone that was launched was the iPhone 11:
  • It has 6.1″ display, with the “toughest glass” ever in an iPhone
  • The newly launched iPhone has a new dual-camera system on the back — one 12MP wide-angle camera (26mm f/1.8) and one 12 MP ultra-wide camera (13mm f/2.4)
  • The flash is 36% brighter than the previous ones.
  • This iPhone has a new night mode that uses adaptive bracketing for better low-light shots
  • The new phone has a front camera has now 12MP, up from 7MP can do 60 FPS 4K and slow-motion video.
  • Working on Apple’s new A13 chipset, which they announced to be the fastest CPU/GPU ever in a smartphone.

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.
  • The iPhone Pro has a 5.8″ display. The other launched iPhone Pro Max has a display of 6.5″
  • The phone also works on A13
  • Although the Apple people didn’t give a particular battery life estimate, Apple states that the Pro will get four more hours of life per charge when matched with the iPhone Xs Max, while the Pro Max will get five more hours
  • Both iPhones come with 18w fast chargers in the box
  • A modern “Deep Fusion” feature applies machine learning for dramatically advanced low-light shots. The camera is taking a series of short-exposure shots before you press the shutter button.
  • When you press the button, it takes one extended display shot. Apple employs neural networks to examine the photos “pixel by pixel,” connecting them into one high-detail, low-noise photo.

 
The price of Pro will start at $999, whereas the price of Pro Max will start at $1,099.

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. Coruscate, with our expert team of developers, can help you with our innovative infrastructure and technologies to make your apps compatible with the newly launched Apple devices.

Being an top iOS app development company, we keep eye on latest trends and technology updates from Apple. This article is the output of it. After seeing WWDC 2019, our mobile app development lead and one of our experienced iOS developers wrote this article on how anyone can integrate ‘Sign in with Apple’ button in any iOS app.

We are very much familiar with signing in with Google and Facebook. It has been a criterion for app development for a very long time. However, on June 3, 2019, Apple announced the new ‘Sign in with Apple’ at the WWDC 2019 held at San Jose. This feature is compatible with versions iOS13 and later.

Sign In with Apple operates on iOS, macOS, tvOS, and watchOS. One can add Sign In with Apple to the website or versions of any app running on other platforms. The users can sign in anywhere the app is deployed once they set up their accounts.

Sign In with Apple is a fast and easy way to sign in to apps and websites. It enables the users to set up a user account in the application with their name, a verified email address and unique stable identifiers that allow the user to sign in with their Apple ID.

Last year in iOS 12 Apple introduced Password AutoFill, Automatic Strong Password, and Security Code AutoFill for advanced security and privacy constraint. This year, introducing sign in with Apple is another step taken towards better security and privacy.

Apple is making its sign-in needed whenever a third-party log-in option is provided. This third party option can be Facebook, Google, Instagram, Snapchat or any other. Apple has now provided its users with a private choice.

Why did Apple introduce the Sign In feature?

 
Apple is taking a determined stand to protect its user’s privacy. Rather than allowing other apps to see the user’s real email address, Apple will provide a proxy email address which will be unique to each app. The app developers will be still able to send emails to these provided proxy addresses. But at the same time, the developers will not be able to correlate users between apps. Also, the users can shut off their email forwarding per app.

Amidst embarrassments that have been caused by privacy and security breaches by Google and Facebook, this announcement from Apple is very much welcomed by the audience.

What can a Sign In with Apple do for its users?

 

1. Security

 
A user account must always be secure. ‘Sign In with Apple id’ gets automatically protected with two-factor authentication. This is using Touch ID or Face ID as a second layer of protection after the username/password combination.

» Check fraud

 
It can send alerts if the new account on your app is apparently not a real person using advanced machine learning. The developer can actually consider this alert while processing their anti-fraud tests or while granting permission to features in their apps.

» No more remembering different login Ids and Passwords

 
The user will be alerted if they already have an account with the app. They can use their existing email to login instead of creating a new one.

Now, let us discuss the technical part about how to integrate the Sign In with Apple feature into your apps.

Here is a step by step guide to integrate sign in with apple button in your iOS app :

 

1. Configure Project

 
Create a new project and set the development team in the Signing & Capabilities tab so Xcode can create a provisioning profile.

iOS App Development Tips : How to integrate “Sign In with Apple Button” in your Apps?

Once your project is created, add the Sign In with Apple capability in your project. This will enable your app to use Sign In with Apple.

iOS App Development Tips : How to integrate “Sign In with Apple Button” in your Apps?

 

2. Adding the Apple Log In button

 
AuthenticationServices framework renders ASAuthorizationAppleIDButton to allow the users to launch the Sign In with Apple flow. Adding the button to your app is simple. Create an instance of ASAuthorizationAppleIDButton and add a target for touchUpInside action. Once this is done, you can add the button in your view.

let authorizationButton = ASAuthorizationAppleIDButton() authorizationButton.addTarget(self, action: #selector(handleLogInWithAppleIDButtonPress), for: .touchUpInside) loginProviderStackView.addArrangedSubview(authorizationButton)

3. Handling Login Button Press

 
On the click of Sign In with Apple Button, you have to use a provider ASAuthorizationAppleIDProvider to create a request ASAuthorizationAppleIDRequest. This request is used to initialize a controller ASAuthorizationController that performs the request.

One or more of ASAuthorization.Scope values in the requestedscopes array can be used to request certain contact information from the user.

This is how the handleLogInWithAppleIDButtonPress action is implemented:

@objc private func handleLogInWithAppleIDButtonPress() { let appleIDProvider = ASAuthorizationAppleIDProvider() let request = appleIDProvider.createRequest() request.requestedScopes = [.fullName, .email] let authorizationController = ASAuthorizationController(authorizationRequests: [request]) authorizationController.delegate = self authorizationController.presentationContextProvider = self authorizationController.performRequests() }

4. Existing Account Setup Flow

 
There is a huge possibility that the user is already logged in with your application. You need to use both ASAuthorizationAppleIDProvider and ASAuthorizationPasswordProvider provider to create the request, which we then use to initialize a controller (ASAuthorizationController) that performs the request.

  • ASAuthorizationPasswordProvider is a tool for performing requests to authenticate users depending on their Apple ID
  • ASAuthorizationPasswordProvider is a device for producing requests to perform keychain credential sharing.

Handle ASAuthorizationController Delegate and Presentation Context

 
The ASAuthorizationController member gets an authorization ASAuthorization holding a credential ASAuthorizationAppleIDCredential that has an opaque user identifier.

private func performExistingAccountSetupFlows() { // Prepare requests for both Apple ID and password providers. let requests = [ASAuthorizationAppleIDProvider().createRequest(), ASAuthorizationPasswordProvider().createRequest()] // Create an authorization controller with the given requests. let authorizationController = ASAuthorizationController(authorizationRequests: requests) authorizationController.delegate = self authorizationController.presentationContextProvider = self authorizationController.performRequests() }

Configuring your Apple Developer Account

 
When you try to Sign In there is an AUTH_ALERT_SIGN_UP_NOT_COMPLETED error message display. Signing In won’t work in the app until you create a key with Sign in with Apple allowed in the developer account.
To facilitate Sign In with Apple creating an Auth Key with Sign In with Apple.

When you don’t see the Sign in with Apple listed when the key is created, you are probably in an Enterprise team. You can download the key to support Sign In with Apple from somewhere other than your application.

If you are generating a key for an assorted app then you create a key for your original App ID in order to implement Sign In with Apple. The user can your primary app’s icon at sign in and in their Apple ID account settings.

To Reset an Existing Account

 
Resetting an existing account to examine the first Sign In experience again then you need to:

● Open the Settings app of your iOS gadget.
● Hit the account in the Apple ID header.
● Continue to Password & security.
● Find the application under Applications using the Apple ID
● and swipe to delete it. 

» Check Credential State

 
Use the userIdentifier that we got from ASAuthorizationAppleIDCredential object in the last step to check the user credential state. 

» Register Domains and Emails for communication

 
If you wish to contact the users that use Apple’s private email relay service, register domains and email addresses that your organization will use for communication. To configure this, you need your Apple Developer Account. Click on More side menu on the Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles page.

The opening of its 2019 annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) was held by Apple in San Jose, California on Monday. In their two and a half hour keynote, the company showed off everything that they have been working on in the past few months.

Have you missed watching it? Don’t worry. We have everything wrapped up in this blog for you. Here you can know everything that the iPhone makers have announced at the keynote point by point.

The Apple Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) is a conference held by Apple every year in San Jose. Through the event, the iPhone maker company showcases its new software and technologies for the software developers. The people who attend this conference can participate in hands-on labs with Apple engineers. They even get a chance to attend in-depth sessions covering a variety of topics.

The Worldwide Developers Conference first began in Santa Clara in 1987. After 15 long years, the conference was moved to San Jose. Later, the conference moved to San Francisco where the event began Apple’s main media event of the year. The conference returned to San Jose 13 years later. The WWDC is every developer’s pilgrimage who wishes to enhance the skills and know the advancements in technology.

WWDC can be seen in 4 parts- one is the promotional event, one is the trade show, however, the remaining two parts are dedicated to developer training. WWDC is Apple’s favored backdrop and an event where they reveal their plans for their product ecosystems for the coming months.

The company presented its biggest keynote with the developer conference as a means to explain their vision.

The focus of the keynote is developers. However, the Worldwide Developers Conference has traditionally offered a mix of hardware and software announcements. Here are the announcements that the iPhone makers made this year:

Console controllers for AppleTV:

There is great news for the people who always wanted to play on the AppleTV screen. The announcement says that the AppleTV will be soon compatible with Xbox One and Playstation Dualshock controllers. So, they can now be used alongside Apple’s upcoming subscription gaming service which is called as Apple Arcade.

Multi-user support for AppleTV:

You might not have a liking for the things that others in your home are watching. However, when you get recommendations based on their choice of watchlist, it frustrating. So, if the same is the situation with you, don’t worry. AppleTV will allow you to have different profiles for each member of your family. And when you switch between those profiles, you will only get the recommendations based on your watchlist!

Apple Watch Updates:

The Apple watches also have a few advanced features coming up to make them smarter. The WatchOS is getting a group of enhancements. These advancements are meant to make the Apple Watch more useful even without having to pull your iPhone.

Independent apps can run directly on the watch without any need for a companion iPhone app

The watch will now have a built-in App Store interfaces for purchasing/installing Watch apps directly through the Watch itself.

There will be a dedicated voice memo, audiobook, and calculator apps. The audio streaming API’s will now allow the streaming of sports and other content.

Introduction of a “Noise” feature which will detect the decibel level of your surrounding area. It will also issue a warning when the nearby noise levels might be high enough to damage your hearing. The noise app will not record or save any audio.

The company introduced a cycle tracking app for helping women to keep track of their menstrual cycle. The app can also be found on Apple’s Health app on iOS.

The watches will now have built-in Shazam support.

iOS 13:

iOS, like every year, is getting a big upgrade. The developer beta build went live on Monday itself whereas the public beta build will ship in July. It is said to be made available to everyone in Fall.

Advantages:

The installations of apps are now 50% smaller and the updates will be 60% smaller. The apps will be launched at double speed.

Apple has built a sign-in solution that will let you log into a service using the Apple account with your Face ID rather than passwords and you will not have to share your email with anyone.

Memojis are getting many new customization options including makeup, piercings, different teeth, new hats, and, yes, AirPods. Apple is going to offer Memojis in the chats also.

You can now have a phone app that automatically sends the unknown callers to your voicemail and another app which can detect your location just once. The map database of Apple is being rebuilt looking at the current traffic scenario which will compete with Google’s StreetView.

AirPod/HomePod/CarPlay Updates:

AirPods can now read incoming messages to you and the audio sharing allows you to take the audio from whatever the person is listening to and send it to multiple sets of AirPods. Along with the HomePods, the CarPlay is also getting a new interface and Siri will work with the third-party apps including Pandora and Waze.

iPadOS:

The standalone fork off of iOS which powers the iPad is now known as iPadOS. The new updates will make faster switching between the apps. The files app is getting better browsing modes. Apple Pencil latency has been cut down from 20 ms and 9 ms. A new compact model has been introduced that allows you to drag a tiny keyboard to the side of the screen for easier one-thumb typing. New three finger gestures are also introduced to pull-in and drop-in.

New Mac Pro:

It is expected to support for up to 28-core Intel Xeon processor. It has up to 1.5 terabytes of system memory. The Mac Pro is said to have 8 internal ports consisting of four double-wides, 3 single-wides, one half-length slot for an IO board which has two USB-3 ports and two Thunderbolt 3 ports), and 1.4 kW power supply. This new base model which will be shipped in fall will be an 8-core Xeon with 32GB of memory and a 256GB SSD and will start at $5999.

MacOS Catalina:

As it was being said iTunes is no more alive. Its functionality is being divided into three new apps: Apple Music, Apple Podcasts, and Apple TV. in order to sync your iPhone, you’ll now find the option quietly hanging out in Finder.

The previous “Find My Phone” and “Find My Friends” are being combined into one “Find My” app. The app will now also exist as a macOS app. So, even if a device is offline, it can be searched for using a Bluetooth mesh network made up of all other iOS/Mac devices. The Macs are getting activation lock which allows one to send a signal to effectively brick the device if it is stolen or lost. Project Catalyst allows the app developers more quickly retune their iPad apps for macOS. It can be done using the iOS app’s existing codebase as the foundation.

New stuff just for developers:

Apple has also announced some new stuff for the developers in the audience.

  • ARKit 3, a new version of Apple’s augmented reality framework with support for motion capture and people occlusion which allows AR objects to render in front of/behind people in view.
  • SwiftUI, a new framework for building interfaces for Swift apps. The interface will automatically support features like screen rotation and the newly introduced dark mode.

We hope that this information will be useful for all iOS developers and will help you to update yourself with the new technologies coming up. We will keep you updated with related information in the coming future.

Apple’s March 2019 keynote had some impressive software announcements for the people.In fact, this is the first time that Apple will be launching itself into some of the niches, and it will be interesting to see how the company will fare in them.

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

Apple-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.

Summing up

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.

Apple’s app store revenues have a significant impact as the developers are building subscription-based apps. Mobile gaming apps are given credit to raise more than half of the revenue. However, more substantial growth is seen in other app categories where the subscription-based apps are on the top. The report also included that in 2017-2018, the average money iPhone users spent on in-app purchases and paid app downloads was more than $21.
