Maturity for the iPhone

• Unlikely to see any big hardware innovations at this point
• Maybe foldable
• Great time to get an app on here, because it’s a mature product
• 11 not a huge change from the 10 (but definite upgrade from the 8)

Apple Watch Innovation

• Waiting for some improvements to battery and processor, but this is about to become an amazing product
• Great time to think about developing an app, esp. in the health & fitness sector

iPads and the Pro App Market

• Apple Arcade shows Apple is interested in a subscription/bundle for games
• Highlighted new iPad but where are the serious pro apps
• Why having a subscription for app/games is great
• Hardware is great, but software needs to improve app ecosystem
• The App store eco system is still setup for “casual” apps for there is potent

Swift UI

• SwiftUI is changing the way UI is developed but slowly
• First Swift-only API (no Objective-C compatibility)
• Maybe not be ideal for some companies with different design patterns but it’s a better starting place then Storyboards and UIKit
• Cross-Platform compatible with iOS, watchOS, tvOS, and macOS
