    Apple is heading for a decline.

    The past 12 months really hasn’t been kind to Apple. The lawsuits, the steps back in their products and ecosystem as a result, one negative headline after another, struggling stocks.

    Today I got an email from Apple about an app subscription renewal that I didn’t recognize. On closer inspection I saw that it was my wife’s subscription and that the notice had been sent to us both. Is this a normal policy for Apple now? Because to me this seems like a pretty big privacy...

    Will AVP apps be expensive?

    Do you think apps will still be 99c or free with in-app purchases, considering devs need to spend 3.5k + 99$ a year before they can even produce a compelling app? I think apps will cost a fortune on this thing to recoup production costs.

    Universal Do you think that GPT/LLM is the future of App Store search?

    To say that App Store search is broken isn't anything particularly new. At this point Apple appears to be using only the app title, subtitle, keywords, category name and some metrics that it has regarding the apps that may influence the app to rank higher for searches but not to rank for more...

    I’m trying to find the answer to a very specific question. I’m hoping someone who has already turn on Advanced Data Protection, and has the appropriate hardware, can physically test this and confirm.

    Is the Red Badge for App Store Updates New?

    Over the past couple of days, the red badge with the app update count in the App Store has stood out to me as something new (I could be wrong). This is the same look as the iOS software update badge.
