#iOS #Snapchat – New report leaks details on Apple's upcoming Snapchat rival and other new apps : Smartphone social apps including Facebook, Snapchat and instant messengers have seen tremendous growth in recent years thanks to the iPhone and Android. Apple revolutionized the smartphone business with the iPhone and the App Store, creating a massive mobile software business.
But now that iPhone sales are slowing, Apple is looking to monetize its services by launching compelling apps and services for its customers.
According to a new report, Apple plans to go after top smartphone apps with alternatives of its own. The first one will debut this year in iOS 10, while next year's iPhones might come alongside exciting new camera and social apps that will compete against Facebook, Snapchat and other services.
A report from Bloomberg says that Tim Cook is looking to the App Store and iCloud to compensate for Apple's slowing hardware business.
Apple's iMessage update coming in iOS 10 is proof that Apple wants to improve its already popular messaging app and make it even more appealing to smartphone users who likely also use popular apps such as Snapchat, Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp.
Next year, Apple may be rolling out a standalone camera app that will let an iPhone or iPad user record, edit (apply filters and drawings) and share video in less than a minute.
The unnamed Apple app is meant to take on Snapchat, which currently has more than 150 million daily active users who spend an average of 30 minutes inside the app each day.
