What I shared on Twitter, and a bit more…
#Smartphone is a small computer, we don’t just use it as a telephone. #Smartwatch is tiny computer on your wrist. https://www.wired.com/2016/09/told-smartwatches-actually-getting-good/
Get ready for millions of #Swift programmers within a few years. Coding is fun with #SwiftPlaygrounds on #iPads. http://www.apple.com/swift/playgrounds/
It took #Android #Marshmello (Android 6.x) 15 months to get to 18.7% installed base. #iOS10 easily passed that in just 2 days.
The last time I checked, #Spotify is still losing a lot of money and #Apple is still making a lot of money. http://www.macrumors.com/2016/09/14/spotify-40-million-paid-subscribers/
#iOS #SiriKit was only introduced 3 months ago and most taxi-booking apps already have it. Fragmented #Android world will slowly catch-up.
#Apple is good at winning quietly. You think it is just a stickers store like #Line, it is a full e-commerce platform with social network.
#Apple makes it seem so easy to just start #iMessage store and have hundreds of apps in there already. They have a 13m developers ecosystem.
Can we say Shigeru Miyamoto is the best entertainer of our generation? #SuperMarioRun #Nintendo http://thenextweb.com/gaming/2016/09/12/watch-marios-creator-play-super-mario-run-bicep-curls/
#Line, #Whatsapp and #Messenger might still think that #iMessage is not a threat as it is #iOS “only”. It has 1 billion rich active users.
Is it the year of #AI chatbots like what #Facebook and #Google are pushing for? Or iMessage store in #iOS10? http://www.theverge.com/2016/9/13/12900672/app-imessage-app-store-stickers-apps-features
It might seem excessive, but name any other phone with known/confirmed risks of exploding like #SamsungGalaxyNote7? https://x.com/Pogue/status/775759434425524224
Did you really need a reminder to do full backup before system update? People never learn. #iOS #Android #Win10 http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-37357489
