It can be understandably assumed that Apple thinks that few users would be excited about putting foreign objects of various weights on an iPhone and potentially break, scratch or damage the screen.

During Apple’s fourth fiscal quarter earnings report on Tuesday, company CEO Tim Cook said that they would like to have its iPhone Upgrade Program be available to users outside its official retail stores. The company declared quarterly income of $51.5 billion as well as quarterly net profit of $11.1 billion, or $1.96 for each diluted share.
Apple said on Tuesday that the expanded availability of the Apple Watch and continued strong sales of its iPhone have helped the company to its “most successful” final quarter and fiscal year. But unlike other competitors, and this is where Apple really trumps the Amazon Fire TV 4K, Siri will also respond to more complicated demands, such as “bring up all action films from the 1970s” or simply “Siri”.
Kawano said he’s not quite sure what all of the use cases are for the app because he knows just how creative their users will get.
That workaround had to be in place since Apple’s own 3D Touch API only measures weight on its own custom scale – from 0.00 to a “maximum possible force” of 1.00. After that, all they had to do was test the onboarding, organize marketing materials, build a little website, plan a release strategy and submit the proposed app to Apple. Apps that have the ability to alter functions that only the iOS is capable of altering, are also not allowed to feature in the App Store. The Apple TV turns your big-screen monitor into a giant iPhone, while also giving you a new way of thinking about TV.
In brief, that sounds like another boring slideshow app. But in practice, it’s more like a Slack channel or meme-laden messageboard, playing out in real time in your office or living room.

Kawano highlighted the value of organizing and sharing photo albums from the app – as when husbands and wives might throw photos from a trip up on the Apple TV to organize them before sending them to their in-laws. The future of Storehouse is to give you one – and the best – solution to finally be able to do something with the mounting piles of digital data that isn’t your finished, professional work, but that your sister, aunt, cousins, brother-in-law, social media followers, and new friends would love to see. “House. Play” (for those of us who struggle with cohesive thoughts before 9am).
