After “Journal”, Apple is launching a whole new application on its iPhone. Entitled “Apple Guests”, it already has a small defect that may frustrate its users.
A brand new application has just been born in Apple’s digital landscape. Entitled “Apple Guests”, or “invitations” in French, the software came like a hair on the soup. Available on the App Store or as a website, it presents itself as the “New application that brings people together during special moments”.
Concretely, “Apple Invites” endeavors to simplify the organization of meetings and events with friends or family, through a modern and personalized design. Personalized, since it is possible to share the photos of your gallery or the music of its Apple Music playlists. “With Apple Invites, an event comes to life as soon as the invitation is created, while users can share lasting memories even after their meeting”said Brent Chiu-Watson, senior director of the Worldwide Product Marketing at Apple and Icloud.
A grain of sand at Apple Invites
Despite the potential of “Apple invites”, which combines modernity, practicality and ergonomicsa small grain of sand seems to block its gears. In fact, only iCloud+ subscribers have the ability to organize an event and bring their friends together through personalized invitations. This Apple service, which costs between 0.99 and € 9.99, allows you to enlarge the storage space of a iphone In order to keep more photos and files.
Limiting the creation of events to iCloud+ subscribers presents itself as a very penalizing restriction. Even if “Apple Guests” can be downloaded for all iPhone owners, those who do not adhere to iCloud+ service can only join the events. Note that even Android users will be able to respond to the invitations launched from “Apple Privates”, without having to connect to any Apple.
If “Apple Guests” seems to want to include everyone, interest is sometimes very limited.
Many features to iCloud+ subscribers
On the other hand, it is certain that “Apple Guests” will be very useful for iCloud+subscribers, who will be able to create an event and invite its participants.
The new Apple application allows members of a group to consult the address of an appointment more easily, to find out about the weather, to develop a collaborative playlist for D-Day, or to design a Album shared with all members.
As in any discussion group, the various members will be able to send messages and chat with each other. Apple seems to have thought of everything, even if the importance of the iCloud+ subscription can cool many iPhone owners.
