Subscription models in iOS games and apps will surely please developers, who’ll now have the option of using a brand new, recurring revenue stream to bring in the big bucks.
As for the consumer, they may be left with tough decisions on which apps they’re willing to pay a monthly fee for. Juggling multiple app subscriptions could also be a headache, as being charged for several different subscriptions each month will start to add up. Consumers may need to become more selective about the apps they invest their time and money in.
That said, this could also lead to the cream rising to the top, forcing developers to up their game when it comes to putting out a product that’s actually worth sticking with. If the latter holds true, that can only be good news for consumers.
Personally, I don’t pay for that many apps to start with, but there is something to downloading an app for a buck or two, trying it out, and tossing it if it’s not as useful as I had hoped. Actually having to manage a subscription, and cancel it, probably means I’m going to be much less likely to try something out without knowing a ton more about it.
How about you, will subscription options alter how you interact with the App Store?

Essentially, if you’re not familiar with email threading, the idea is that if a group of people is sending emails back and forth by hitting the Reply button, and the previous email is copied into the body of the previous email, you don’t really have to read each individual email. At some point, later emails have the entire conversation in them. This means that it’s not necessary to read the “lesser included emails” because you already read them as part of the thread. But, the problem Judge Aaron describes is that while the text is there at the end of thread messages, you’re missing important metadata that is unique to the individual message.
As I said, having worked with Teams messages often I have seen this, where a transcript doesn’t have all of the message metadata, especially the time/dates of each message versus the beginning or end of the chat. If you’re creating those transcripts and not including each message in your production, you might be running afoul of your production requirements.
But, as I said, IANAL, so don’t take my word for it, do your own testing.
“For their study, researchers surveyed over 1200 senior executives and non-executive employees about their workplace arrangements. While 53 percent of employees reported feeling less satisfied and less productive when they had to work through ambient noise, only 35 percent of executives felt the same way.The disconnect between the perceptions of management and the people they…
This is good news, and frankly, I’m a bit surprised. Happily. According to IBM Security’s new “Future of Identity Study,” users of both mobile and desktop are wide awake to what’s happening with each new high profile breach, and it’s made them change their priorities. Strong security and privacy are now at the forefront of…
This kind of research goes hand in hand with much of the research on social media. Do happy people naturally connect with people better and have more meaningful conversations? Do unhappy people spend more time on social media having shallow interactions? Further research is still needed, because it’s not clear whether people make themselves happier…
So with the advent of so-called self encrypted SSD hard drives, what does that mean for e-discovery data? Sure in terms of using the drives to exchange data between client and firm, or between plaintiff and defense, having it encrypted is a pretty good idea. On the other hand, will it become more of a…
