Lets not forget that Apple already owns three of the most popular social "Apps"
- iMessage
- Phone
- Mail
Because they come stock on the device, they don't show up on leaderboards or get called out on user numbers, but is there any doubt that those would be the three most used apps if they were?
iMessage especially has a chance to eclipse Twitter if Apple continues to build it out. If you define social as asymmetrical social web services Apple absolutely doesn't get it. If you count actual conversations, text and media messages, and long form emails/letters, they seem to be doing alright.
- MatthewPhillips 15y agoApple doesn't own phone calls or email. They have apps for them, like they have an app for twitter.
- rdl 15y agoApple owns iMessages, which might be more important than any other IM network soon, and are already pretty widely used. It wouldn't be too hard to own phone calls the same way (a truly seamless g.722 voice call over lte and wifi would be great. I hate the audio quality of anything but wideband, especially gsm. Plus conference calling and routing features to put google voice to shame)
