I’m seeing a trend in companies that are in the tech industry. Or more specifically in the app industry. Are we done with apps? It’s been 15 years since the release of the very first iOS SDK. Allowing developers create native apps for the iPhone and not just web based apps. Others followed and so did the app stores. Is 15 years too much or does this industry have more years on its sleeve? Maybe it’s time we start engaging in some new technology. VR comes to mind. But what about apps for devices that are less common, like the Apple TV, or even smart watches. Maybe we’ve given too much focus on the phone that it has become a stagnated market. And just maybe, it has become boring for the users. Even though this post may sound pessimistic, it was not meant that way. It’s just a reflection of what’s happening and an eye opener of potential things to come…

Just like Radio “killed” Newspapers, apps are now part of a bedrock in our digital ecosystem. Apps may not be the top layer anymore, and won’t enjoy the same prominence, but they aren’t going away. It means that app development and maintenance will mature into a more controlled and stable set of practices, procedures, and technologies.
