What's next for Apple in 2016: a focus on HomeKit, Apple Pay & Maps ecosystems
Thank you Daniel for another thoughtful article.
In my experience software application development is usually done by a relatively small group of engineers who take ownership of a specific app. Working with a product manager they implement improvements in the code over time. Leaving aside the major platform code bases, Apple has a relatively small portfolio of end user apps. Given their financial resources that makes it even more puzzling that key apps seem to get ignored for extended periods of time. What are they doing differently that keeps them from updating important apps like Maps, iLife and iWorks with some regularity? Your points about the Maps app are especially relevant given the importance of maps in the mobile ecosystem. I have used Maps to get me to my driving destinations in several countries so I know that the basic functionality is there but, as you suggest, it could and should be so much better.
