The battle between iOS and Android today is stronger than ever. Both programs have reached maturity in exceptional quality, with small details being the most important. Those from Cupertino are looking for new talent, taking the plunge of small teams that have proven they can create incredible programs. Last but not least, the actual app.
Among the acquisitions, a few weeks ago we learned that the Dark Sky team would start operating at Apple, shutting down its popular app on Android. In recent days it's another app that said good on Android after being picked up by those apples were bitten.
The best weather app has been purchased by Apple and will disappear on Android
Global Sky was the best weather application, and in the coming months it will disappear on Android after Apple's purchase.
This original virtual reality app was purchased by Apple and disappeared on Google Play
Yesterday we were aware of the news of Apple's acquisition of NextVR. It is a company that is genuinely unique in the specialty of its technology in order to disseminate virtual reality content, an important factor in the growth and development of this technology.
After this type of purchase, two scenarios often arise: whether you continue to improve your product under the umbrella of your company, following your own inventory, or leaving all the focus on something new. Among the first will be Shazam, bought by Apple but will continue to do its job, and if it's in second mode it will be Dark Sky or NextVR.
In the case of NextVR, when we go to its official page, a sign appears that NextVR is referring to a new address, this time under the Apple Group. A new index where Android seems insignificant.
As they say on 9to5 Google, the app has completely disappeared from Google Play. The app is still accessible on iOS, PlayStation and Oculus, and Steam has also hung a signal that the app is no longer available for download.
What will Apple do with the technology of this company? Aside from the obvious virtual specialty, this does not mean that Apple prepares its glasses, because most of the real technology is active and, in fact, the technology from which Apple is investing so much.
