Apple's iPhone X stuns but was it the most relevant update?

On September 12th Apple unveiled the latest editions to some of it's product line. This include Apple TV , iPhone 8 , iPhone X(pronounced "Ten"), and Apple Watch. iPhone X as you might expect was awesome and stole the show., but unless you want to pay $1000 for a phone then it probably doesn't matter very much.

Apple also released updates to Apple TV with 4K video but I think the improvements to Apple Watch are the most relevant. Apple has made to significant improvements to the Apple Watch, which are Apple Music and Cellular! That's right the Apple Watch now has cellular. You no longer need to carry your cell phone with you. I think this is incredible and now you truly have a smart watch! Who needs a cell phone? Oh wait not so fast you do have to read the fine print.  Apparently you have to have an iPhone 6 or later running iOS 11. But still it might be worth having both to have that functionality. I don't have an Apple Watch but I'm seriously considering upgrading now. Lets not forget the other neat thing that because of cellular you can now stream Apple Music right on your wrist.

How to distribute apps in the App Store

Do you want to distribute apps in the App Store? Not sure where to start? Are you an app developer and have questions about in-app purchases, privacy policies, or AdMob implementation? Then you can find all the answers in one place. The Essential iOS Developer Course on Udemy


The Essential iOS developer Course is now available on Udemy. This one of kind course covers essential topics for every app developer such as Export Compliance, Privacy Policies, In-App Purchases, monetization, and digital marketing.

The course was developed by a real app developer with real apps in the App Store. Their mission and purpose was to share the knowledge and experiences they acquired during the app development and distribution process. Ultimately they want to assist other app developers in avoiding some of the same mistakes they made in their journey. I don't believe there is more comprehensive app distribution course anywhere.
