Novelties of Apple, happiness to be erudite and future food delivery
The topic of release is the new application of Apple.
On June 3, Apple introduced the new iOS 13 mobile operating system, tablet iPados and desktop MacOS Catalina. In addition, the company showed a powerful and expandable Mac Pro, similar to a grater, as well as a 32-inch monitor to it in a pair.
We collected all the announcements in one material , and here we give the five most interesting and technologically difficult.
- Entrance using Apple ID. The new technology of entering sites and applications allows when registering not to disclose personal data and email address. Instead, the developers will receive randomly generated address. Apple promises not to study who goes where, and protect the privacy further. TechCrunch even hastened to call Apple a company that works according to the Privacy-QAK-Service model.
- The search for lost devices can now be carried out without connecting to the Internet. A laptop can contact through Bluetooth to others and give a signal to the owner. This greatly complicates the life of thieves.
- ITUNES on the Mac no longer. Instead, separate Music, Apple TV and Apple Podcasts applications will appear. Thanks to this separation, the company will be able to better develop its paid multimedia services. What will happen to iTunes for Windows is still unclear.
- The presentation of the iPad OS showed that Apple perceives the tablets seriously. But now it is not a game and an entertaining platform, like once, and not a universal tool, as at the very beginning. The iPad is intensely moved towards a complete replacement of a laptop for creative professionals. If it is decided to divide two systems, user experience in them will also become different over time.
- The new framework for Swift and a set of developer for augmented reality are designed to speed up development and seriously improve its quality. All this happens in 2019, when all large companies are going to jump from the screen to the camera, and from the camera - to glasses or a supplemented, mixed or virtual reality.
+1 to productivity
The New York Times publishes a review of Range. Why Generalists Triumph in A Specialized World (“Range. Why Wide -Profile specialists win in the narrowly focused world”).
The book criticizes the concept of 10 thousand hours, which claims that in order to achieve good results, it is necessary to give a lot of time. The author, David Epstein, claims that the idea of 10 thousand hours is understood to be in varying, and a wide horizon is a friend, not an enemy of a deep understanding.

- The delivery market in China is now twice as much as in the USA.
- It is quite difficult for restaurants to adapt to a new reality, since often their margin is only 3-5%, and delivery takes more.
- All this gave rise to new ideas - virtual restaurants (exist only in the delivery application), dark kitchens (work only for delivery), and the strategy of exclusive partnerships.
- Subscription for delivery showed itself well in the American market.
- Outside the United States, delivery is one of the components of super -application combining many local giant services.
