WWDC15: Apple's ecosystems in focus

By Gadjo Cardenas Sevilla

San Francisco: Apple Inc. has evolved widely as a a company. While they're best known as makers of hardware including Macs, iPhones and iPads as well as the Apple Watch, it is the various ecosystems and software frameworks that make all these devices work well and work well together.

The World Wide Developer's Conference is, by its very nature, a software developer's show, and not only is this year expected to continue focusing on iOS 9, OS X 11 as well as Watch OS; Apple is expected to flex its muscles on the halo effect of these products going into 2015. 

The cavalcade of software ecosystems will include iOS and Mac apps, as it has in the past, and it is also expected to touch heavily on last yeat's revelations including HealthKit (and the potentially trnasformative ResearchKit framework). We're expecting the 'epicenter of change' to be HomeKit related.

Now, with a variety of smart home and Internet of Things devices coming to market, it makes sense that a unified, cohesive, and future-facing solutions will be revealed.

Apple is in a unique position since it makes its own software and hardware as well as tightly controls the way its various ecosystems work.

The company is really offering an end-to-end solution because of this integration, and this year looks to offer even more tools for developers to tie their apps, services and peripherals into the various Apple ecosystems as they grow to scale. Stay tuned for our post-WWDC analysis and more news on Apple's expanding ecosystems.
