What’s up fellas! It’s no longer news that Apple has launched a new app with a single purpose of planning parties! This part-planning app has become the talk of town and it is called Apple Invites. The launch of this app has generated a lot of controversy and different viewpoints from both Apple fans and the general populace. While some people have applauded Apple for the introduction of the party-planning app called Apple Invites, others have raised concern about the possibility of Apple being a copycat. To further support this claim, Partiful has also responded to Apple’s invention, suggesting that Apple may have copied its product.
According to a viral post on Twitter, Partiful went with the caption “just reviewing the apple developer guidelines,” responding to Apple’s app launch and entrance into the space. Flash back…Partiful is a startup with almost the same function as Apple Invites. Partiful was founded in 2020 by Joy Tao and Shreya Murthy and it allows users to be able to plan events, create fun and modern invites in 1-click, and many more! Partiful first launched as a website, and later on in 2022, the platform gained significant traction and it also secured a whooping $20 million in Series A funding that same year.
Now the question is; how true can these claims be? And what are the implications? Will small Internet companies face difficulties in safeguarding their rights when facing the plagiarism of big companies?
The truth is that Apple may not always be the first to begin a trend or development; however when Apple kickstarts anything the competition is always fierce as existing competitors don’t always welcome it with joy. The case is no different with the newly launched app know as the Apple Invites. The reason is that Apple may not be after setting records for being the “first”, but what Apple strongly pursues is being the “best”. The whole meaning and purpose of this party-planning app is nothing but to create an easy way/medium for iPhone users to conveniently create virtual party invitations and send them across to their friends and contacts.
That said, do you know you can face certain limitations on the new Apple Invites app if you are not subscribed to iCloud? Read below to find out!
Are you subscribed to iCloud+?
Did you know that one of the things that sets Apple’s latest app apart is the ability to generate recurring revenue? Yes, you heard me right! For you to enjoy the full feature set of this app you need a subscription to iCloud+. As a subscriber you can only create events on the platform. However only those who pay for iCloud+ can host their parties. You can only RSVP and not host your own party if you don’t pay for the iCloud+.
Regardless of the speculations and discussions surrounding the possibility of Apple being a “copycat”, the new app, Apple Invites, is thriving and now available to users. However, if you want to enjoy full capabilities, I’m sorry to break it to you that it is only accessible to iCloud+ subscribers. FYI, Apple’s iCloud+ plans start at $0.99 per month for 50 GB, $2.99 per month for 200 GB, $9.99 per month for 2 TB, $29.99 per month for 6 TB, and $59.99 per month for 12 TB.
