Take A Look At The Apps Apple Has Made Obsolete With iOS 8 And OS X 10.10

While a number of features in iOS 8 and OS X 10.10 are quite innovative, others should sound pretty familiar. Just like in previous years, Apple has taken a nice dose of inspiration from the developer community and added popular ideas into both operating systems. On the iOS keyboard side, there is both good and bad. While Apple is finally allowing third-party keyboards to be used natively in iOS 8, its QuickType feature is similar to the fantastic SwiftKey Note. Apple’s iCloud is also changing, for the better. With iCloud Drive, which provides a dedicated location for iCloud files on OS X, iOS devices, and even Windows PCs, Apple is taking a page directly from Dropbox and other cloud storage providers. With the new features in the Messages app of iOS 8, Apple seems to be taking on established players like WhatsApp Messenger and Snapchat. For example, users can share audio messages from directly inside the app. It’s also much easier to take a quick look at attachments in messages threads. In Mac OS X version 10.10, Apple has introduced some interesting capabilities found in iOS apps. Just like with PDF Pen and Skitch, desktop users can do things like markup photos and add their signature directly from a trackpad. And while Yosemite’s new Spotlight actually looks useful now, it borrows many ideas from the popular Alfred app. Much like Alfred, the new Spotlight has integration with Wikipedia, Bing, iTunes, Yelp, and much more. But just like in years past, it's a mixed bag for developers. Take a look at a similar list we complied from iOS 7 last year and you'll see quite a trend. While some apps like Bump have met a watery grave, others like 1Password and Mailbox are alive and still doing just fine. Even though some might point a finger at Apple for "stealing" ideas from poor developers, it's just a part of doing business in the App Store age. The relationship between developers and Apple is symbiotic, as both heavily depend on the other side to thrive. I don't see that changing any time soon. What do you think? Are there any other apps that might face an uncertain future once OS X 10.10 and iOS 8 officially arrive.
