#13If you purchase an App from the App store and then change your phone, I assume you should be able to carry over the paid app to your new phone. Does anybody know if the App Store enforces this and what (if anything) they do to vendors who violate this? It seems that there are numerous complaints on the review page of "word with friends" by people who paid for the Ad-free version but when they moved to a new device, t…

#14I really like the animation at the start of the article. How was that likely created? Edit: I know it’s a gif. I’d like to know what tool(s) Apple likely used to create the gif.

Could be anything, but since there is a lot of 3D my bet would be on Cinema 4D with some cel shaders.

Is there a unified library of podcasts and ratings on Android? As far as I know there's a number of apps that maintain their own libraries but nothing unified across the whole platform and built into the OS like iTunes.

The 3D effect is just an optical illusion coming from all these simple movements in 2D space.
Some creativity goes a long way!

This can happen, when non-scrupulous devs 'deprecate' an older version of their app in favor of the 'new' version. e.g., you buy 'CoolApp' and in-app purchase features for it. But oh no, 'CoolApp2' has come out and 'CoolApp' is no longer updated for newer devices, so sorry. Otherwise, an app, and its in-app purchase set remain available via a user's iTunes account indefinitely as far as I can tell.

#20Cannot believe how quickly a decade has passed since the debut of the first-gen iPhone and subsequent launch of the App store. I still have faint memories of watching a recap of the launch event keynote by Mr. Jobs on a local news channel (though my preteen brain didn't grasp its significance), while being completely oblivious (not that I was unique) to the revolution it was about to unleash in the lives of MILLIONS of developers in every nook and cranny of the planet -- with Google following suit, of course.
Think of the innumerable industries that have been born, millions (billions?) of lives that have been changed, trillions of dollars of value generated, all as a result of this tectonic shift in software distribution.
