#22> Creation of invitations requires an iCloud+ subscription.
Maybe it's just me, but seems a bit extreme for what amounts to a fancy calendar invite.
What's really extreme is that you need an iCloud+ subscription if you want more than 5GB of iCloud storage… so requiring the subscription for this app is not much of a hurdle

#23What's wrong with "create a Whatsapp group and invite all your friends there, and if they don't care they just mute/leave"?

#25This era of new experimental apps from Apple (Invites, Journal, Sports) has me excited about the future of app design. Vibrant colors, bold personality-driven typography, etc. The SwiftUI style onboarding screen that features the carousel is really fun. This approach feels very Apple'y, but gives me more freedom to explore designs for my own app to have its own unique voice on iOS, while still feeling in-family with…
It might be thought of as a bug but I love that the Apple Sports app announces scores for a live game before it hits TV.

For me it would be ... I don't use Whatsapp and I don't know many who do.
Can I send invites from Whatsapp and get responses from people who don't use it?
Honestly I've never received one.

#28Brilliant move.
The transition of the major social networks over the last 10-15 years -- from being a space for friends to interact to being a space to consume content produced by "unconnected" entities like influencers -- has created a huge opening for someone to claim the friends and family network. There is no one better positioned (at least in the U.S. where iPhones are the majority handset) than Apple.

Less latency is a feature, not a bug. We've just grown too used to latency in everything we use.

From the third sentence of TFA:
> anyone can RSVP, regardless of whether they have an Apple Account or Apple device.
