Even roll your own apps to your employees, bypassing the AppStore review?

Upd: the video suggests that there are 'collections' which distribute apps to users, but it is not clear if own apps can be included in these using Enterprise certificates.

This will be huge.

There is a product I have been wanting to make, there is demand (customers have been asking for it), but would never work with the distributed personal iCloud accounts before. This will allow to consolidate all of it under businesses accounts.

Interesting enough, have other people in my circles that also have wanting to port somethings to be native like this and haven't due to being business apps and the 'individual accounts' being a show stopper to share licenses.

There’s a few headlines talking about backups - does apple finally have a cloud based time machine replacement? I’d be so excited to see that as a general consumer too.

I think that's unlikely to be a thing they're working on. You can get that from storing your files in iCloud already, and these days is there any good reason to back up the rest of your system? If I had to rebuild a system due to hardware failure the absolute last thing I'd want to do would be restore all the accumulated system cruft!
