Apple ecosystem beyond the iPhone. All the things from tvOS to CarPlay - Remote


Details
After a great in-person presentation we have decided to take this online! Please join us via Zoom on Tuesday 4th July at 12pm.
Apple's technology and devices go way (way) beyond the iPhone and iPad. Their increasingly broad ecosystem includes everything from phone to iPad, EarPods, Watch, MacBook, Apple TV, Apple CarPlay, HomePod - and loads of underlying enablers - Apple Pay, music, photos, and a LOT more.
Everything is far more integrated than you might think, so when you are designing and building digital experiences to live on the iPhone or iPad - you could be thinking much more widely about journeys that extend across other devices, screens, wearables, and platforms. Sometimes with just a few more lines of code.
We'll touch on these sorts of things (with a design and dev lens):
- opportunities and considerations for future experiences that extend across the entire ecosystem and leverage both hardware and underlying enablers (e.g all the devices and things plus cloud, pay, home, etc)
- interaction patterns from touch to keyboard to focus (use of remote)
- key considerations for delivering companion experiences (e.g where you start a journey on one device and complete it on another)
- key considerations for delivering 'similar' experiences across multiple screens or endpoints (e.g. iPhone, iPad, Mac, tvOS)
- some specifics on how to tackle some of the devices you may be less familiar with e.g. Apple TV (tvOS) or CarPlay.
There will be lots of opportunities to ask questions! And we may even provide a sample canvas for an ecosystem map that you can try for your product.
