Description

This week, Federico and John examine the widening gap between consumer and enterprise apps, asking what happened to prosumer and small business app market.


On AppStories+, John doesn’t buy Apple’s explanation of why the iPhone 16e doesn’t have MagSafe and has an email-adjacent theory about task managers.
