This video dives into the often-overlooked struggles of startups that create clever innovations, only to be overshadowed by Apple’s own features. It highlights stories like f.lux, a blue light filtering app that inspired Apple’s Night Shift, and Pebble, an early smartwatch pioneer, which was eventually eclipsed by the Apple Watch. Along the way, we explore how Apple’s decisions have stifled these innovations, including unique apps like Knock and Lala. It’s a fascinating look at how small companies with big ideas face the daunting challenge of competing with tech giants.

oh i am early
time to build ai saas then
Very interesting and insightful video again, where's that link for newsletter subscription that you mentioned in the video I can't find it in the description
What about the Dark Sky Company???
I might be wrong but weren't some of these apps and startups also affected by Microsoft and Google doing what Apple was doing?
(I honestly just want to know)
Caya, your storytelling skills is A+. Well done & great video
Was flux really a start up though? Or more of just a hobby. I used it for a long time, and I don’t think they ever even tried to charge me
Missing SoundJam here that I suspect Apple took as inspiration for things in iTunes…
Beeper was active way before December 2023, it was founded in 2020, and it wasn’t the 16 year old’s brain child. The Beeper team (Eric and co) had already been working on getting iMessage to android before then. James just found an easier way for them to integrate with imessage hence the Beeper mini spinoff. I still use Beeper today and the android app is actually super fantastic for getting all your messages in one place. More credit to the Beeper team please!
