The week has been a mixed bag for Apple. On one hand, the company launched a new iPhone app for organizing events and being social. On the other hand, it had to contend with a third-party app store offering a porn app in the European Union. The combination of these two events is sure to draw attention.<\/p>\n
But first, Apple Invites, a new iPhone app to manage your social life, was launched. This app allows you to host an unlimited number of events, each limited to 100 participants. It also allows you to invite non-iPhone users, which is a unique feature. You can use your own photos or backgrounds in the app as an image for the invite and even arrange a communal playlist through Apple Music.<\/p>\n
The app also includes Apple Intelligence, which is built into Image Playground to generate images for your events when there aren’t any appropriate photos. This feature is designed to make it easier for users to create visually appealing events.<\/p>\n
