> I don't think it shows yet but I think the dominance of the App Store will end. I think a ton of iOS apps will be replaced by ChatGPT/Claude.

Huh? I just took a look at my phone -- I have about 100 apps on there, though probably only use 20 of them with any regularity. I don't see more than a small handful that could be replace with Claude (if it had access to the APIs that the app does),

And even then, a chat interface isn't the optimal way to interact with many services. Random example: A simple metronome / tuner. Could I ask Claude to play a tick at a certain frequency for X amount of time, or a E-flat? Sure. Would it be easier than using the app? No. Could Claude design a metronome app for me? Yes, but I don't want to have to deal with that process -- I just want a metronome app that works and I don't have to spend time designing or fiddling with, and that works offline, and all of that is well worth the $5 I might spend to buy it.
