Apple Launches 'Invites' App for Event Planning, Exclusive to iCloud+ Users

The new app offers customizable event planning features but lacks a native Android version, limiting its cross-platform appeal.

Apple's new 'Invites' app allows users to plan events with features like customizable invitations, RSVP tracking, and shared photo albums.
The app integrates with Apple Maps and Weather to provide event details and supports collaborative Apple Music playlists.
Creating events is restricted to iCloud+ subscribers, though anyone can respond to invitations via the web interface.
Android users can only access the app through a web browser, leading to criticisms about Apple's limited cross-platform support.
The app highlights Apple's strategy of prioritizing its ecosystem, raising questions about its impact on user accessibility and service adoption.
