O

ver the next two years, we’re

going to hear a lot about

Apple’s next transition. The

move from Intel to Apple’s

homegrown silicon (go.macworld.com/

hgrw) is one of the biggest moves the

company has ever made, one that’s sure

to impact the rest of the industry as much

as the Mac itself.

But that’s not the only transition that

Apple is embarking on. It might not have

gotten its own segment during the WWDC

keynote, but Apple laid down the tracks

for a major shift away from traditional apps

over the next several years. It won’t be as

sudden or even as quick as the move to

Apple’s silicon, but before long apps aren’t

going to be something we need to

After the Mac’s processors,

Apple’s next transition is apps

Less launching, more convenience.
