I'm joined in this episode by Ben Guerrette.

Ben is the Creative Director of Pixite, at Pixite, a small company that’s been flying high in the App Store for many years. Pixite have many apps in the store, ranging from creative journalling, graphic design, through to their colourful drawing and relaxation app, Pigment.

Pixite have gone from strength to strength, with app revenue bootstrapping the business into life, and consistent App Store features for their products. As dynamics have changed with the App Store and revenue, Pixite have had to adapt their approach and business model for revenue. I thought I’d catch up with Ben to find out more.

I hope you enjoy the show,

Dave Nott has departed for pastures new, and I bid him farewell and a heartfelt thanks for all of the episodes we've recorded in what is now Season 1 of this podcast.

After some accidental headphone discussion, we catch up with how Dave Wood has been getting on with his SwiftUI journey.

We wrap with the news that we're taking a break, and will be putting the podcast on pause for the next few weeks. In the mean time, we hope that you all stay well and keep safe.

We failed not to talk about Epic and Apple, the App Store, and many other things. Meanwhile, Dave Wood started a twitter thread for iOS indie apps and their developers 🚀

Dave Wood is recovering well from his concussion, and making steady progress with the SwiftUI rebuild of his video mixing app.

Meanwhile, Dave Nott is home alone, and considering leaving iOS for the world of video streaming, and online gaming.

This week, we think about PC vs Mac pricing, and how Apple remain relevant and appealing in the face of such incredible value from the PC market.

We also discuss how the move to Apple Silicon will play out for Apple, and the industry at large. And finally, Dave Nott built an app... !
