Apple’s iPhone revenue declined in the first quarter 2020, but a big jump in services revenue and more than $10 billion from its wearables category highlight newer sources of growth. The Covid-19 pandemic hurt the quarterly earnings overall, but Apple CEO Tim Cook indicated that more recent sales numbers provide reason for optimism, and at least one Apple business expects the coronavirus to accelerate rather than hinder its near-term success.
It’s an Apple business most people don’t know much about, if they know it at all: Claris, which sells the low-code application development software called FileMaker.
“There is a massive opportunity for low code to help in the Covid-19 situation,” said Claris CEO Brad Freitag, who took the reins at the company last year and rebranded what had long been known as FileMaker under the Claris name.
No doubt that tools like FileMaker can be used to rapidly build solutions for hospitals, which this article points out, but I’m not sure COVID-19 is going to move the needle for the business in a major way.
