en.Wedoany.com Reported - Apple announced at the 2026 Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC 2026) an expansion of the App Bundles feature, allowing developers to collaborate with each other to create bundles, offering users a discounted price lower than the sum of individual subscriptions.

Previously, this feature typically only allowed developers with multiple apps to bundle and sell their own apps. Now, developers can collaborate across app catalogs, drawing on increasingly common strategies in the streaming and media sectors, such as companies like HBO and Disney bundling subscription services to enhance perceived user value and retain customers.

For developers with overlapping user bases but who are not direct competitors, bundles make business sense. Taking creative apps as an example, one could envision a bundle containing a camera app, photo and video editing tools, and an app for publishing content on social media. Similarly, productivity app developers can partner with those offering complementary products, allowing users to purchase a bundle that includes one developer's to-do list and another developer's calendar app.

Apple stated that developers will also be allowed to create "Suites" that cannot be purchased individually. This year's WWDC 2026 also includes updates to Siri AI, new artificial intelligence features for the Apple Photos app, and updates to Apple Intelligence this year.
