They Built One of the App Store’s Biggest Success Stories

They Built One of the App Store’s Biggest Success Stories

Today on Inside the Ecosystem, I sit down with Andrés Bou and Horacio Martos, the founders of Socialpoint and Labhouse, to talk about what it really takes to build apps on Apple’s platform for more than 15 years. They started Socialpoint in 2008, just months after the App Store launched, grew it to over 1 billion downloads, and sold it to Take-Two Interactive for around $250 million. Now, with Labhouse, they’re betting on the next era of iPhone apps: AI-powered tools like Invoice Fly, Summary AI, Cleaner GO, and Super AI Chat that turn your phone into a command center for productivity and small businesses. We talk about the early days of the App Store, building global apps from Barcelona, selling a company, the future of AI on iPhone, what Apple’s WWDC 2026 announcements mean for developers, and why the next generation of apps could look completely different.

I Asked Apple If They Were Late to AI

I interviewed Bob Borchers, Apple’s VP of Worldwide Product Marketing, to talk about the future of Siri, Apple Intelligence, and how AI is changing the Apple ecosystem. In this conversation, we discuss what Apple is building, why Siri matters more than ever, and what the next chapter of personal intelligence could look like across iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, and beyond.
