      Guests can view and respond to an invitation using the new iPhone app or on the web without needing an iCloud+ subscription or an Apple Account.

    I sent my wife a test invite. It’s really cool and beats the hell out of making a new group text for every event to see if people want to come and hound them for answers.

      Why does this even exist beyond wanting more of peoples data?

        What? You really think such a service/feature is useless?

        You know event invites on Facebook was one of its biggest draws early on, right?

          If you don’t think they are collecting any user data I have a bridge to sell you.

              Information about upcoming social events is extremely easy to monetize.

              They already know the people, you just told them a valuable piece of ad targeting data that can be used against all your guests.

      Do you suspect anyone will sign up for iCloud just for this feature? Neither do I.

    With Apple Invites, users can create and easily share invitations, RSVP, contribute to Shared Albums, and engage with Apple Music playlists.

    This is actually really awesome. Simplifying the shared album process on its own is super helpful and helps illustrate to me why this is separate from the Calendar app.

    I wonder how long it will take until it’s shut down by the Apple morality police due to being used for porn.
