In the Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC) this week Apple took its time talking about new features and applications that it plans to introduce with the coming major releases including iOS, macOS, watchOS, and iPadOS. Some of those features are available to users through third-party applications.
This implies that Apple “Sherlocked” certain of these concepts — that’s a term used to describe features that the company was inspired by through third-party software. In essence, users are more likely to utilize features that are integrated into systems over third-party applications, which impacts the business of third-party apps.
Why do we talk about “Sherlocking” in the first place? Apple introduced a search tool called Sherlock in macOS 8 in the late 1990s. It was designed for looking up files and the web on local systems of users. In the meantime, a company named Karelia Software had a $29 search application called Watson that had more features, like plug-ins that could improve internet search. in 2002 Apple came out with Sherlock 3 with features that were similar to Watson which made Karelia’s application obsolete and eventually caused the company to shut down.
