Niantic Inc., the developer behind Pokemon Go, believes that the entrance of Apple Inc.’s into virtual reality will change the trend. It believes that Apple has innovative and resourceful ideas, which can develop great games for the users. They also believe that Apple Inc. carries a bunch of talented people and can do anything, this will transform the industry.

In Brilliant Minds conference at Stockholm, John Hanke, CEO of Niantic has mentioned that “I don’t think anyone should bet against Apple. I personally think AR is going to be a really important next computing platform that can succeed the mobile phone. It’s a few years off. Apple will show enormous strength and reach in western markets such as the U.S. and Europe, a reception for iOS-only products may be different”.

Chief executive officer of Niantic used the stage to mention about the Pokemon Go festivals coming this summer, including one in Chicago and another in Yokohama, Japan. A further event will be held in a European city, although the CEO said finding a venue of sufficient size was proving difficult.
