Parler -- the conservative Twitter -- is suing Amazon Web Services (AWS), which took the app offline. Why? Parler says President Trump’s potential move to the app would have made the platform more popular than Twitter, and AWS colluded with the blue bird to hold it down...

Over the holiday season, there was an unmissable sight in New York’s Times Square: a giant singing and dancing 3D avatar of Justin Bieber.
</p>
<p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
Digital Biebs was promoting a partnership with Amazon Music, and the whole thing was powered by
<a style="-webkit-text-fill-color: #d62829; color: #d62829; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">
Genies
</a>
, the world’s largest avatar company.
</p>
<p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
If you spend any time on the internet in 2021 -- and you
<em>
will
</em>
-- expect to see many more Genies-powered 3D avatars.

<strong>
Genies was founded in 2017…
</strong>
</h4>
<p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
… by Akash Nigam and Evan Rosenbaum. In its first few years of existence, the startup -- which has raised
<a style="-webkit-text-fill-color: #d62829; color: #d62829; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">
~$42m
</a>
-- built interactive 2D avatars and forged a network of celebrity influencers.
</p>
<p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
The startup took things to another level in October 2020 by introducing 3D avatars, along with a full software development kit (SDK).
</p>
<p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
At the time, Genie’s CEO
<a style="-webkit-text-fill-color: #d62829; color: #d62829; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">
told
</a>
<em>
The Hustle
</em>
that the long-term plan was to “allow everyone to fully express themselves in the digital world.”
</p>
<h4 style="font-size: 17px; height: 100%; letter-spacing: 0px; line-height: 22px; margin: 0px; padding-top: 8px;">
<strong>
The tech stack
</strong>
</h4>
<p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
Genies’ 3D avatars are powered by Unity Software, a $38B gaming software company that is
<a style="-webkit-text-fill-color: #d62829; color: #d62829; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">
used
</a>
in ~50%+ of mobile games and 60%+ of VR and AR content. Nigam tells
<em>
The Hustle
</em>
there are 3 key reasons why Genies is leveraging Unity:

<strong>
Customization:
</strong>
Genies effectively created its own “custom engine” with Unity’s tools and features.
</li>
<li style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 0 0 0 15px; padding: 0px;">
<strong>
Quality:
</strong>
Unity allows for the creation of avatars that can maintain “high fidelity” across devices and international markets.
</li>
<li style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 0 0 0 15px; padding: 0px;">
<strong>
Economics:
</strong>
Unlike its main competitor Epic Games (which takes a % of game revenue past a threshold), Unity uses the SaaS subscription model and Genies doesn’t have to pay a royalty.
</li>
</ol>
<p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
Unity lacks the cultural cache of Epic Games (the maker of Fortnite). So, a partnership with Genies is a particularly beneficial way to create buzz.

Jobandtalent experienced the surge in growth firsthand
</strong>
</h4>
<p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
The startup hit an impressive $600m+ in revenue, and the number of workers on its platform (80k+ in 2020) is doubling annually.
</p>
<p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">

</h4>

The iPhone was officially announced on Jan. 9, 2007. Since then, Apple has sold
<a style="-webkit-text-fill-color: #d62829; color: #d62829; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">
$1T
</a>
+ worth of high-end smartphones.
</p>
<p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
Those are jaw-dropping numbers, but the App Store figures are shockingly good in their own right.

<strong>
The App Store has paid $200B+ to developers since 2008
</strong>
</h4>
<p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
This is according to mobile analyst
<a style="-webkit-text-fill-color: #d62829; color: #d62829; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">
Horace Dediu
</a>
, who broke out even more recent figures:
</p>
<ul style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 12px;">
<li style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 0 0 0 15px; padding: 0px;">
<strong>
$1.8B:
</strong>
App Store sales in the last
<em>
week
</em>
of 2020 (+27% YoY)
</li>
<li style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 0 0 0 15px; padding: 0px;">
<strong>
$540m:
</strong>
App Store sales on Jan. 1, 2021 (+40% YoY)
</li>
<li style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 0 0 0 15px; padding: 0px;">
<strong>
600m:
</strong>
The number of iPhone users that have an active subscription
</li>
</ul>
<p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
By Dediu’s calculations, the App Store saw overall economic transactions of
<strong>
$675B
</strong>
in 2020. At the current growth rate, the implied economic value could reach
<strong>
$1T
</strong>
within
<em>
2 years
</em>

Apple’s antitrust risk
</strong>
</h4>
<p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
With cases against
<a style="-webkit-text-fill-color: #d62829; color: #d62829; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">
Facebook
</a>
and
<a style="-webkit-text-fill-color: #d62829; color: #d62829; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">
Google
</a>
already in play, the risk to Apple comes from its control of the App Store, which is a gateway to 1B+ users:
</p>
<ul style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 12px;">

</p>
<p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
There’s a very high likelihood that when App Store’s ecosystem does hit $1T, it will be knee-deep in an antitrust battle.

5k+ project ideas for 2021…
</strong>
</h2>
<p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
Last month, we came across a project called
<a style="-webkit-text-fill-color: #d62829; color: #d62829; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">
“Validated Ideas.”
</a>
</p>
<p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
It’s a list, put together by Huszko Joszef, of
<strong>
5k+ popular apps
</strong>
(100k+ downloads each) that have been poorly executed (ratings lower than 3.2).
</p>
<p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
Right away, our team thought two things:
</p>
<ol style="font-size: 15px;">
<li style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 0 0 0 15px; padding: 0px;">
“Validated Ideas” is a fantastic resource for those looking for a 2021 project to get started on
</li>
<li style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 0 0 0 15px; padding: 0px;">
5,000 ideas is
<strong>
a lot
</strong>
for someone to read through
</li>
</ol>
<p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
So,
<em>
<strong>
we did all the legwork for you.
</strong>
</em>
</p>
<p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
The Trends team sifted through Validated Ideas, summarized the top 20 categories of apps we saw on the list, and identified the
<strong>
best opportunities we found.
</strong>
</p>
<p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
When you read through the signal, you’ll learn:
