Apple has reportedly acquired Stamplay, an Italian developer platform co-founded past times Giuliano Iacobelli as well as Nicola Mattina, for a reported v 1000000 euros, or nearly $5.7 1000000 the United States of America dollars.

As start out spotted past times setteBIT, the bargain was reported this forenoon past times Italian paper Il Sole 24 Ore. The Italian-language study appears to lack Apple’s criterion boilerplate statement.

The Stamplay website was stripped of lots of content inwards the past times few weeks ahead of the acquisition, a tell-tale sign of an Apple deal. When Apple does teach small-scale startups, it unremarkably issues a semi-confirmation inwards the shape of a contention saying, “Apple buys smaller technology companies from fourth dimension to fourth dimension as well as nosotros to a greater extent than oftentimes than non exercise non verbalize over our role or plans.”.

Apple avrebbe acquisito l’italiana (emigrata inwards UK) Stamplay, startup che realizza app con "poco codice" (sito già svuotato e dipendenti a Cupertino. Anche @Giuliano84 & @NicolaMattina? https://t.co/Ib3DJ47sis). Lo direbbe StartupItalia (niente online) via https://t.co/eequAuI2K1 pic.twitter.com/BhgntGemAi

According to the Stamplay website, their low-code workflow automation platform lets businesses streamline manual operate past times integrating information as well as describe of piece of employment concern apps. As noted past times MacRumors, Stamplay’s API-based evolution platform lets developers gear upwards as well as launch “full-featured cloud-based spider web apps.”

This is from Stamplay’s LinkedIn page:

The powerful web-based editor includes everything a developer needs to exercise as well as run a powerful backend for their app, including pop APIs similar Stripe (payments), Sendgrid (email), Twilio (SMS as well as VoIP), Pusher (realtime notifications) as well as many more.

Apple has never been big on cloud computing inwards a feel that would teach inwards teach many specialized, cloud-focused startups. This detail acqui-hire, or a talent-based acquisition, could trial inwards approximately novel spider web services from Apple, though I’m merely speculating here.

It could likewise sum to nothing.

Thoughts?
