When Apple announced that it would release Apples for Android later this year, it represented the first foray into the Google ecosystem from the Cupertino giant. However, it seems that Apple is not going to stop there, if we are to believe a recent job that the company posted, reports 9to5Mac.

According to the announcement, Apple wants to hire a Software Engineer Applications ( "Applications Software Engineer" ) for Android. However, this does not stop at Apple Music, since Apple is "looking for engineers to help bring exciting new mobile products on the Android platform".
If this job leaves a huge mystery, we can bet that the best applications that Apple could do is porting the iWork suite of business applications and iCloud Drive. Given Microsoft's efforts to ensure that its Office suite is widely available for mobile, it would make sense for Apple to release its own suite of productivity applications in order to stem this tide from Redmond. In addition, free iCloud Drive on Android would provide another option for users to access their files.
Win-win
Of course, Apple may also release a lot of other applications, such as Safari, iMessage, and iTunes are the first candidates for migration. iMessage, in particular, would be a great move because of the multiple problems that users have come across over the years by not being able to receive iPhone owners messages after they have decided to use another smartphone.
Regardless of what other Apple applications could be worth to upgrade to Android, the company can no longer afford to ignore Android, iOS because loses some market share on mobile operating systems in the United States and China, which is both the largest smartphone market in the world. And the development of applications for Android would be a boon to consumers , as customers would no longer have to buy the Apple devices if they want to use applications like Page or any other application of the firm.
Apple has not yet revealed what will be the "new mobile products", so only time will tell if it has other Android developments in the works.
