Apple Clips provide a fast and efficient way for users to access what the app has to offer. An App Clip is part of the original's module thus enabling the user to access parts of its functions. As technology advances app clips might become more and more relevant as users can use them without spending much effort for example when renting a bicycle, take-outs in a restaurant, users will be able to experience it from minutes to a matter of seconds. Finally, when the user is done experiencing what the app clips have to offer it will then provide the option to download the full app from the App Store.
Due to App Clips being a part of a whole module of an app it is able to provide limited functions of the original. The IOS SDK is what's used in the development of the full app alongside the app clip.
App Clips are what provide an opportunity for a quick demo on what the corresponding app has to offer, saving your time by allowing you to affirm its value towards the user and fasten the user thinking cycle to promote the user to download the full app. This opens up the possibility of giving a user an introduction before transitioning it to the full app
