Top Apple News From The Past Week - Feb 25th to March 3rd

Posted by OneWiseMac Team on

Apple is a company that always stays in the spotlight. Be it a new product launch, rumours about its upcoming products or a controversy this company is always in the news. This week was not an exception and we had several interesting news about the world's largest and 'most admired' technology brand. Lets have a look at some of the most important news about Apple from this week.

Apple is looking at new product categories for its future devices

Apple is always looking at new categories to release products in and is known to dominate the ones it gets into. Recently Apple CEO Tim Cook at an annual shareholder meeting revealed that his company is looking to expand their reach to new product categories. While he didn't mention the product he and his team is looking at, the mere mention of the words 'new categories' got everyone excited. Apple is already rumoured to announce an Apple Television and an iWatch and perhaps it was a hint at what's coming in the next few years.
Here's what Tim Cook said
“Obviously we’re looking at new categories — we don’t talk about them, but we’re looking at them,”

Apple sells over 8 million iPads to Education sector worldwide

Apple's iPad has seen immense growth over the past few years and it is still the dominant tablet of the world with over half of the world's total tablet market share. Apple has recently revealed that it has sold over 8 million iPads worldwide in the education sector out of which 4.5 million were sold in the US and 3.5 million outside of it. The release of iPad mini has played a major role in increasing the overall sales of the Apple's tablet as it is not only cheaper but the company is selling a pack of 10 iPad minis at a discounted rate.

iPad mini sales are already overtaking larger iPad's sales

Well this hasn't come a surprise to us at all. It is reported that the iPad mini is overtaking the full sized iPad in terms of sales and demands. That is mostly due to low price factor, better looking design and even more portability than the larger version. The recent trend according to NPD DisplaySearch has compelled Apple to set a goal of selling 55 Million iPads minis and 33 million iPads in the year 2013. This will make the total expected sales of iPad tablet 88 Million for the year 2013.
Apple becomes Fortune's most admirable company for 6th straight year
Apple has once again topped the list of Fortune's most admired companies. This is the sixth time in a row Apple has been able to achieve the number one title. It is followed by Google and Amazon. Apple was considered the most Admirable company despite the poorer than usual performance of its stocks and the Maps controversy. However the sales of iPhone 5 and iPhone 4S in the Q4 of 2012 played a major role in helping Apple in retaining the position.

Apple Patent might be hinting at iWatch's functionality

The rumors about an iWatch are gaining momentum and it looks like we will finally have an Apple made wrist watch later this year. A patent filed by Apple has surfaced that shows company's research for wirelessly transmitting the location data of a person from his iPhone to an "accessory device". This might hint towards iWatch's functionality to receive location data from iPhone's GPS chip and suggest nearby locations such as restaurants or places of interest as well as show navigation using maps.

iWatch may be coming but in the meantime.....

Posted by OneWiseMac Team on

Wild speculation has abounded that Apple's next game-changing gizmo is set to be its iWatch. 

Billed as a smartphone you can wear on your wrist, the iWatch could be the Cupertino company’s answer to Google's Glass.

The new device was first reported on Bloomberg, which said that Apple has a team of about 100 product designers working on a wristwatch-like device that could perform some of the same functions as the iPhone and iPad.

Apple's new chief executive, Tim Cook, has yet to launch a new flagship device since he took over the company, following the death of Steve Jobs. While Jobs changed the music, mobile phone and mobile computing sectors irrevocably with the launch of the iPod, iPhone and iPad respectively, Cook has yet to introduce anything as head-turning as those devices. Faced with growing industry pressure and a sliding share price, the Apple iWatch is expected to be that device.

Expectations for the iWatch are already high, with many predicting that it will be nothing short of a wearable computer. 

The website MyVoucherCodes , for instance, commissioned Nickolay Lamm to create a rendering of what the new device could look like. His concept, which has circulated across the web, features a circular watch with a touchscreen and a “spiral” user interface.

Apple had applied for a patent for a spiral interface back in 2010 for its iPod but has never used the design.

Most interestingly, Lamm's fantasy iWatch is a device that can be controlled from your iPhone. This makes sense because the large screen on the iPhone would make the small watch much easier to navigate.

It many ways, this is a smartphone watch and the latest in a line of Apple accessories which will work seamlessly across its range of devices.

As for what people will use it for, few think the iWatch's primary role will be to tell the time. 

Apple already has a patent for wireless charging, so there's every possibility this will be introduced in the device - meaning you would never have to take it off your wrist. Voice activation, as featured in Google Glass, could be key in navigating the watch.

What's more, this could be the perfect fitness device - equipped with the ability to track how many calories you’re burning, how many miles you're walking and what your heart rate is at any given time.

As Apple accessories stand, the iWatch, is still in the realms of fantasy. But here on OneWiseMac, you can get a smartphone watch already. For £109.99 we have the COOKOO Watch which can keep you connected to your iPhone or iPad, even if your device is out of sight, using Bluetooth and the free iPhone app. The COOKOO watch will keep you informed of incoming and missed calls, text messages, emails, Facebook messages and other reminders. More functionality will come as the app develops.

OneWiseMac: Your new UK portal for everything Apple

Posted by OneWiseMac Team on

If you’re anything like us, you have a deep and meaningful relationship with every single one of your iProducts. From your iPhone to your iPad, choosing to purchase an Apple product isn’t like buying other consumers products, it’s a lifestyle choice.

We can happily while away hours trawling the internet for the latestApple accessories. And we know we’re not alone. Wherever we begin our journey, however, we love to end up in one place...

Kickstarter.com

Kickstarteris a crowdfunding website, started in 2009 by Perry Chen, Yancey Strickler, and Charles Adler. The site allows artists, filmmakers, musicians and inventors to pitch their creations to the world, in the hope of attracting potential investors. While bids can start at $1, the site has exploded over the last three years, announcing in May 2012 that it had raised more than $200 million from two million investors in its short, but illustrious, existence.

The Apple connection

Given Kickstarter’s popularity, it’s no surprise that it’s the birth place of some of the most innovative Apple accessories.

The COOKOO watch, which keeps you connected to your iPhone or iPad, even if your device is out of sight, and theUne Bobinefor iPhone and iPod Touch, a flexible and stylish sync and charging cable for use anywhere with a USB port, both had their start on the site. Perhaps the most iconic Apple accessory to trace its roots back to Kickstarter, however, is the Pebble. With an initial, humble fundraising target of $100,000, the iPhone-friendly watch clocked up a remarkable $10.2 million in pledges.

If you’re serious about innovative Apple products, then Kickstarter always has some undiscovered gems. If you’re a UK resident, however, finding out that the most innovative, sleek or gorgeous new iPhone or iPad accessory is only in available in the U.S. can rapidly take the wind out of your sails.
