equal pay for equal work: Apple says all US employees


AN INTERNAL STUDY FOUND WHITE MALES EARN MORE AT APPLE THAN WOMEN AND MINORITIES

Today, Apple discharged redesigned assorted qualities figures showing it has gained slight however enduring ground in procuring more ladies and underrepresented minorities — and guaranteeing those representatives are paid the same as their white male partners. The new numbers, laid out on Apple's devoted differing qualities and consideration site page, demonstrate the organization expanded the rate of female new contracts from 31 percent in 2014 to 37 percent so far this year, while the figure for underrepresented minorities has expanded from 21 percent of new contracts to 27 percent in 2016. Apple arranges underrepresented minorities as "Dark, Hispanic, Native American, Native Hawaiian, and Other Pacific Islander" in its report.

While Apple's advancement has been moderate as to enlisting, it is rolling out more significant improvements to how it remunerates people.

It did as such by breaking down pay rates, rewards, and yearly stock awards, to guarantee its laborers in comparable parts with fair execution gain the same measure of cash.

Today, Apple discharged overhauled assorted qualities figures showing it has gained slight however enduring ground in contracting more ladies and underrepresented minorities — and guaranteeing those workers are paid the same as their white male partners. The new numbers, laid out on Apple's committed assorted qualities and consideration website page, show the organization expanded the rate of female new contracts from 31 percent in 2014 to 37 percent so far this year, while the figure for underrepresented minorities has expanded from 21 percent of new contracts to 27 percent in 2016.

While Apple's advancement has been moderate with respect to enlisting, it is rolling out more generous improvements to how it remunerates people. As indicated by the report, the organization has helped pay holes amongst white and nonwhite representatives and men and ladies in the US. It did as such by breaking down compensations, rewards, and yearly stock stipends, to guarantee its laborers in comparative parts with impartial execution acquire the same measure of cash.

"In the event that a hole exists, we'll address it. What's more, we'll proceed with our work to ensure we keep up pay value," Apple wrote in the report. "We've accomplished pay value in the United States for comparable parts and execution. Ladies procure one dollar for each dollar male representatives win. What's more, underrepresented minorities win one dollar for each dollar white workers win."

President Tim Cook said in February that an inward year-long study discovered ladies at Apple made 99.6 pennies on the dollar contrasted and men, while underrepresented minorities made 99.7 pennies on the dollar contrasted and white representatives. It shows up the organization has acted quick to settle the distinction. There has likewise been mounting weight from contending tech firms; in April, both Facebook and Microsoft guaranteed female representatives now win the same as male ones


Apple still overwhelmingly utilizes white guys, with men speaking to 67 percent of its workforce and white representatives speaking to 54 percent of the aggregate workforce. Those numbers have changed by close to 1 rate point following 2014, when Apple started freely listing the numbers. The organization says it's focused on enhancing those numbers in all cases, to guarantee the sexual orientation and racial cosmetics of Apple is an "impression of our general surroundings." Apple finished off its differences report with this last articulation:

Confirms iPhone 7 Serious Problem

We know practically everything the up and coming iPhone 7: the projecting camera, broadly missing earphone jack, updated capacity alternatives, the absence of a home "catch" and now we have another nitty gritty video contrasting the iPhone 7 with the iPhone 6S. In any case, what the video uncovers for me is one major issue…

How is the iPhone 7 going to energize standard clients?

Watching the full video (accomplished by the productive and reliably precise Nowhereelse.fr) resemble playing a session of Spot The Difference:

Yes tech fans will indicate the previously stated camera, the refined recieving wire lines and inescapable inward overhauls yet to standard tech purchasers the iPhone 7 resembles the 2014 iPhone 6 once more and without a simple approach to connect to their earphones.

'The main thing that is changed is everything' was Apple AAPL - 0.01%'s advertising strategy to zest up enthusiasm for the outwardly indistinguishable iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus, however deals drastically fell without precedent for iPhone history.

Another 'There's energizing stuff, you can't see it' crusade for the iPhone 7 isn't going to reignite purchasers' energy, regardless of whether you put stock in "Top iPhone"

There's not even a noteworthy new innovation this time around like 3D Touch in the iPhone 6S to hang iPhone 7 trusts on. Simply the information you'll require an earphone connector and not have the capacity to listen to music while charging your telephone.

Better camera? Beyond any doubt. Quicker? Obviously. Better outer speaker sound? In fact. Be that as it may, few will refer to these as regions in urgent need of change from the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6S.

Eventually in case you're going to take away something clients adore and depend upon like the earphone jack, you better cover this terrible news around executioner substitution highlights (like an energizing new plan or even the make up for lost time of remote charging) yet with the iPhone 7 Apple doesn't – one disconnected hole aside – seem to have them.

People expectationson Apple macOS Sierra

Apple doesn't simply assemble separate items with various capacities and structures, rather it has a dream of associated processing in which every one of its gadgets and working frameworks collaborate together.

cell phones tablet cell phones

Versatile administration tackles applications, content

Endeavor portable administration suites are including application and substance administration elements to the list of

Perused NOW

Progression, Handoff

On the off chance that you've been focusing you'll have officially seen how valuable such Continuity and Handoff amongst Macs and iPhones can be, this is the reason you can:

Begin an email on iOS and completion it on the Mac

Accept a call (or send a SMS) on your Mac utilizing your iPhone's transporter

Effectively share documents between gadgets.

These are all really helpful (I utilize the Mac to make calls a terrible part) however the way Macs and its gadgets cooperates enhances drastically in macOS Sierra (now up to its second designer beta sneak peak). On the off chance that you've missed this present, here's the rundown:

Messages

Apple's made the ability to hand calls amongst Macs and iPhones much more steady, and now you can undoubtedly switch between gadgets. This implies you can begin visiting on your iPhone and after that move to utilizing your Mac to talk.

Auto-open

Apple drew wheezes and commendation when it reported this at WWDC a month ago: Auto-open. This implies on the off chance that you are wearing an Apple Watch that is validated to the same Apple ID as the Mac you need to utilize you will be consequently signed into that Mac when you draw near to it. You won't have to utilize your login watchword to dispatch your Mac.

Apple Pay

When you buy things utilizing a good online store you will have the capacity to tap the Apple Pay symbol on the item utilizing Safari on your Mac and afterward finish that buy utilizing TouchID on your iPhone or by double tapping the side catch on your Apple Watch. The procedure is very secure – even against "man in the center" assaults. That is on account of you no won't have to impart credit or plastic numbers to an online vendor and genuine card numbers are not put away on your gadget, nor on Apple servers.

iCloud Desktop and Documents

I've been utilizing Sierra on a Mac throughout the previous couple of weeks and I'm truly loving this element. It implies your Desktop and Documents records are consequently put away in iCloud, which implies they are then accessible in iCloud Drive on all your Apple gadgets, or on iCloud.com on Windows PCs. This lets you safely store all your travel reports in the cloud, for instance.

Widespread Clipboard

Another lead highlight, Universal Clipboard gives you a chance to duplicate and glue between your gadgets. This implies you can duplicate a photograph on your iPad and after that glue it into a record on your Mac; or make a rundown on the Mac to use on an iPhone.

One additionally thing

This savvy combination isn't simply kept to iOS gadgets and Macs, even Apple TV gets a cut of the activity. With the inevitable Remote application introduced on an iPhone, when you are required to sort content in the content passage box on an Apple TV a Notification will naturally show up on your iPhone. Tap that Notification and you will be driven specifically to the console on your Remote application, empowering you to rapidly and effectively enter content. (There's parcels more on future Apple TV enhancements here).

Apple Supporting Older Hardware the curse

Envision two situations:

1.) Apple utilizes working framework moves up to deliberately limp more established equipment to urge or constrain clients to purchase new gadgets.

on the other hand

2.) Apple makes an astonishing showing with regards to of conveying the most recent OS enhancements to years-old gadgets, supporting more established equipment far longer than any contender.

Distinctive individuals can watch Apple's update cycle—and its effect on the most established gadgets—and think of various conclusions. As I would see it, there are two unpreventable realities. The first is that nobody on the planet makes a superior showing with regards to of supporting more seasoned equipment. In the Android world, most gadgets never get a solitary redesign, not to mention moves up to new eras of working frameworks.

The second is that the most established era of gadgets upheld by any given overhaul are going to run it the minimum well. Frequently, it may even be slower execution than the past working framework advertised.

Putting that second point another way: duh. More seasoned equipment with more established processors and different segments are slower than more current gadgets.

Apple’s Mobile Payment Service No, We Don’t Take Apple Pay’:

There might be more than a 2 million places that now acknowledge Apple Pay in the U.S., yet the German eatery where Tim Cook went to get espresso is not one of them.

Cook was in Sun Valley, Idaho, going to the yearly Allen and Co. Meeting when he ceased at the curious foundation to get some espresso. At the point when the Apple CEO inquired as to whether Apple Pay is acknowledged as a method of installment, he was met with "No" as an answer.

Apple Pay was dispatched in 2014, hailed to be a progressive remote installment arrangement. It's still a work in advancement however numerous foundations have gotten on, embracing Apple's portable installment administration. Sadly, Cook risked upon one specifically that has not executed the administration.

A portion of the foundations that do acknowledge Apple Pay include: American Eagle Outfitters, Best Buy, Crate and Barrel, Dunkin' Donuts, Foot Locker, GameStop, Jamba Juice, Levi's, Macy's, McDonald's, Office Depot, Peet's Coffee, Sephora, Trader Joe's, Walgreens and White Castle. Anthropologie, Baskin' Robbins, Renaissance Hotels, T-Mobile and Urban Outfitters are set to take after soon.

The versatile installment administration is accessible to iPhone 6/6s, 6/6s Plus and SE clients. More seasoned era iPhones don't have close field correspondence (NFC) chips so they are not good with Apple Pay purpose of-offer frameworks. Those with more seasoned iPhones can in any case exploit Apple Pay, notwithstanding, with the assistance of an Apple Watch. The wearable gadget will must be combined with a telephone, yet Apple Pay might be utilized notwithstanding when the telephone is not present.

Cook said Apple's portable installment administration is developing at a huge rate so it won't not be too much sooner than the German eatery he was in will begin tolerating Apple Pay. In any case, Apple may need to keep an eye out for Walmart Pay, the chain store's own particular portable installment framework, which is presently running in Washington, DC and 33 different states, including California and New York.

Walmart sees 140 million clients every week and at present doesn't acknowledge Apple Pay and portable installment administrations from different suppliers. As indicated by information from 2015, 22 million of these week after week clients as of now utilize Walmart Pay. This may sound overwhelming however Apple can really unwind in light of the fact that Walmart did not build up the administration to tackle Apple Pay. Or maybe, Walmart Pay was principally intended to enhance checkout by and large, and not simply installment.

Apple store about Apple products by Customer

The previous winter for my birthday my dad gave me a $250 Apple present card that I could use in Apple's block and-mortar stores or its online store.

I was pretty stirred at first. While $250 doesn't purchase you much in an Apple Store, subtracting that sum from the sticker price of say, an iPhone, iPad or MacBook, makes you have a feeling that you're getting it. What's more, for my situation, as a worker of CBS (CNET's guardian organization), I get a 5 percent rebate on numerous yet not all items in Apple Stores, which covers the assessment.

In any case, I kept running into an issue: As I pondered a buy I continued seeing better arrangements on Apple items in stores where I couldn't utilize my Apple blessing card. Amid the 2015 Christmas season Best Buy ran specials on the iPad Air 2, Apple Watch, MacBooks and iMacs. Staples, Target, and B&H Photo were likewise in on the Apple markdown diversion. The Apple Watch was $100 off. The iPad Air 2 got $125 value cleave. Etc.

This past May Best Buy had these arrangements, probably with Apple's favoring:

9.7-inch iPad Pro 128GB for $649 (consistently $749)

12.9-inch iPad Pro 32GB for $640 (consistently $799)

Most up to date 13-inch MacBook Air 1.6GHz/8GB/128GB for $850 dispatched (routinely $999)

12-inch MacBook 1.1GHz/8GB/256GB (2015) for $899 sent (consistently $1,299)

At that point I really purchased an Apple item without utilizing my blessing card. A month ago I grabbed a Geek Squad guaranteed revamped Apple Watch Sport for $226, best case scenario Buy as a Father's Day present. Apple likewise offers revamped items, however you won't see it offering $226 42mm Apple Watches (the one I got was in immaculate working request with not a scratch on it).

Streak forward to today. Best Buy has the most recent Apple 13-inch MacBook Air 1.6GHz/8GB/128GB for $850 sent (routinely $999) and "open-box" variants accessible for even less. It additionally has $100 off a section level 21.5-inch iMac. Amazon has it at the same cost, as well

New Apple TV will compete with Amazon Echo

The current Apple TV and the Siri Remote.



Apple is working on its answer to Amazon’s Echo, the voice-activated assistant packaged inside a speaker, but it may come in the form of a refreshed Apple TV, rather than a new hardware product, VentureBeat has learned.
The company will build on its enhancements to the Apple TV announced last year, which brought the Siri virtual assistant to the set-top box. A new version of the Apple TV will solve problems with the existing box and remote control, a source familiar with the matter claims.
“They want Apple TV to be just the hub of everything,” the source told VentureBeat.
Earlier this week The Information reported on plans to build “an Amazon Echo-like device with a speaker and microphone.” Our source, however, says the device will be the Apple TV.
Apple has considered several options — turning the existing Apple TV into a more comprehensive assistant, making the Apple TV’s Siri Remote the key device, or even building a standalone speaker just like Echo. Ultimately, the third option was dropped, given how much money Apple has spent on the development of Apple TV.
The problem with using the remote as the hub is that it doesn’t have a battery — it needs to be charged occasionally with a Lightning cable. The box itself has no microphone, but if it did, fan noise from a nearby device, like a television, could make speech recognition challenging. The Apple TV will eventually get its own microphone and speaker, the source said.
The current box can handle dictation, but processing queries and serving up results requires additional computing infrastructure, and Apple is working on that, the source said.
The Apple TV represents more than just a set-top box that can replace a cable box. Apple wants to own the living room and the connected home in general, the source said. A more powerful Apple TV would be a stronger foundation for new Apple products.

All Glass Phone is confirmed by Apple Leaks

Last month the world’s most accurate Apple AAPL +1.77% tipster revealed the company is working on a radical ‘all glass’ new iPhone. The news was met with cynicism and excitement in equal measure, and now a major Apple supplier has confirmed it…


Speaking at its annual shareholder meeting Allen Horng, chairman and chief executive of long time iPhone chassis maker Catcher Technology , said Apple will make its 2017 iPhone using a glass casing.

Breaking down the radical shift, Horng said using a glass chassis would prove expensive and that Catcher requires “advanced processing technology” to pull it off. He also explained that the chassis would need to be reinforced by a metal frame.

The move is expected to go far beyond Apple’s previous glass backed iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S and rival Samsung’s recent Galaxy S and Note lines by using a single piece of glass for the whole exterior. Pull that off and Apple would certainly have a smartphone that looked like no other.

But it isn’t all good news.

Horng said that “As far as I know, only one [iPhone] model will adopt glass casing next year” and, given the range’s pricing, that would suggest the iPhone 8 Plus (Apple is expected to skip the iPhone 7S moniker for the iPhone’s 10th anniversary) or even the hotly rumoured iPhone Pro.

Apple, Google Locked in Battle for Supremacy

At the top of the corporate world, Apple and Google are in a back-and-forth battle to be number one.

It's not clear which of the two Silicon Valley giants will emerge on top in a contest which highlights the contrast of very different business models.

For a brief time early this year, Google parent Alphabet overtook Apple as the world's largest company by market value.

Apple then regained, lost and recovered the leader position in May in a battle that appears set to continue for some time.

At the close Friday, Apple was worth some $522 billion (roughly Rs. 35,13,852 crores), to $496 billion (roughly Rs. 33,38,832 crores) for Alphabet.

The two companies have both been hugely profitable in recent years, for different reasons.

Apple has delivered a line of must-have iPhones and other gadgets that have set trends around the world but now "appears to be a little bit immobile," says Roger Kay, analyst at Endpoint Technologies Associates.

Apple shares have slumped some 30 percent over the past 12 months over concerns that its stunning growth pace is slowing and that the iPhone won't be able to rake in profits as it has up to now.

Finding next thing
Kay said Apple may be losing the position of innovation leader it achieved after the iPhone, with no new major hit products coming.

"They haven't really changed the nature of the game," Kay said.

"The (Apple) Watch came in, it was kind of interesting, people liked it... but developers are still searching for exactly how to use it."

Google, meanwhile, been evolving from a pure search engine to a leader in mobile with its Android operating system.

And it has at the same time been investing in "moonshots" - grand ventures that may have potential such as self-driving cars, fiber networks and Internet balloons.

Google "has positioned itself well, through organic investments and acquisitions, for most of the major trends in consumer Internet: mobile, video, local," said RBC Capital Markets analyst Mark Mahaney in a research note.

Kay said the Android system which powers some 80 percent of mobile handsets is a valuable franchise that helps Google's mobile advertising efforts.

"The narrative that has boosted Google is the one about technology innovation and being at the wellhead of various important technologies," Kay said.

"That may or may not finally pay off. But they're looking. They're using their money to try to find innovative things to make the next big thing, whatever it is."

For Apple, a key moment will come later this year with the expected unveiling of its iPhone 7, a test on whether it can keep up its innovation and entice consumers to trade up.

The two companies have a virtual duopoly on the smartphone market, but Apple makes its own hardware and software while Google provides only the free Android software for handsets, including many made by low-cost manufacturers.

Showing intelligence
Google has been taking pains to show off its software and artificial intelligence.

At its just-concluded developer conference, Google unveiled a virtual home assistant as well as an upgraded messaging platform.

Google claims it is ahead of its rivals in artificial intelligence, and cites as proof its victory in the ancient game of Go by its supercomputer AlphaGo.
Apple, Google Locked in Battle for Supremacy
And Google also has shown its interest in virtual reality, adapting its upcoming version of Android to deliver more lifelike images, which could help in its battle against Apple.

But few are ready to count out Apple, which is known for keeping its research efforts secret, and which has a massive cash stockpile of some $233 billion (roughly Rs. 15,68,658 crores).

Apple is widely believed to be working on some automobile project, and recently announced a $1 billion investment in Chinese ride hailing app Didi Chuxing, the bitter rival of US-based Uber.

Apple also moved to expand its global footprint by announcing plans for a development office in Hyderabad, India and a new app design center in Bengaluru.

Even with Apple's share price in a slump, billionaire Warren Buffett disclosed he had taken a $1 billion stake, suggesting the shrewd investor sees Apple as undervalued.

The research firm Trefis said the latest Apple investment in Didi "signals that the company could get more creative" in using its vast financial resources.

From arrogance to servility: Apple’s U-turn in India

In September 2014, Apple launched the much-awaited iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 plus. The new phones were launched in 10 countries, including Hong Kong and Singapore in Asia, on the same day. But as has been the case for over a decade, Apple neither launched the two devices in India nor announced a date by which the smartphones would be made available in the country.


The company’s fans in the country purchased the phones in the grey market for anywhere between Rs100,000 to Rs200,000—around five times the official price in the US.

India was definitely not high on Apple’s radar till a few years ago. “I love India but I believe that Apple has higher potential…in some other countries. That doesn’t mean we’re not interested in India—we are. We’re going to continue putting some energies there, but in the intermediate term there will be larger opportunities elsewhere,” Apple CEO Tim Cook said in July 2012.

But over the recent months, India has become a promising market for the American tech giant. While announcing the company’s quarterly earnings on April 26, Cook called India a “really great opportunity.” “We’ve been working (in India) with great energy over the last 18 months or so, and I am encouraged by the results that we’re beginning to see there,” Cook said during the company’s earnings call.

And, less than a month later, Cook made his first official trip to the world’s second largest smartphone market.

New love

Until recently, Apple was just playing in the premium smartphone segment in India, which is around 4% of the overall market as per some estimates. Now, the company desperately wants to sell more affordable, refurbished phones, which would drastically improve its sales in a price-sensitive India. So far, it has failed to get an approval for the same from the government.

Despite regulatory restrictions, India is among the top priorities for Apple going forward, Cook said in an interview to television channel NDTV. The company is now approaching India “very humbly” and hoping to stay in the market for a “thousand years,” he said.

On the first day of Cook’s trip, Apple announced the setting up of a mobile apps accelerator in Bengaluru by early 2017. On the next day, Cook inaugurated Apple’s new office in Hyderabad. The company will hire up to 4,000 new employees at this office, Apple said.

Even tough the company did not announce the exact amount of investments in the two new facilities, Cook told NDTV that Apple would spend “several hundred million dollars” on the Hyderabad office and the Bengaluru centre would also be a “major investment.”

Cook also met several Indian business leaders, including senior executives of Reliance Industries, ICICI Bank, Bharti Airtel and Tata Group. He engaged with the country’s booming technology startup industry and visited the office of online restaurant discovery startup Zomato. The Apple boss even found the time to visit an Indian temple, attend a Bollywood party and watch a cricket match.

However, the lack of investment numbers disappointed some commentators. “I will call it a great exploration effort, and do not see any immediate results,” Vishal Tripathi, research director at Gartnertold IANS. “I won’t call his visit a wow factor at this moment.”

Slowing China

Cook’s trip to Asia came at a time when Apple’s growth is slowing in its second-largest market China, and rising sharply in India. In the company’s second quarter, revenue from China fell for the first time ever, while it rose by 56% in India.

India is now touted as the next China for Apple. However, Cook said there was no connection between the two developments.

“It (plan for India) has nothing to do with China,” Cook told NDTV. “India is different than China. India is a different place and we are going into India very humbly. We’ve been selling here for a while as you know, but we are taking a step back in viewing India strategically and I do believe that the reforms that are going in India, means that India has an enormously bright future and we would like to be a part of that.”

During the second quarter of 2016, Apple’s revenue in China stood at$12.5 billion (pdf). In comparison, India is a minuscule fraction of the company’s business. The company does not even break down its revenue for India and according to some estimates, the country makes for less than 1% of Apple’s overall sales. And while Apple made no big bang announcements in India, Cook made a massive $1-billion investment in a local ride-hailing service, Didi Chuxing.

But the secretive company seems to be waiting for the right time to start making big bets on Asia’s third largest economy.

“You know I came here to learn about the people and the culture and how business is done and what people are interested in and their hopes and aspirations,” Cook told NDTV. “I’m leaving with more knowledge.”

Apple Confirms iOS 9.3.2 Has A Serious Problem

iOS 9.3.2 may have a great secret feature, but it has also been causing serious problems and now Apple AAPL +1.08% has taken decisive action…

Today the company announced it has pulled the update for all owners of the iPad Pro 9.7. Launched just two months ago, the iPad Pro 9.7 is Apple’s newest device but shortly after the release of iOS 9.3.2 scores of users took to online forums and social media to complain that the update had bricked their devices.

I contacted Apple at the time and received the following response:

“We’re looking into a small number of reports that some iPad units are receiving an error when updating the software. Those unable to restore their device through iTunes should contact Apple support.”


Apple understandably played down the issue, but it has ultimately decided strong measures had to be taken. Apple last pulled an iOS update back in 2014 when iOS 8.0.1 caused iPhones to start dropping calls.

Wider Problems?

Interestingly I have received reports from several Forbes readers of other issues with iOS 9.3.2.

These include claims the update has also bricked iPhones and caused rapid battery drain, but for now iOS 9.3.2 remains available to all other devices. Whether that changes and whether Apple now rushes out ‘iOS 9.3.3’ as an emergency fix or reissues a modified version of iOS 9.3.2 remains to be seen.

Of course the obvious question to ask at this point is: Why is the iPad Pro 12.9 not affected? And the simple answer is: because the iPad Pro 12.9 actually has significant hardware differences to the iPad Pro 9.7.

So what should you do now?

As my iOS 9.3.2 upgrade guide warned at the time, I strongly recommend you don’t install it. After all the update is (ironically enough) a dedicated bug fix and actually hid its one interesting new feature. Meanwhile if you have already installed iOS 9.3.2 and found you have no problems, then congratulations – you rolled the dice and got lucky this time.

Needless to say, this all comes at a highly inconvenient moment for Apple. Next month the company will hold its annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) where it is expected to unveil iOS 10.

So, no pressure guys…

Ahead Of Tim Cook's Announcement, The Scoop On Apple's Hyderabad Plans

 Hyderabad, IT central, is going to get a big new endorsement - and business - tomorrow.

Apple's CEO Tim Cook will be in the city tomorrow where, sources confirmed, he will announce a new digital maps centre for the Telangana capital.

There are reports of 2,500 new jobs and the launching, within a year, of a mega campus for Apple. Government sources denied the latter, stating that Apple will work out of an existing software hub that's part of a Special Economic Zone.

Details will be revealed by Mr Cook and KTR, the IT minister of Telangana at a scheduled appearance tomorrow.  KTR's father, Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao or KCR, is likely to be present, said top government sources.

The set-up in Hyderabad will be the mega-brand's first technology centre outside the US.  

According to Telangana's IT Secretary Jayesh Ranjan, the facility's servers will be based in the US with technical and support services provided in Hyderabad.

Mr Cook is in Mumbai today where he began his day by visiting the famous Siddhivinayak Temple. Before he leaves the country, he will meet with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who he encountered in Silicon Valley last year.

India recently rejected Apple's proposal to import and sell refurbished phones in the country - a move seen as key to appealing to price-sensitive consumers.

Mr Cook's India visit, following a trip to China, comes at a crucial time as Apple looks for new growth markets after posting its first ever decline in iPhone sales.

India is keen to know if Apple has plans to set up production facilities, which would be a boost for Mr Modi's "Make in India" manufacturing push.

"If they can make in China to cater to the Chinese market then they can make for Indian markets here," said a government source to news agency Reuters.

Maharashtra is already in talks with Apple product maker Foxconn Technology over it setting up an iPhone plant there.

In India, Apple is looking to set up its first retail outlet, as it only has about a 2 percent market share. But its sales there surged 56 percent in the first three months of this year, driven mainly by cheaper older-generation devices such as the iPhone 5S.

More than 100 million smartphones were sold in India last year and the market is expected to grow by 25 percent this year, making India one of the fastest growing smartphone markets in the world.

Apple Released new 12-inch MacBook Which is greater to be Best

Mac presumably makes the best ultraportable tablet on the planet. In this way, very little should be changed.

I've been utilizing the original 2-pound 12-inch Retina MacBook, discharged in April of a year ago, routinely throughout the previous six months. In this way, when I got my hands on the second-era 2016 adaptation, I was quick to see what had changed.


It's quicker — on paper: Apple redesigned the internals with new Intel "Skylake" sixth Generation Core m3 and m5 processors. Apple claims representation execution is "up to 25 for every penny speedier" and the glimmer stockpiling is snappier as well. (For those monitoring Intel's most recent innovation, Skylake is another chip plan based on the chip-producer's 14-nanometer fabricating process.)

Taking into account my own testing of the minimum costly $1,999 rendition of the new MacBook, which utilizes the 1.1GHz m3 chip, it's something to the tune of 10-15 for every penny speedier contrasted with the first 12-inch MacBook with the more seasoned fifth Generation 1.1GHz processor. Did I see the pace distinction? Probably not. Yet, that doesn't mean it's moderate. I additionally utilize a Core i5-based 13-inch MacBook Pro Retina, and in view of the ordinary business related stuff I do, the new 12-inch MacBook can stay aware of the MacBook Pro on numerous assignments.

Battery life: Apple says it pressed out one more hour of battery life. Whatever the case, it can go for whatever length of time that ten hours while doing Web searching. However, that presumes that you turn down the Retina showcase's backdrop illumination to around 75 for each penny or less and do light work. I've found that in the event that I amp up the splendor (which I incline toward), battery life drops off rapidly. Furthermore, do any truly difficult work, for example, Photoshop or video altering, and you'll fall into the battery red zone sooner than you may hope to.

Outline and weight: The physical configuration, thankfully, is the same. This is one delightful portable PC. It's the new MacBook Air in each appreciation however name. The maturing MacBook Air is currently the penultimate activity in moderation, with the 12-inch MacBook a definitive. That moderation means a featherweight plan. I like it since it's as light as an iPad. Gracious, and the picture nature of the Retina show satisfies Apple's elevated requirements

The PC comes in four incredible hues.

The PC comes in four incredible hues.

Console: The console keeps with it as well. Not everybody will take to the console since it has next to no travel — which implies the keys can be hardened. I like the console and don't think the writing knowledge is excessively hard on the fingers, however the absence of travel could be a major issue for some individuals.

Quest for flawlessness — however not there yet

USB-C issues: I've found the minor, single USB-C connector on the MacBook to be not as much as great. As a matter of first importance, it's not the awesome MagSafe connector that my MacBook Pro has. It's only a plain USB-C connector. In this way, hauling the charging link out of the USB-C connector can be a pull of war some of the time. Possibly that is the value you should pay for moderation. I can live with that. In any case, intensify that with another USB-C-related issue and the new connector gets somewhat less simple to live with.

The issue is fixated on Apple's USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter. The 3-port connector permits you to utilize the single USB-C port on the MacBook to interface the charging link, another outer USB gadget, and a HDMI screen at the same time. Sadly, while interfacing by means of HDMI, my screen won't shut down and go to rest when connected to Apple's connector on the 2016 MacBook.

Unexpectedly, the screen works fine and dandy when snared to a non-Apple USB-C Adapter. What's more, incidentally, the screen additionally works consummately when associated with the HDMI port on my MacBook Pro.

Cost: notwithstanding the $1999 adaptation, brandishing a 256GB blaze drive, which I tried, a 512GB form with a somewhat speedier 1.2GHz m5 processor is estimated at $2449.

With everything taken into account, an extraordinary portable PC. You would need to pry it from my chilly, dead hands before I'd surrender it.

Apple watch needs to Amazon Echo Moment in its favour

So said just in regards to everybody I got some information about Amazon Echo. So it went as I read a great many reviews. I at long last purchased one when it went at a bargain as of late. I'd been drifting around the thought, yet I needn't bother with another contraption in my life, and I as of now have a lot of things that listen to me...or attempt to. 

A week into owning the Echo and I've been awed at how it does what it does as such easily. It's not the main voice-initiated thing I've ever claimed, or even the fourth, yet it works so well my family inclines toward it.

The Apple Watch, a year in, craves something nobody ever gets amped up for. Apple hasn't unveiled the real deals numbers, however the Wall Street Journal assessed offers of 12 million in its first year. That would make it the most well known smartwatch on the planet, and the second-most-mainstream wearable after Fitbit's accumulation of items. 

At the end of the day, for some other organization on the planet, the Apple Watch would be viewed as a festival commendable achievement. In any case, for Apple, everything that is not an iPhone-level megasuccess feels like a setback. 


We don't know what number of Echo speakers Amazon has sold, either. Be that as it may, contrasted with the Apple Watch, the Echo appears flooded with an ocean of adoration and applause from its inexorably faithful after. 

I believe that is on the grounds that the Echo does a couple of things as a contraption that the Apple Watch ought desire to...and I don't mean playing book recordings and listening to my voice orders. I mean being basic, simple and more splendid in only a couple key ways. 

Following a couple of weeks with the Amazon Echo, here are the four things I think the Apple Watch could gain from it. 


Do a couple of things astoundingly well 


The Echo can listen superior to anything almost any device I've ever attempted, and it's made to work totally utilizing voice. It likewise guides into a perpetually developing arrangement of administrations, making it amazingly adaptable. In any case, it begins by being the best voice-controlled home sound speaker ever. The Apple Watch tries for a considerable measure of things, but then it's not fabulous at any of them: imparting, wellness following, and well, being a watch. The Echo appears to be quick, while the Apple Watch appears to be moderate. On the off chance that Apple Watch showed improvement over some other gadget I possess, then I'd feel significantly more attracted to it. 

The iPad nailed doing a couple of things fabulously: that was Steve Jobs' pitch for it when it was initially appeared. The Apple Watch hasn't exactly arrived. 

Be something typical, and do it and additionally some other ordinary option 


At the point when the Echo isn't accomplishing something cool and modern like getting to my timetable, it just sits on a rack and functions as a flawlessly ordinary speaker. On the off chance that I had an ordinary Bluetooth speaker some time recently, the Echo can remain in its place and be as great or better. 

The reason I bring this up is on account of the Apple Watch intends to supplant a watch, but it isn't as simple to live with as a typical watch. Its battery and on-and-off screen are bargains. Furthermore, as a wellness tracker, it's good...but not as incredible as the best committed wellness trackers. Also, trackers like the Fitbit Charge HR offer a better than average cut of Apple Watch's usefulness - it can guide into an informal community, and can track rest. The Apple Watch should be a superior watch and a superior wellness tracker.

iPhone 8 Rumoured specs,Features,Release date

Why is the iPhone 6s Plus so tremendous and cumbersome when Samsung's Galaxy S7 edge is superbly minimized and reasonable? Both cell phones have screens that gauge 5.5 creeps corner to corner, so they ought to be sensibly practically identical in size. Be that as it may, oh dear, the Galaxy S7 edge is a delight to use with one hand while the iPhone 6s Plus is unreasonably immense for most clients to serenely oversee.

The reason is somewhat in light of Apple's have to keep that extraordinary enormous home catch arranged underneath the screen for Touch ID unique mark validation. Before long, nonetheless, Apple may have the capacity to discard the home catch without moving its unique finger impression scanner to a less advantageous position on the back of the telephone.

Try not to MISS: How to change to YouTube's enormous Material Design makeover at this moment, before it dispatches

Apple has been working for quite a while to make sense of how it can insert its Touch ID unique mark scanner under the iPhone's showcase so it can give its iPhone lineup a littler general impression without shrinking screen size. Touch ID isn't going anyplace at any point in the near future, obviously, yet Apple has been working diligently attempting to redo it now that it offers bigger iPhones.

All things considered, Apple fans, we have uplifting news and terrible news. The uplifting news is that a cutting edge unique mark scanner link of being situated underneath a cell phone's showcase has authoritatively been divulged. The terrible news, in any case, is that Apple isn't the organization that disclosed it.


LG Innotek on Monday flaunted the first under glass unique finger impression sensor module from a noteworthy producer. Utilizing this innovation, a cell phone or tablet can utilize unique mark verification without the requirement for a different sensor mounted underneath the presentation, or on the back or side of the telephone.

How did LG pull it off?

"LG Innotek cut a shallow wrinkle of 0.01inches (0.3mm) thick on the lower posterior of the spread glass and introduced the unique mark sensor within it with utilizing their incomparable accuracy and blend innovation," the organization said in its declaration. "With this module, the sensor is not presented to the outside of the gadget, so maker can deliver a smooth outlined cell phone. Unique mark acknowledgment territory likewise can be shown by different examples up to plan of complete item."

The discharge proceeded with, "High-quality spread glass shields the sensor and keeps it from coming in direct contact with water or harm from scratches. In the meantime, the new module secured the unique mark acknowledgment precision contrasted with the catch sort. The new module has a false acknowledgment rate (FAR) of 0.002%."

In case you're an Android fan, this is enormous news. LG and other telephone merchants that utilization LG parts could utilize this new unique finger impression scanner tech in telephones sooner rather than later. What's more, in case you're an iPhone client, it's still uplifting news. While Apple surely has no arrangements to dump Touch ID and switch to a LG scanner, LG Innotek's leap forward clearly implies that it's actually conceivable to install the scanner underneath a showcase. It presumably won't happen with the current year's iPhone 7 in spite of late gossipy tidbits, yet an iPhone without a home catch won't not be too far-removed at this point.

Apple iPhone 5S review

Apple is a premium brand which provide premium service at common parlance.Our believe that mobile technology of today is very advance is totally a Myth. 1. OS - its about smoothness and user interference and new feature with latest update . This OS totally upgradeable to the best available OS at that point of time. 

Unlike Andriod which only 6% devices run on latest OS whereas if you want latest Andriod OS buy new phone which is not in case of apple. Even iphone 4(5 year old phone ) run on latest OS . So you can safely assume this also have same life. 2. Self Life - As state 5 years at least. 3. Apps - As stated above believe that mobile technology of today is very advance is incorrect. Each and every application is need to be made on the very phone for which you are developing it for. Otherwise this will leads to drain of battery, Crashes, Usability of OS and even Software erosion.( this is why BBM not work well on andriod ) . 
Each phone is different so developers need to develop it for each device which is not possible. This is why apple produce now only 2 a year and apps on your devices crashes. 4. Otherwise apps - Movies and Music are available to download for price which are not too high. Downloading them free is actually illegal. 5. LTE Ready. India will have LTE by September 2014. 6. Security - After blackberry this most secured OS . 7. Screen - though 4 inch but you shall never feel it small . 8. Limited Storage - In order to tackle piracy apple cannot give expandable memory. Those who give they don't have that kind of library of music and Movies. 9. Camera - Best of the rest . All picture look exactly real especially the Sky. Forget MP it is all about zooming . We take picture at close of 2Metre max so why you need more than 8 MP ?? if want to zoom buy standalone camera. 
Front Camera is heaven for Selfie. 10. Otherwise Hardware- 1 GB and Dual core only ?? if you still think that after reading the review - READ IT AGAIN. OS and apps are optimize as per the Hardware and vice versa thus no issue . Those Quad core and Octa Core phones are no match for iphones as former are simply upgraded to to bridge the Gap of app compatibility issue. 11. Metal body 12. Fringerprint scanner - give it a miss it is still at very initial stage.
