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.

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…

New iPhone 7 Image Confirms Apple's Design

The iPhone 7 is currently Apple AAPL +0.12%'s most flawed iPhone to date. Not just for the radical changes Apple will make, however for what will stay unaltered. Besides, those decisions radiated an impression of being cut in stone…


Attesting both elevating news and horrendous this week is the ever tried and true Nowhereelse.fr. The French site has comprehensively fulfilled arrangements before release for the Galaxy S6, S7, Note 5, iPhone 6S and SE and now it has pulled off this trap again with schematics for the iPhone 7. So we should isolate them: What expeditiously rises about the schematics (for the most part likely CAD drawings) is the iPhone 7 will to make certain hold a fundamentally unclear arrangement to both the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6S.

In any case, then, if you look more painstakingly, there are positives to be had.Firstly, while the schematics appear to exhibit the iPhone 7 will truth be told leave behind a noteworthy open door for the twofold camera said to dispatch in another 'iPhone 7 Pro' model, it will get some optical change. This can be seen by the extended set example space for the camera module, which is recognizably greater than on the iPhone 6S.

Apple is comprehensively reluctant to assemble the megapixels of its iPhone cameras and given foes are moreover returning to 12MP a thump here seems, by all accounts, to be fantastical. Or maybe the extra space would think about a module with greater individual pixels and a speedier crevice. The past would enable Apple to compensate for lost time lost ground on Samsung with better low light execution, while the last would get pictures more quickly along these lines reducing dark.

Besides, the schematics don't exhibit any gathering mechanical assembly lines on the back of the iPhone 7. This could fundamentally be an oversight on a render basically planned to go on estimations, yet Apple is known not taking a shot at ousting the ugly gatherings and this keeps trust alive.

iPhone sales surge 56% in India as Apple eats into Samsung's high-end share

In spite of set up players like Samsung and Intex commanding the biggest shares of the Indian market at present, Apple keeps on developing, with deals up 56 percent year over year, as indicated by the most recent information from Canalys. As second quickest developing seller in the main ten cell phone suppliers in the nation, Apple has now begun to test Samsung's strength in the premium business sector.


As far as aggregate piece of the overall industry for gadgets valued over $300 U.S., Apple has developed from 11 percent in the main quarter of 2015 to 29 percent toward the begin of 2016. That prompted huge misfortunes for opponent Samsung, which saw its offer tumble from 66 percent to 41 percent over the same range.

"Apple is beating the general business sector in India, and still has incredible development potential," said Canalys Mobility expert Wilmer Ang.

Apple saw its first-ever year-over-year decrease in iPhone deals last quarter, hurt specifically by China, where absolute deals were off 26 percent. Be that as it may, Apple's Cook trusts the alleged "fate and unhappiness" among financial specialists was a tremendous overcompensation.

Rather, Cook has turned his sights toward developing interest in India. This week, in an appearance on Jim Cramer's "Distraught Money," Apple's CEO noticed that 50 percent of the populace is matured 25 or more youthful, and those clients have demonstrated enthusiasm for purchasing the best items accessible.

What's more, in Apple's most recent quarterly profit telephone call, Cook brought up how deals in India were up essentially and that Apple would put "expanding accentuation" in these business sectors where there is huge development.

"With just 42 percent cell phone infiltration of the worldwide handset advertise today, iPhone is as yet pulling in a huge number of first-time cell phone purchasers every quarter, particularly from developing markets. For instance, in India our iPhone deals were up 56 percent from a year back," Cook said.

The rollout of quicker LTE systems in 2016 are likewise anticipated that would offer more noteworthy development open doors for the iPhone.

Reasonableness of a premium brand is still a driving component of offers in a cost-delicate cell phone market. Apple's aggregate business sector entrance is still under 2 percent in India. In any case, on account of various value cuts, Apple's iPhone 5s still turned into the most prominent Apple gadget in India, even with a littler screen and obsolete equipment.

Apple's endeavor to facilitate develop this business sector has confronted a few difficulties with government bans on importing utilized iPhones available to be purchased. The organization's solicitations have been turned down twice, showing both a hesitance with respect to the Indian government to import outside cell phones in lieu of neighborhood assembling, and resistance from business sector heavyweights like Intex, Micromax and Samsung.

Canalys, a worldwide knowledge and information examination organization for the IT business, expects that merchants will start banding together with budgetary foundations to make cell phones more moderate and energize development in the Indian business sector.

Notwithstanding these difficulties, Cook communicated trust in Apple's capacity to develop its business sector in India, the third biggest cell phone market on the planet. While the cell phones being used so far have been principally low end because of financial aspects and system abilities up till now, Cook said he sees India like "China was perhaps seven to ten years prior" and that "there's a truly extraordinary open door there."

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.

Read More: Apple iPhone 7 Specs,Features

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.
