From fashion to fitness: Apple hires a pair of key Nike+ FuelBand engineers
Add to Flipboard Magazine.
This is an update in which we rounded up all recent Apple hires pertinent to the development of the upcoming "iWatch". In this post we will talk about several new hires and experts, including a pair of key Nike+ FuelBand hardware engineers, and the new hires are labeled with italics.
Apple also has been developing a sensor-laden, fitness and medical, focused wearable computer as indicated by several notable recent hires and information we have received from sources. The devices will have a target on both fashion and exercise as Apple has been testing the device with key professional athletes. We are expecting the product to be announced in October of this year and ship by the holiday season. As the launch of the “iWatch” approaches, we have compiled an up-to-date list of all known and pertinent recent Apple hires to provide a clearer picture of what Apple’s future wearable technologies could offer to consumers. We will be looking forward.

AppleCare plan new features
Add to Flipboard Magazine.
Tara Bunch, Vice president of the AppleCare and technical support division in Cupertino, recently held a meeting with employees to discuss the service. And at that meeting, as reported by 9to5Mac sources, there have been some performance figures from AppleCare and their future plans.
Apparently, the AppleCare + service that protects the iOS devices from accidental damage goes well. Over 30 million people have contracted in the 14 countries where it is active, which has generated $2,000 billion in revenues and motivation to expand the service to more markets. One of the measures that can be taken in the future, for example, extend the deadline to purchase AppleCare + 30 to 60 days after purchase of the iOS device.
Depending on how the economy goes, we might get to see a AppleCare + for Macs
We may also get to see a AppleCare + for Macs, now that bestsellers are Macbooks and are also subject to random breakdowns. Everything depends on the economy as something for the Mac would be significantly more expensive than iOS Terminal.
Another interesting thing is the improvements to our Apple accounts in relation to technical assistance. Taking advantage of the unification of Apple Retail and Apple Store web of Angela Ahrendts, Tara commented on a more unified experience between the Genius Bar, phone support and online.
The meeting ended with Tara Bunch promising a "superbowl" launch this fall, where we see almost all Apple products being updated, and encouraging all employees to help users start with the right foot on the platform when buy all these novelties. We will have a busy September and October ...

Apple goes up to fifth place in the Fortune 500 list
Add to Flipboard Magazine.
The Fortune 500 has always been a benchmark valuation for multinationals, and Apple takes much time in it. In 2009 came with the position 71th, in 2012 went up from 35th to 17th, in 2013 jumped to 6th position and now goes to 5th place in the list. But do not confuse this with another recent Fortune 500 list that the medium has made based on feedback from readers.
Fortune highlighted the growing sales of Apple and the pressure of his competition, which has not gone unnoticed despite the health of the company. Nor have put aside and the amount of liquid having the company, $170,900 million; and the acquisition of Beats Audio as the most talked by Cupertino $3,000 million.
Exxon, the company that usually occupies the top spot, has yielded to the retailer Walmart which is now leading the ranking. We will see if Apple releases allow follow at the top of the Fortune 500.

Financial Times: "Apple is preparing its own platform for smart homes"
Add to Flipboard Magazine.
According to the Financial Times, Apple is developing its own platform for smart homes. A system that would use our iPhone, and iOS devices in general, as the control center for our home. Thus being able to turn on lights, control security, appliances and more.
News that sounds powerful, but the options that Apple could be integrated into the operating system itself, rather than what would do. And, today, we have systems through the use of third-party apps that allow us all that through products such as Welmo Belkin, Placed...
But that "Apple style" and the choices that come with iOS 8 which is attractive and exciting. Imagine finally open source Siri for third-party apps with voice commands and control to get home.
The Apple smart home
A platform for the Apple smart home is something important but which responds to actions other manufacturers like Samsung or Google are already taking place. Of course, here, you never know who had thought of before. In order of announcement is clear that Apple is the last to arrive but if we look back we see some movements are now engaging with this alleged new intelligence platform.
First of all would be the new AppleTV settings. As you recall, configured our AppleTV with a simple touch, thanks to our iPhone without entering Apple ID. Then there is the issue of iBeacon, the AS under sleeve iOS 7. With this technology we have seen that you can implement numerous possibilities both in shops, public places or even the home. For example, Placed or MOCA platform.
Continuing, we see now the recent rumor of including NFC in the iPhone. Apple always said not to consider including an immature technology, the fact is that it is very useful and convenient for setting / pair devices with a single touch. So why not use it now. The truth is that the WWDC is a few days and we will focus on iOS and OS X.

Image Capture, perhaps the most underestimated OS X application
Add to Flipboard Magazine.
Many users do not know it, but OS X hides small applications that can meet many more functions than we think. Already demonstrated with TextEdit, which can replace Word or Pages for users who do not require a processor too complicated texts. Today, following the experienced with my students in classes that give training in Valencia, I will defend another application unjustly ignored: Image Capture.
First, avoid confusion: I'm not talking action or capture screen in OS X or the Grab application: I speak of the Image Capture application that hides within the Other folder Launchpad. And never fails: whenever I reveal its capabilities to anyone, it is shocked.
Image Capture serves two major functions, so let's see them one by one.
Import and manage images from external devices
What opens when you connect a camera to the Mac? iPhoto to import the photos to our photo library. What if we do not use iPhoto? In that case we can do transferring raw files with the Finder, or we can use Image Capture.
The application is able to recognize digital cameras and memory cards, showing a list or a mosaic all the images and giving us the option to import or delete the device comfortably. It also works with video, so we will not be reviewing any content.
A key feature of this is that Image Capture also recognizes iOS devices, making it a very useful program when we remove our entire photo roll for cleaning, importing all or part of your computer without complications and releasing space in our iCloud backups.
In this part, Image Capture is what clears me all doubts about these discs or USB flash drives with programs and utilities that bring compact cameras: no more install all that crap of applications will not use rarely and only take up space our Launchpad: OS X has everything you need for basic operations importing photos.
Scan images and documents
The other role played perfectly Image Capture is the scanning of documents. Here one can also say the same thing with importing pictures: we can completely dispense with all the host of utilities that usually come included with multifunction printers which always say "should" be installed to take advantage of all the capabilities of the scanner and / or printer.
Nothing could be further from the truth: 99% of users just want to scan documents without complications, and Image Capture is able to do that without installing any add-on. Start the program and our scanner appear on the right sidebar of devices.
We have options to choose the resolution of the images, their size, rotation angle, we apply corrections to images and even if we are scanning a document can import it directly into PDF format without additional steps. I have not seen any manufacturers software or multifunction scanners do the same so simply.

Apple leads smartphone sales in Japan
Add to Flipboard Magazine.
Being a leader in a market so advanced and technology as Japan is not easy. However, Apple has managed to position itself as the best-selling phone brand in Japan, beating competitors like Sony or Samsung. According to recent reports in the country right now, one of every three smartphones sold are iPhone, a fact said soon but it is a breakthrough for the brand.
The "guilty" of this tremendous growth is the agreement with DoCoMo. Japan is a country where phones are purchased through contracts with carriers and DoCoMo, the largest company, refused to offer the iPhone on its plans until last October when he relented and began offering the iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C in exchange for a royalty of 25%.
The numbers are quite impressive: in its debut month of the iPhone took 61% of sales terminals DoCoMo, Apple getting this increase and subsequent sales presence in the market by 11.1%, from having some more than 25% to 36% of current market share. And talk about Apple profits could have won in Japan since the agreement with DoCoMo about $ 4 billion.

Apple publishes its rules for when the law requests access to the user data
Add to Flipboard Magazine.
Our privacy has been sullied during the beginning of this year, the NSA controversy starred with requests to read personal data through user accounts of some companies. Apple had already asked then a change in these methods, refusing to collaborate with the authorities and later clarified its position. Now the company has gone a step further, publishing rules for determining when the U.S. request user data.
In these rules we can read how Apple will notify all who have accounts with data that have been applied, or how you can "punch" the post provided they have received a court order to do so. Instead, communications via iMessage or FaceTime can not be intercepted as they are encrypted from device to device. Calendars and any third-party application data may not be accessible through Apple, although each application will have its own policy regarding government requests.
Location data from any iOS device with GPS enabled are not saved on Apple's servers
There are other interesting details to read the text: location data iOS terminals are not saved on Apple's servers, so that can not be delivered to the authorities as much as asked. The same goes for the unlock codes the same devices.
Apple also said in the document that is prepared to work with the police at the time of recovering stolen devices, but also depends on the police use the data provided by iCloud. A rather clarifying rules, maybe put in audience by the hand of the new privacy expert hired the company last month.

Apple stops offering the iPhone 4 in India
Add to Flipboard Magazine.
Earlier this year Apple decided to re-launch the iPhone 4 in India in an attempt to maintain market share in the phone market. They did it through the iPhone 4 (8GB) and today we know that have decided to stop offering the phone for no apparent logical reason.
The relaunch of the iPhone 4 in the Asian country was partly due to the agreement with the national operators to offer their customers an iOS device at a low price. This agreement expired a few days ago and although it could be the reason for the withdrawal, it is strange that as interesting as the Indian market Cupertino were not trying to continue to provide a device for maintaining the loyalty of brand users.
What can be happening then? Well clearly the iPhone 6. Manufacturing testing of the new device are everywhere, which means that Apple's factories are engaged in the production of the iPhone 6, in addition to other earlier versions are still sold in the rest of world. The lack of stock of iPhone 4 and the inability to continue manufacturing it due to the new version would be a perfectly logical and normal explanation, which would have led to this recall.
What might be Apple's strategy in India now? Further progress in the device chain and put the iPhone 4S as input device combined with agreements with Indian operators. While watching the above strategies, for this to happen the launch of the iPhone 6 will have to have been previously made to not cause further devaluation in previous versions.

The next iPad could have Touch ID
Add to Flipboard Magazine.
When it introduced the iPhone 5S with Touch ID all thought the other Apple devices include the new identification system. Time passed and although out the iPad Air and iPad Mini (second generation), they never had the system installed. But recent rumors suggest that the new iPad will have built-Touch ID.
Apart from that found in iOS 7.1 source code, the rumor comes this time from the hardware part, specifically the company Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company which apparently would have provided Apple in mid-April the first batch of sensors touch, which would be designed for all future iOS devices, both a possible iPhone 6 as a Air iPad 2 and an iPad Mini 3.
That the next devices Touch ID is a logical move by Apple. And if it had not before is because it is quite likely that iPad and iPad Mini Air had the very advanced at the time of the presentation of the iPhone 5S.

Samsung does it again: plan an event focused on health before the WWDC '14
Add to Flipboard Magazine.
Of a sudden, Samsung wants to talk about health. I think something similar to the disastrous attempt Galaxy Gear (both first and second generation) . It seems hasty to be the first to reach a field full of mines. Samsung is guided by rumors.
It is very curious as Samsung tries to imitate Apple to unimagined levels. This time again, Samsung is back with its own initiative focused on health devices. One issue about which I have spoken extensively. In fact, the level of copy has reached the surrealism.
Not only copied products, now copy filing dates to try to get ahead. As a personal opinion, I think they will return to present a "somewhat" trying empt Apple's plans. A product that even they know that it serves.

Of course, Apple does not have exclusivity on health-related devices nor on when hold their events. But is that so far, Samsung had said little or nothing about to enter the world of accessories dedicated to health. And suddenly want "talk about health" and do so immediately before the conclusion of WWDC 2014 we know that one of the main issues will be precisely oriented gadgets health. Curious.
It seems that Samsung has seen the potential and growth of this new market niche and wants to make their own counter programming. Hope it is not so, despite the harsh differences between Samsung and Apple, the competition is always something that has a positive effect on the user and would be very sad to see how Samsung is quick in excess, failing in providing some interesting new single to present battle with Apple positioning. We'll see what he's up to Samsung.

iPhone sales continue to grow, shortening positions with Samsung
Add to Flipboard Magazine.
Is the iPhone in crisis? Not likely at all. This analysis shows that IDC notes that iPhone sales have grown in the last quarter compared to last year and very highly.
As we have seen in recent months, the market for mobile phones seems to be gradually becoming saturated. However, in light of the analysis of IDC with respect to sales of the iPhone and other companies during the first quarter worldwide, it seems that Apple is not stopping its growth in sales.
In fact, according to data provided, Apple is narrowing the difference in iPhone sales over herself while fast approaching the number of Samsung, who is still dominant. IDC analyzes show that although Samsung has sold more phones in the first quarter, Apple has beaten back its iPhone sales record, reaching 43.7 million units (compared to 60 million Samsung). Apple, with its relatively limited supply, compared to the broad market, has managed to successfully defend themselves from rival companies.
While Samsung has reduced growth by 1.7%, Apple has increased by 16.8%
This is shown by the growth in iPhone sales, which in turn is increasing as even though the number of Samsung phones have increased, their growth has declined a slight 1.7%. Growth in iPhone sales, as we said, has increased 16.8% over the first quarter of 2013, a modest but very positive number and exceeds the expectations of analysts and the company itself. This means that Apple continues to grow in terms of sales of the iPhone worldwide.
However, also shown in the analysis of IDC, we must say that companies like Huawei or Lenovo, with its recent acquisition of Motorola, have grown to 63.3% in sales of devices, which is highly commendable despite not going from 13 million phones sold. iPhone sales have not been affected in the same way as we talk about premium devices, so that the target user is not the same. Either way, it is clear that Apple is growing.

Aspects of the system to treat are the possible problems with audio and video drivers, the Mail and Safari applications included by default in the system and also a new feature that allows you to synchronize calendar and contacts with local devices via iTunes. Another feature introduced in the latest versions of the beta is the ability to bend pixels to fit 4K monitors from other manufacturers.

All rumors iOS 8 converted into a very interesting concept video
Add to Flipboard Magazine.
Those who follow Apple, we live day to day with all the rumors that appear frequently on new devices, new features in the software or just moves Apple makes one or another trend. Here in weekly Appleismo collect most of these rumors Rumorsfera in our section, but today we want to show an extremely interesting video that shows how it could be really iOS 8.
Why this video is different from others? Because instead of teaching what the creator of the video would like had iOS 8, actually teaches (as a concept, of course) are the rumors we've been getting so far on all iOS 8 features alleged will. In the video we see Siri to identify songs, Healthbook supported for future iWatch, CarPlay and not being able to use it in the car and the redesigned notification center.
What do you think these concepts? Although aesthetics is started with iOS 7 and many hate (but I love), if the redesign notification center is similar to that seen here and Healthbook runs without iWatch, I personally will be happy with the new characteristics. Let's just hope that is compatible with the iPhone "not so old" (iPhone 4 and above) and fix existing bugs iOS 7.
Those who follow Apple, we live day to day with all the rumors that appear frequently on new devices, new features in the software or just moves Apple makes one or another trend. Here in weekly Appleismo collect most of these rumors Rumorsfera in our section, but today we want to show an extremely interesting video that shows how it could be really iOS 8.

Apple regains market share in Japan, Australia and Spain thanks to sales of the iPhone 5S
Add to Flipboard Magazine.
Market share: that fact that all manufacturers look. No matter how many devices you sell if the amount you sell to your competitor. In his keynote Apple always provides data to and share in the first quarter of 2014 has one more fact to teach as it has increased its market share in mobile devices.
This increase in sales was due to areas such as Japan, Australia and Europe where market share went up to 57.6%, 33.1% and 19.2% respectively, and these data rose by 8.6% in Japan, 2% in Australia and 0.1% in Europe, Spain is the European country with the largest increase (4.5%). The culprit for this increase has been mainly the iPhone 5S, which has had a great return as far as sales are concerned.
But not all would be good news for Apple in the first quarter of 2014 and in the United States during the months of January and March share dropped to 35.9% (7.9% less than the same time last year past), showing that Americans buy more at the end of the year than at the beginning.
Is this good news for Apple? Yes and no. On the one hand the increase in market share is always positive, but if we see the overall study data Kantar Wordpanel we realize that Android is still the most used operating system in all countries except Japan, a fact that Apple should attack later or later if you do not want to stay in line.

iDrive: a life of 100 GB on my iPhone for less than $ 1 / year
Add to Flipboard Magazine.
iDrive allows us to save backups of your contacts, photos, videos and calendars, mimicking Apple's cloud to restore a phone from these prints. The key: we have 100 GB in the cloud for less than a euro annually.
No need to seek the plan of a euro price on their website: it is only available as in-app purchase inside the app for iOS. There is also a free plan of 5GB only, but for the price of the 100 GB certainly more than one would pose for backup or even cleaning your data. Remember: a reel of pictures that fills our storage devices always ends up giving more problems than we imagine.
