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.

At Morgan Stanley are clear: Apple could launch something "big" in 2014

Add to Flipboard Magazine.

The latest report that Morgan Stanley, a financial institution specializing in investments and stock market analysis, Apple has spent not wasted. An important part of content dissects the evolution experienced by the actions of the apple company for the past two years, from April 2012 to the same month in 2014, and his conclusion is clear: this is a good time to invest Apple.

In the months of September and October 2012 there was a significant rise in the value of company shares, coinciding with the launch of the iPhone 5, but since then its behavior in the stock market has been hesitant (the graph that you see slightly below reflects clearly). In any case, what is really interesting is the reason why Katy Huberty, Morgan Stanley analyst who wrote the report advises investing in Apple: the company that runs Tim Cook may be preparing to launch a new range of less products.

If we look back, we can remember that the last times that Apple has landed in new markets (new to the company on the block, of course, but not for other companies), has come out that well. It happened after the release of the first iPod, and returned to be repeated when the first iPhone and iPad came to market. These products were well received by users, and, of course, high sales caused the value of company stock go up quickly.

It seems to be preparing something "Big" since 2010 

All who follow with interest the development of the technology market we suspect that Apple may be working on several new product ranges. Rumors and leaks that have been accumulating over the past three years have predicted the company's entry in the market for Smart TVs and "wearable" devices, among other speculation.

The truth is that none of this seems unreasonable because markets are in principle related to the Cupertino company. However, the most interesting fact brings to the table a report by Morgan Stanley uses heavy investment in the areas of research and development has Apple done during the two years that preceded the launch of a new range of products. It happened in 2000 and 2001, before the release of the iPod, and repeated again in the periods 2005-2006 and 2008-2009, which preceded the launch of the iPhone and iPad respectively.

According to Katy Huberty, spending on R & D that Apple has faced since 2010 has increased by over 30% every year, very similar to the three periods that preceded the launch of the iPod, iPhone and iPad behavior. Given these data, the only possible conclusion is that indeed the apple company appears to be preparing something "big". But Morgan Stanley analyst goes further by allowing us a glimpse of this new product could be launched this year, which, again, cause a rise in the value of company shares. This and no other is the reason I suggest investing in Apple.

Two clear goals in sight 

Huberty expects the company led by Tim Cook enters fully into the markets of mobile payment solutions and "wearable" devices. This statement is in line with many of the rumors we've all heard over the last two years, and no doubt, but so far Apple has not confirmed anything officially, is credible. Clearly, these two markets have not yet "taken off", although we all know that some companies are already preparing very powerful solutions that possibly give them significant support.

In the past we have seen repeatedly how the introduction of Apple in a market that has existed previously generated a turning point deep enough to completely transform it, rewriting its rules. And this could happen again. Indeed, as discussed Morgan Stanley report, there is sufficient evidence to be reasonably confident that Apple will make a major announcement this year. And, of course, from Appleismo give you news about it.

Breaking News: filtration of the supposed iPad Air 2

Add to Flipboard Magazine.
Breaking News: We echo-filtered "one more thing", the dutch weblog. An article view MacRumors.

Following the leak of an Alleged iPhone 6 front panel Earlier this week, the iPad is now getting its turn with a pair of photos showing what is said to be a front panel for the next-generation iPad Air, shared by Dutch site One More Thing. Notably, the part appears to include an integrated display in contrast to the separate display panel and parts used on the current model. A move to an integrated front panel / display would reduce overall thickness, Potentially Allowing Apple to further slim down the iPad Air or make room for other components: such as a slightly larger battery.

MacRumors spoke with co-founder iFixit Kyle Wiens, who Noted That Could indeed be the legitimate assembly and use a manufacturing process similar to That seen on the Retina MacBook Pro The move to an integrated panel / display would Increase repair costs, but ease of repair has not Particularly Been a major focus for Apple and the company uses an integrated display Already on the iPhone.

The next-generation iPad is expected to launch Air later This Year, With remarkable analyst Ming-Chi Kuo predicting That upgraded Air and iPad Retina iPad mini models will debut in the third quarter of this year and adopt the Touch ID system Introduced on the iPhone 5s last year.

Collecting rumors: this is what we expect from Apple in the coming months

What Apple is preparing for the upcoming months? The truth is that there are many rumors about it. Today we review everything that the Cupertino company could bring at WWDC 2014, or throughout the year.

According to recent rumors and reports, Apple is preparing to launch many new features in the coming months. While you should treat analyzes Apple product carefully, the report Ming-Chi Kuo for KGI Securities unusual given the matter encompassingvision. Kuo is a known analisista and has rarely been wrong in their predictions.

The analyst usually do quite realistic, nuanced and contrasting statements. Therefore, making a compilation of what we have been hearing during these months, and comparing it to what the Ming-Chi Kuo himself has reported for his report to KGI Securities, we can summarize all the new Apple products that could reach in the coming months.

iWatch
According to the rumors, of which we saw recently new and interesting data, assuming iWatch could finally see the light at the second or third quarter of the fiscal year. That means it could be featured this WWDC. This is consistent with the expectations of Ming-Chi Kuo about new Apple products, and believes the device will feature an interesting integration with iPhone and iPad, as well as having an impeccable and elegant appearance.

The iWatch, after much debate, expected in two main sizes, which could indicate a model man and a woman, with a screen between 1.3 and 1.5 inches AMOLED. In addition, these new Apple products would have a sapphire crystal cover and probably even more difficult, many biometric sensors, and even the possibility of charging wirelessly. Ming-Chi Kuo believes the iWatch, if so, could cost more than $1000.

iPhone 6

The expected iPhone6 ​​has been one of the potential new products Apple has since more rumors for months now. This model could be larger than the above and there are even rumors of two possible versions of 4.7 and another 5.5 inches. Ming-Chi Kuo believes that this will happen and both models also will wear a A8 chip, 1GB of RAM, screen LTPS panels, image stabilization system and Touch ID.

Rumors also point to a significant reduction in the bezel along with a reduction in the thickness of the phone, reaching 6.5 mm. Kuo expects a massive release model assumes 4.7-inch iPhone 6 in September this year, seeing the light version later than 5.5. Another suggestion on these potential new products Apple is that the iPhone 5.5 will only be available on a 64GB model with sapphire crystal screen.

New iPads

The second generation would still recent iPad Air. This new model could incorporate Touch ID and a new A8 processor of course we've also heard though in different directions. Ming-Chi Kuo reported that this would be one of the new Apple products to expect and also would have a 8mpx camera, which is quite likely as I discussed a while ago. According to Kuo, the iPad Air 2 could arrive before October.

Regarding the iPad Pro, this rumor is difficult to be realized and does not seem to have much background. However, Ming-Chi Kuo is convinced that Apple is preparing to launch this model for future cases. One of the most striking details is that apart from its size little else is known about this and not expect Kuo possible 2014 release but later.

iMac

Based on analysis of Ming-Chi Kuo, among the new products Apple is expected to lower priced iMac that would have reduced benefits but help to improve the output of the computer by up to 23%. In fact, Kuo is so convinced of this fact that you think will be the first announcement from the company this year. Some other voices believe that a new iMac reduced price is more related to the world of education.

Apple TV or iTv

So many rumors suggest that Apple TV is suffering huge improvements and even a complete remodeling of its interface. The possibility that a completely new device with many features that can compete with other products in the same sector appears. Kuo 2014 only expect a renewal and not a new Apple TV. We expect a new integration with a cable system, a novel system that relates to the world of video games or the inclusion of new motion detecting means to interact with it.

However, Ming-Chi Kuo believes will not be in 2014 when we see these developments. According to his analysis this product still has much to develop to be ready for sale. On the other hand yes we could see a new version of Apple TV, with improvements such as a new and updated features A8 chip.

Mac mini
To date, almost all models of Apple computers have been relaunched or overhauled in one way or another. However, the Mac mini is the only one left, and now we're wondering if it really soon will undergo remodeling or a simple upgrade.

This computer has not been updated since October 2012, so we believe that a possible set-up is near. In January, we tubimos information from a Belgian shop ensures that the end of February would have units of the new Mac mini. February and March have passed and still no news.

Typically, these small leaks usually indicate that in reality this new model is expected and already preparing to put it on sale. There are not often false these indications, so we will be attentive to the movements of other retailers.

Could it be submitted new generation of Mac mini in June? I personally think it will be in September.
