Listed shares of Apple highs again

Thing two months ago, Apple confirmed his recovery from a relatively bland time to market levels with its shares reaching $ 119.65 and its market valuation exceeding 700,000 million. And now that shareholders know how well has the iPhone 6, it appears that these actions have again encouraged bounds close to $ 120.

The forecasts are optimistic, especially if markets are closed today and Apple shares will remain above $ 119. That could allow the dream of some wolves of Wall Street are met and the Cupertino company comes to have its shares above $ 130.

The long-term goal of Apple Watch

The techies have a great ability to say why things will not work but very bad to say why do go to work. This is a bug that got rid none. They have written dozens of articles and debated to unknown about why Apple Watch will fail limits, but rarely have we stopped to think why it might succeed.

There are a lot of doubts in the air that Apple must clear before marketing. Despite this, there are surveys that 10% and 18% of iPhone users would be interested in Apple Watch. Is something rash ask the audience for a product that is not available, but it serves to measure the level of trust and generated interest in the company's early adopters.

What people think about the "supposed" new iPhone6

Add to Flipboard Magazine.

For weeks it is circulating the network a mockup of an supposed iPhone 6. This mockup would be designed according to the specs leaked earlier this month, which would show an iPhone with a 4.7 inch screen, a much thinner thickness and a metallic finish that brought us the iPhone 5S. 

Each release of the iPhone, has always introduced design changes, with consequent acceptance or rejection by the users. How users react to this course redesigned iPhone in June? YouTube user urAvgConsumer has taken the mockup to different users to see him and give their opinions. And the truth is that they are quite interesting.



It is striking that all interviewees release a "Wow! just at the time when they teach the mockup. When they have it in their hands realize that it is not real, but still give their opinions about it. Some users say that which no longer looks like an iPhone and it reminds them too much like a Galaxy; also added that do not need a big screen and that for them the size of the phone it is important. 

There is also another type of user who wants a bigger screen better, require renewed design by Apple and need to renew their phone just because it has come out a better choice.

Test Healthbook concept

Healthbook is one of the developments that are expected to arrive with iOS version 8. The application would be the data center that would unify all the information related to health. From the activity, sleep, food and even other data such as heart rate, Cholesterol. Sure, as long as the rumors and information "leaked" is true.

As we have seen physical mockups of supposed iPhone 6, a user has created a prototype of how it would Healtbook. An application with an interface based on cards like Passbook and that there is little more to tell until you really know what will be monitored.

iPhone 6 ... 1704x960 pixels?

Add to Flipboard Magazine.

All indications are that the next iPhone 6 will see significant changes in the display. It is speculated by the arrival of two models of 4.7 and 5.5 inches. 

According to 9to5mac, who refer to sources that are testing the new phone, Apple will use a resolution of 1704x960 pixels in their next phone, strange for conventional world but logic within the Apple ecosystem. Keep the same format including iPhone 5 and 5S, which would imply that the adaptation of applications to the new resolution. 

This resolution would be shared with the two phone sizes, 4.7 and 5.5 inches, and would be above 300 dpi that Apple requires to consider a Retina Display screen. They would be 416 and 356 dpi respectively, even above 326 ppi that Apple has been using for the iPhone 4. 

It seems that Apple will raise the screen size of the next iPhone 6, and logic tells us that with this increase will also increase the resolution. These 1704x960 pixels fall within the logic, but of course we have to consider having a lot of speculation. Surely in the next WWDC 2014 (2-6 June) it unveil a new feature of iOS 8, and perhaps also with him some new feature of the iPhone 6 is leaking, hopefully confirming many of the things that have been rumored in the recent months. Maybe some new feature of the iPhone 6 is also leaking in the coming days. 

The market is two: Apple and Samsung control 106% of mobile profits

Add to Flipboard Magazine.

The data we have identified these weeks ago confirmed a trend that was more or less clear: the market is two, with Apple and Samsung which generate more profit, with 106% of the market thanks to losses from other companies as BlackBerry or HTC.

Rarely can say that a market segment has two actors, but data from Canaccord Genuity, a company of Canadian financial services has become a reality: Apple and Samsung, the two companies leading smartphones, spread over the entire the benefits of one of the most profitable markets in the sector. 

As strange as it sounds the number of the holder of this post, the fact is that two of the most important smartphone market, Apple and Samsung rivals control on 106% of all profits generated by this segment of the market, increasing year to year and quarter to quarter to date, as shown by the evolution of the benefits of the leading companies in the sector since 2010, according to Canaccord:

And how is it possible? Very simple. Because large companies, which previously controlled the market and the benefits it generated, leading some constant consecutive quarters of profit declines, which directly affects the overall increase proportionate share takes the rest, and in this case, Apple and Samsung are the big winners with 106% of the combined total of both companies. Moreover, in the case of Apple's most notorious, as the company is able to generate even more profit by selling less terminals operating margins of 37% compared to the Samsung range that stays at 22%.

Today the market is two, but given the strength and other companies are taking interest in many others, that so far only operated in Asia, for a place in Europe and the United States, this trend may change in the medium term. However, this year a lot is expected of Apple and its iPhone 6, but in regard to the Cupertino, still have much to gain.

Hello? And meanwhile the iPhone rumor 6c, where it is?

Add to Flipboard Magazine.

We have rumors, rumors and more rumors iPhone 6, which will be the next big jump in Apple design. We all know that every two generations, Apple makes a great device redesign and now when it's up again. 

How it will evolve to the iPhone 6c? We have so many pictures of the iPhone 6, which I think in September we will have no surprise about the iPhone but substitute "colors" do not know anything yet.

Will we see a major revolution in the iPhone 5c? 

Obviously, externally it appears that is not going to happen, it most probably would have seen a leak and respect. As now run rumors and leaks, and would have seen any alleged photograph or render any course.

Well, if a rumor has been ... but the truth is that I personally do not give much credibility. Slimmer design, slightly larger screen ... better camera and without touchID.

My theory is that a new color appear. iPhone 5C, 5 colors, iPhone 6C, 6 colors. Besides the iPhone 6C, come along with the release of the iPhone 6S. Would talk in a high-end changes every year and a range focused on new and young audience that would change every 2 years.

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.

Steve Jobs designed part of the next two iPhone

Add to Flipboard Magazine.

After the death of Steve Jobs was much talk about the future of Apple since it was the strongest pillar of the company. However, at the time also spoke of the legacy that Steve had left after his death and beyond being a visionary, Jobs did his best to continue his beloved company on track. That is why months before the launch of iPhone 5S is rumored that the genius of Cupertino was closely following its development as well as two future devices. Now he has returned to mention that Steve Jobs designed part of the next two iPhone.

As reported in the blog MacTrast, the district attorney of San Francisco, George Gascón, has been commissioned to reveal that Jobs participated in the design of the next two iPhone while it apparently was in contact with the company based in California and he received confirmation from Michael Foulkes, the manager of the bond business - government. 

According to this information, the contact began after the increase in the rate of robberies in mobile devices, since in San Francisco one of the devices has been stolen iPhone. For the same reason George Gascón participated with Apple to develop a system that could disable devices remotely and reduce the number of thefts.

The truth is that this statement is not entirely surprising. Steve Jobs was known for his obsessive attention to detail, in fact, it is well known that often used to design products well in advance. There is even a belief that the company has other products previously designed by Steve Jobs and most likely helped design part of the next two iPhone and many other things.

The iPhone 6 could be as thin as the iPod Touch

Add to Flipboard Magazine.
The new Apple iPhone could be very, very thin. Almost as much as the iPod Touch. So say the latest rumors we have seen about the leak of alleged cases for the new Apple smartphone.



With the latest rumors, users want to know more about the possible size of the iPhone 6. This important aspect in a terminal is the focus of much of the community and the latest rumors suggest that the phone could be much more thin, almost as much as an iPod Touch, as we have seen recently.

According to the alleged leak of the new iPhone 6 cases, the thickness of the iPod Touch fits perfectly with the new size of the iPhone 6. Here we show in a video released by Unbox Therapy, who have managed such cases. The main problem is that not really know whether the alleged cases are real.

However, what if we have clear is that almost all the rumors about the size of the iPhone 6, from various sources, point towards the same details as time goes by. In theory, the size of the iPhone 6 would have changed to have a wider thinner and lighter screen of 4.7 inch. Other rumors, with some more time, indicate that the screen would be protected by sapphire crystal and likely have a substantial reduction of the splices.

If all this is true you could call this new phone like the iPhone Air, as it would be the subtlest phone, but also wider. While we wait, we remind this interesting comparison of the most popular phones on the concept of iPhone 6 which comes closest to what we think.

Apple gains ownership of a patent on a new autofocus system for cameras

Add to Flipboard Magazine.

This is one of those wars that are win with patent regulators. This is one of those wars that are won with regulators patents. Apple has once again impose its views on a system that will greatly benefit the quality of future cameras iPhones and iPads. The title given to this pantente makes us understand the intentions and what will be the benefits that bring. 

The patent is titled as "MEMS Autofocus actuator". The acronym MEMS means "micro-electrical mechanical systems". The system has been used so far Apple is the VCM (Voice Coil Motor), which in the same patent at hand is represented as a slow system when focus and energy intensive.

The patent indicates that this new system will consume less power, be able to focus faster and also allows the fabrication of smaller devices. But against that item is not exactly simple to manufacture. The patent dates from 2012, its inventor is Richard J. Topliss and even allow us to focus images after shooting. 

Only in Cupertino know if this is a technology that we will see in the next iPhone 6 or later. But such a technology would be well received.

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.

Renders of alleged iPhone 6 confirm the increase in screen and 6mm thick

Add to Flipboard Magazine.
Leaks continue, and this time are some renders of the iPhone in June alleged that show how the new terminal would be more screen and thinner.

March and April tend to be especially active in Tale months of rumors and leaks about new Apple products, and this year, the event increased screen size of the next iPhone 6 is assuming that most of the rumors focus on this feature.

I recently watched the new front panel and more rounded edges. Now would be new renders for accessory manufacturers to confirm the increased screen and 6 millimeters thick. If so become one of the finest devices market.

Through UkranianiPhone have posted pictures that accompany this post and according to this source correspond to Render design for manufacturers of bags and accessories, and how logically contain all the physical details of the terminal to match the accessories with the arrangement of the physical buttons and the structure of the terminal. In this way according to these data, this assumption iPhone would be high and slightly wider than the current iPhone 5s, which measures 124mm by 59mm by changing to 138mm by 67mm, nearby to one of the terminals Android. 


One idea that I personally am not convinced, I think more than 5 inches is a brick in your pocket.

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.

Apple could be develop a new mobile payment based in Touch ID

Add to Flipboard Magazine.

According to The Wall Street Journal, Apple would develop a new mobile payment service through the iTunes Store. Allowing consumers to use their iPhones to buy physical goods and services, rather than just applications, songs and other digital content.

This system would be tied to the fingerprint scanner ID Touch Apple introduced the iPhone 5S presentation. Tim Cook, Apple's CEO, confirmed that it was designed with mobile payments, an opportunity that Apple wants to take. It is planned to carry out.

Entirely clear, that if true, the mobile payment system would be ready for the launch of iOS 8. Major new features usually come along with significant updates to the operating system and versions of hardware, such as FaceTime with iOS 4, Siri iOS 5, Maps iOS 6, Touch ID iOS 7.

Rumor: Primera foto del supuesto frontal del 'iPhone 6'

Fuente: Sina Weibo

Estamos ante una foto del supusto frontal del iPhone 6, donde se puede apreciar un ligero aumento en pulgadas. Esta noticia apareció en el sitio web de microblogging Sina Weibo de China hoy martes, ofreciendo lo que podría ser el primer vistazo del iPhone de próxima generación de Apple.  

La imagen no es de la mejor calidad, se puede ver a alguien sosteniendo un iPhone 5s Negro y al lado, un frontal de de mayor tamaño del supuesto iPhone 6. La foto fue enviada a Sina Weibo por el usuario jiezhixc -a través de iPhon.fr-.

Incluso si la imagen no es original, la foto sirve para reflejar la diferencia entre un iPhone de 4,7 pulgadas o un supuesto de 5,5 pulgadas.

Personalmente creo -en caso de crecer en dimensiones de pantalla-, que aumentaría el la pantalla útil  y se reducirían los márgenes para aprovechar mejor el espacio. Una pantalla útil más grande pero con unas dimensiones generales similares. He podido tener un smartphone como el Samsung S5 o el Nexus 5 y me parecen teléfonos enormes e incómodos de guardar en el bolsillo.

Si yo fuera Apple, creo más conveniente influir en dimensiones más optimizadas para la web en safari para iPhone -convertir las páginas web de internet a unas proporciones similares a las de una app. Tamaño de tipografía, textos, menús..."

¿Eres de los que prefiere un iPhone de mayor tamaño en dimensiones externas?
