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 switcher phenomenon continues with Android ... even outside the United States

It's been two days after record results from Apple, but still interesting data out as analysts do their work. The Consumer Intelligence Research Partners (CIRP or for short) has combined figures and found that the rate of people who decide to move from Android to iOS has accelerated, as reflected in Fortune.

But beware, there's something else to consider: occurs outside the United States. There, just as in many other western world, having a platform already secured to it and is much harder to change. However, there are many users in countries like China where the iPhone people spend after testing Android phones. The phenomenon is repeated switcher, but from another rival.

Chester Chipperfield, Vice President at Burberry, Apple enters to help launch your Watch

If the predictions of a launch in late March are certain, missing two months before the Apple Watch is in the streets. And even with this short term, Cupertino still hiring executives. The latter has been Chester Chipperfield, who until now had been vice president of digital and interactive design in Burberry.

Exactly, I mean the same Burberry wealth has come from the new vice president of the Retail division: Angela Ahrendts. Apparently Chestar have much experience selling digital products in stores, and can contribute much in the process of launching the Apple Watch the Apple Store worldwide. In his LinkedIn profile, Chestar has already made official the signing pointing working on special projects division of Apple.

Aperture, the photo editor of Apple will cease to be developed. Apple will focus on Implementation of new "Photos" App That Come With OS X Yosemite. A decision That leaves us without the expected X version, oddly enough, many expected. If it is good or bad decision will look over time. The truth Is that competition, mainly Lightroom has been so strong that never got to be relevant. Let's review as it has-been since its launch Aperture so far.

Add to Flipboard Magazine.

Recently it has been known via 9to5Mac sources that several professional athletes have been working in Cupertino for testing with the iWatch. This is demonstrated by photographs like the one above, where the NBA player Kobe Bryant rests one of the campus bars.

Hockey player Dustin Brown of the Los Angeles Kings team also have done the same, along with other elite athletes from the NHL and MLB American. They have all signed confidentiality agreements not to disclose absolutely nothing to have been seeing in recent weeks.

Kobe Bryant has even been seen talking with Jonathan Ive, the head of product design at Apple. All these athletes must have tested the iWatch under demanding conditions of all the sports they play, something that will pay benefits when the attachment goes on sale. Well, not all are Kobe Bryant, but would be better they test it, right? 

Reuters: The iWatch will be released in October

Add to Flipboard Magazine.

A device that is creating great excitement, the iWatch. Apple Smart Clock, or as I like to call it, the natural evolution of the iPod, seems to have a release date. According to Reuters, October would be the launch date and Apple expects to sell 50 million units. 

Quanta Computer Inc company would be responsible for 70% of the production of the device, also speaks of a design and arched screen with a diagonal of 2.5 inches signed by LG. Would have wireless charging system and heart rate sensor to complete the ecosystem further plans to create Healtkit.

We have to wait, but during the WWDC and we could see some clues. Apple's goal is to not be predictable in a new device, creating a new category.

Add to Flipboard Magazine.

With the passage of time since the WWDC we continue to discover those little details that were not mentioned in the various presentations. What is more surprising us is Yosemite, OSX version for Macs is revealing news that makes more and more interesting. The latest discovery, is the possibility of using Javascript in Automator. 

Until now to make small programs that help us in our task in OS X, we had to use Applescript in combination with Automator. From now on, we can use language as known to many as Javascript to make any script you want. There will be no need to use Applescript in no time. 

For those interested in scripting and really know how it will work this new feature in OS X only have to visit the WWDC videos and check out the video dedicated to Javascript and Automator.

Apple shares today are split

Add to Flipboard Magazine.

If you have some shares of Apple and have not been very aware of the financial news company, perhaps you have seen the value of these shares has now cost more than $600 to less than $100 today. Do not panic, you have not lost any fortune in investments: the 7-1 stock split that Apple announced in his last press conference of financial results was paid today.

What does this mean? 

If you had one Apple share, now pass to seven retaining the same value. That value was $ 645, so past actions have cost $ 92 as unfolded in seven. If we calculate the proportions, now the absolute record of the value of one share of Apple goes from $700 to $100.72. We will have to get used to these new numbers.

After this split, Apple now has seven times more shares than before and its new price makes them accessible to more people. I am not a Wall Street shark, but it certainly is for anyone with savings and follow news about Apple daily it arises.

Apple Maps, uneventful due to internal problems

Add to Flipboard Magazine.

iOS 8 has many interesting developments, perhaps one of the most anticipated was Maps, however, nothing has changed since iOS7. Besides the new APIs and some developments in China, Maps in iOS 8 are the same as always. Why?, if it is precisely the aspect of iOS that has received more criticism from the user community.

Not to be pessimistic with improvements to the maps, but Apple could do it better

Apparently, Cupertino had planned to present improvements, but a series of unfortunate coincidences have finally decided not to present anything. Many developers left the company, the related projects were planned poorly and developers who remained had to be changing too often project. Says one source in TechCrunch.

See if purchase of the Spotsetter App, help change that and we can see all the latest in fall.

The App Store is improved with app packs

Add to Flipboard Magazine.

Apple has unveiled at WWDC 2014 new enhancements in the App Store. Trying to improve the way to find new applications, Apple will improve the App Store this fall with quite interesting new features.

Among these new features we found the Explore section, where the App Store will recommend us applications that come closest to our tastes and needs. Additionally, the search will be improved, showing just below suggestions on what we might be looking for as we introduce a search.

These two new features are added three more. On the one hand application packs, where developers can apply several applications to offer with a more competitive price. We will also preview improvements in applications such as videos of them and the ability to offer beta testing their application, thus receiving feedback from their users as they test their application before it goes on sale. These improvements come in the fall and will be available to all developers. 

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.

Rumors: the myth of iPhone 6

Add to Flipboard Magazine.

One of the effects of large waves is the effect of recoil prior to arrival. Less than a week to get the WWDC2014 Apple rumors are paused and machinery generate stops looking. What we will see on June 2 will be the first official presentation of the company unveiling its plans for new versions of OS X and iOS operating systems, and maybe one more surprise.

However, we are thinking in a year with new generation of iPhone, and exclusive leaks are still slipping through the cracks of the network. Meanwhile, this is what we have:

• No doubt the iPhone 6 will generate more prototypes generated from the curious. We have already seen, combining everything we "know" so far, different interpretations of how it could be. Now it is the turn to case manufacturers who have created an aluminium model to generate products for the new release, according with MacRumors. And watch out, these leaks have historically never been far from the actual product...

• Another rumor most commented this past week are the pictures of the possible LED light panel that the new iPhone 6. Apparently, Apple will incorporate the latest in LED technology to thin even more the new model, according to MacRumors would be considerably thinner than the iPhone 5s, for example.

• This section talked a lot of "how" will be, but we must also assess the affectations of these changes and their impact on iPhone ecosystem. In 9to5Mac published an interesting article on how a larger iPhone will force developers to rethink their applications: iOS is ready for dynamic scaling, however, is the task of the programmers use this space to the fullest, and now seems to have much more that should be better utilized.

• Another article I liked reading this week is publishing in TechNightOwl on quality control at Apple, and how every little problem is even software level makes them start over the whole process. I think reading it will be very useful to understand that any rumor about Apple security is a process that can not be the fastest, but is intended to be the most accurate.

• Finally, a very good article by Mark Wilson to FastCoDesign: four myths about Apple, viewed by an ex-designer of the company. Well thought out, realistic and that we should come in handy to read when some fake try to sneak a impossible design: Apple are probably the best, but they are still human. Nothing iPhones with projected holographic display and keyboard...for now.

The entry and exit of personnel in any company is normal. Sure some movements are more important than others, by position held by or for their contributions. The contribution of John Harper was important although many may be a complete stranger.
