Even more pieces to collect

Hay multitud de cosas que Apple ha ido haciendo los últimos años y que están relacionadas con el Apple Watch. No en vano dijeron en su presentación que llevaban 3 años trabajando en este dispositivo. Tenemos HomeKit (el cual, a pesar del retraso tiene "emocionada" a Apple) y una buena cantidad de accesorios ya adaptados a esta plataforma presentados durante el último CES.

Apple is "thrilled" with the growing number of companies working on products HomeKit

Been nearly eight months since Apple submit in partnership HomeKit, August iOS API dedicated to the automation of our home, and it is expected that the first compatible devices still take three or four months to get to the shops. It's not what is said record time, right?

HomeKit allow us to do things like ask Siri to turn off the lights, lock the doors, adjust the heating or connect the alarm; and will also be possible to group the instructions we want under a single action for this automation ballet begins in unison when we leave home no matter what products we use more than one brand.

Since then promises, and although it would have been great to start testing all these things in September with the release of iOS 8 Bluetooth and Wifi chips compatible with HomeKit were delayed. Texas Instruments, Marvell and Broadcom, Apple approved manufacturers did not begin to supply until early November, and even then they did using a beta version of its Apple firmware version while finalizing the protocol.

It is Official: Angela Ahrendts is already the new senior vice president of Apple Retail

Add to Flipboard Magazine.

Tim Cook said it would be this week: finally, months after the announcement, Angela Ahrendts has ceased to be the CEO of Burberry and officially in as new head of Apple Retail and Apple online stores. This has been reflected in both the Burberry website like Apple in sections where it is shown to the policy. Rumors of this delay are contradicted. 

Angela thus becomes the only woman member of the board of Apple, answering direct orders from Tim Cook and directing two sections that had never been run together: the website of the Apple Store and the division of physical stores. Replaces John Browett, who was temporarily in charge of those stores until Tim decided to fire him for not fit well in the company.

Angela must prove that Tim Cook is not wrong choosing it as happened to John Browett

In its day, Tim said that John was the best executive to lead Apple Retail and months later had to retract. Angela's task is clearly prevent the CEO of Apple has to go through the same situation. Under her responsibility is to continue the expansion of Apple stores and maintain its reputation as the most iconic chain stores in the world. 

Who knows ... if we could see John Browett at the opening of the Apple Store in Passeig de Gràcia (Barcelona - Spain), might see Angela inaugurating the Apple Store next to Puerta del Sol (Madrid - Spain). Personally I ask only one thing: the iPad version Apple app Store reaches Spain.
