Tim Cook Apple confirms that the Watch will be sold in April

If Apple's financial results for the first quarter of 2015 and 74.5 million iPhones sold in the last three months I did not say much, I think I have something that does attract your attention. Tim Cook announced during the conference to shareholders that Apple Watch Set to launch next April.

What do you think of the iPhone 7 Farahi?

Does it move along the lines of what you want or just what you expect? Certainly in terms of design and considering the continuo line how well has worked for the apple is a concept with many possibilities and innovations as a second speaker at the opposite end of the terminal to provide a certain three-dimensional sound can not be anything wrong.

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.

Not only copied products, now copy filing dates to try to get ahead. As a personal opinion, I think they will return to to present a somewhat trying empt Apple's plans. A product they do not even 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.

The five reasons that are warming the price of Apple

1. Few bright results
The revenue of the company rose by 4.6 percent to $ 45,600 million, a record for a non-holiday quarter. This figure is above the 43.500 billion analysts had expected. Also, these accounts imply a profit of $ 11.62 per share, better than expected they were $ 10.18. Specifically, quarterly earnings increased 7%.

2. The increase in iPhone sales
Apple reported sales of 43.7 million iPhones in the first quarter, exceeding the 38 million Wall Street had predicted. This contributed to the doubts hanging over Apple's flagship device, which has shown that continues to attract the faithful.

3. The split 
Apple has announced that each share of the company will be divided by 7. This decision facilitates entry into the Dow Jones Industrial, and is one of the factors that has driven the price of the company, since the presence in index attracts so much money from passive management. In addition, this will allow fans of the company can be done with some that could not previously. There is also a psychological factor: It is not the same as having an action 7.

4. The dividend
Apple also announced an increase in the quarterly dividend by 8% to $ 3.29. The dividend has been for years one of the major demands of the investors in the technology of the apple.

5. Buyback program 
The other factor that is driving the action is the announcement that senior management has approved a new share repurchase program worth $ 30,000 million by 2015, which will certainly boost its market value.

However...

Despite these bullish factors, the results presented this week have failed to dispel the main question that continues to weigh on the company: When will Apple launch a new product?


The momentum gained by the first iPod; then by the iPhone in 2007 and finally with the iPad in 2010 is undeniable, but the competition is fierce and it now spends Google billions of dollars in artificial robotics; Samsung is gaining it while growing market in the area of smartphones. The billionaire Carl Icahn, one of the shareholders of Apple that has fought for the share repurchase program summed it up well in his Twitter account: "I completely agree with the share repurchase program and extremely pleased with the results. I also will be happy when they launch new products "

And is that who better than the own co-founder of Apple to introduce a video presentation of future company offices in Cupertino, Campus 2 of Apple, the mothership, the "new home for innovation and creativity" Apple's latest obsession and Steve before his death two and a half years ago.

"Like everything we build our new campus in Cupertino Apple pushes the limits of technology, and will be the most energy efficient building of its kind. 100% powered by renewable energy, the campus goes beyond showing respect for the environment to form an alliance with him. The air flowing between the inside and the outside of the building providing natural ventilation for 75% of the year. And sunlight is captured by one of the largest solar installations of a private company in the world."

"The building itself is only part of the story. About 80% of the land will be green space populated by more than 7000 over 6000 trees including fruit trees and newly planted forest. Plants suitable for dry climates may be located across the landscape to minimize water use are also used. "

Getting to and from the new campus will also be greener. We are expanding our program of alternatives to regular trips by 20%. This means that over a third of our nearly 15,000 employees in Cupertino can reach the new campus using biofuel buses, public transportation, bicycles, car sharing and its own feet. And for drivers, we will have over 300 charging stations for electric vehicles.

The new campus is being built from scratch to meet the highest environmental standards set by LEED, a system of classification of internationally recognized green building. When completed, Apple Campus 2 will be an ever-present in our commitment to sustainability reminder and an example of what every corporate campus can be.
