The Fall Of The Apple Inc.

So far this year has been nightmare for Apple Inc., Although Apple tried to put a strong stand when in early 2016 it confirmed it's First Off-Shore Development Centre* to be established in India. But in truth Apple has ever since been drowning.  Recently in my previous posts I explained what Decisions Apple Have Made Wrong* And How Google Will Knock Down Apple*. 

When Apple launched iPhone 6 it was said to be the highest selling product from Apple in one week of launch, but soon after reports from users came pouring about how bad quality was delivered at such a steep price. Apple's image took a serious hit. The economy of Apple sunk to a new low which the company has never seen before, so Apple decided to bring New Policies For Damaged iPhone* which they thought would make customers trade their old iPhone for iPhone 6. 

Meanwhile Investors started pulling out and then came the battle of ages, apparently Apple decided to get in ring with Uncle Sam. Like they already hadn't had enough shit. Now company's so called another "FLAGSHIP" is rumored to loose it's audio jack. Yes, iPhone 7 Might Not Have Audio Jack*, which again made it's loyal customers a bit angry. Now it's confirmed that company has decided to cut iPhone production by 30%. I Mean Come on 30% . And on top of it now a Florida Sheriff is Out for Tim Cook*. Basically Apple is tacking hit where ever it can and being brought down by their CEO.

Sheriff Out To Get Tim Cook Once He Gets Green Signal

Sheriff Grady Judd has made it very clear that he is on the side of FBI on the matter of Privacy in a recent press conference. He openly taunted Tim Cook when he said “I can tell you, the first time we do have trouble getting into a cellphone, we’re going to seek a court order from Apple.  And when they deny us, I’m going to go lock the CEO of Apple up.” And promised "I'll Lock The Rascal Up".

And he is right to be angry, I Mean What would be the importance of privacy without safety, would you rather die then to unlock your phone ??? And who is trying to invade your privacy " your government" right ?? Why ??? Because they wanna make COUNTRY SAFE.   

iPhone 7's Audio Jack Removal.....Rumor or Truth

It's been few days since rumors about Apple iPhone 7 are bursting on internet, one of which has got a lot of peopled to believe it's true. The rumor is that iPhone 7 will have no Audio Jack. I said it's rumor because it hasn't yet been officially made clear, but to the best of my knowledge this rumor is backed by leaks and sources. Considering the rumor to be true I took a short Google+ Poll, and around 68% of people believed it to be a really bad  move from Apple. What you think ... Let us know through poll. a

Apple Inc. Has Started Making Bad Decisions

We all know about the fight between Apple & FBI, as the issue is currently exhausting most of Apple's resources and attention other giants are moving forward. Apple is more & more concerned for winning the battle against FBI that for a time being it might be overlooking the threat their competitor poses,And 

Fate Hits You When You Expect It The Least.

Recently it's suggested through reports and leaks that Apple has removed audio jack from it's next flag ship device iPhone 7. At first it was believed that it's a good and bold move to remove the audio jack cause it will make the device slim and took balls to do it and fans of Apple said at-least Apple had the guts to do it, and move the built to next level, but the fail to comply with the fact that iPod is slim than iPhone and still has the audio jack. So basically removing audio jack has nothing to do with the fact to reduce the dimension of device, it's most likely a cost cutting move. Now when/if they remove the audio jack they might make it up by providing wired connection through charging port via a separate connector which apparently will be another accessory for apple users to buy. So Apple did cost cutting on it's product smartly and charged their customers for it and ofcourse Apple would the first to sell those connectors  and that too on steep price.

The second issue to consider is, that every new device that apple launches is another so called FLAGSHIP DEVICE. Never ever has Apple considered to launch a device that could allow their loyal customers and fans to buy a decent priced device, and so no matter what they have to buy Apple's steep priced devices. Have you ever came across news that said "A Man Sold His House For iPhone 6" if not "GOOGLE IT" :P. 

There's a storm coming in economic world and it's inevitable. So there's no doubt that Apple will loose customers if it keeps on launching only high end devices. while Apple is making change to design of same product (iPhone) Google is trying to launch Project Ara which might be considered as  ONCE IN A LIFE TIME PHONE and with it's basic model is believed to cost just $50. More over a customer wouldn't have to buy a whole new device when he wants to upgrade. Considering all these fact it's safe to say that Google Might Know Down Apple. I mean we all know about the hit Apple's Economy took in last quarter.

It's a sad fact that Apple is forgetting the belief of Steve Jobs as he wanted to snatch the market from bullies and provide users the premium experience of technology at reasonable cost.

Apple's First Off-Shore Tech. Development Centre To Open In India

Following in the foot steps of Tech. giants Google & Microsoft, Apple has decided to enter the territory of India. It's been believed that Apple will open it's Technology Development Center some time in June, 2016 which is hoped to be fully functional by the end of the year.

Though a decade ago Apple had a Tech. Support Centre located in Bangalore,India which was closed due to poor quality of services. So far Apple has kept its operations regarding Tech, Development strictly inside the border of United States Of America. 

This would be a big step for Apple as it's company's first offshore development center. The Apple's  first Off-Shore Technology Development Centre will open in Hyderabad, India at a site of  250,000 sq,ft of land.The whole project is believed to cost $25 Million, Approx. over Rs.150 Crore (vary with currency exchange rate). The Tech. Development Centre is anticipated to generate nearly 4,500 jobs for locals. Major IT companies like Infosys,  Wipro & Microsoft are among who already has a setup in IT Corridor.

Being building it's first Off-Shore Development Centre, it's safe to say that the California-Based Multinational  Tech. Development Company must have exercised all it's resources and research so as to decide where it is that a center should be set-up. The decision of building in India is a very calculated & smart move. India is one of the most highly populated developing country in the world,  meaning the cost of labor/employee is cheap comparatively, competition is higher as the population of youth is more and all in all  India has always been known for it's innovations and inventions,Whether it'a Zero or Wireless Communication or even Binary Code even in the Ink.   

Apple's New Policy For Damged Iphones

It's been a while since apple has been buy damaged products in exchange for credit from it's customers.The reason for buying damaged products was to repair them and sell them back in market under a banner "Refurbished", these refurbished goods are so to speak are second hand and were damaged(at one point) but are repaired to it's fully functionality status and resold and cut-price. This Marketing strategy was successful as it made it affordable for a lot of people to purchase refurbished good and enjoy the same material at lower price.  

Apple Inc. was happy as it was now able to target the class which otherwise wouldn't buy expensive products and it made customer happy cause now they can have the same thing but only is refurbished for lower rate as a result Apple Inc. sales went up.

Apple Inc. set certain guidelines for buying damaged products and assigned credit accordingly.But Apple Inc. Sales have taken a hit and investors are worried if the effects will be long-term. So Apple renewed the guidelines for Iphone. Previously If one had an Iphone with working Display, Camera and buttons he could get a credit upto $350 and then credit value falls as the damage increases. But since the hit on sales of Iphone Apple seems to have renewed these guidelines so as to make it easy for customer to exchange or upgrade to new models, as of this moment I don't have specifics to new guidelines but be on the lookout if you make up your mind to buy an Iphone or wanna upgrade to new one .

Apple's Best Ever Invention Isn't iPhone Or iPad....!!

The Only History That Is Worth A Tinker's Damn Is The History You Make Today.  ~ Henry Ford

On January 9, 2007 . Steve Jobs launches the first ever Apple's Device , whose main aim was to converge three basic functions of any electronic device namely Music Player,Phone and Internet Browsing. It was named iPhone and ever since iPhone has been one of the best in the field of smartphones,But when I say Apple's Best Ever Invention it's not iPhone I'm talking about or Macintosh(1984) or Apple 1(1977) . I Remember Watching on youtube The Keynote Address held at the Macworld Conference & Expo, There Steve Jobs quoted Alan Kay "People Who Are Really Serious About Software Should Make Their Own Hardware".  With the launch of iPhone Apple made a major breakthrough in the Electronic World, but as we know Every hardware needs a software so as to make it user friendly , and so Apple introduced its own "OS X (now Known To Us As IOS)" . IOS which form my point of view is the best ever invention of Apple.

OS X the very first version of IOS  was introduced with First Gen Iphone,ever since their had been 8 versions of IOS till date. OS X had a lot of features that were never seen before working so efficiently on a mobile device.Feature such as Visual Voicemail,Multi-Touch Gestures, HTML Email,Threaded Text Messaging & Youtube.

Visual Voicemail:

This feature was first introduced effectively in First Gen Iphone.This feature allowed user to randomly access a voicemail from the list of messages to playback, it may include a transcript of message. On August 2011 Apple was granted confirmation of patent on "Voicemail Manager For portable Multifunctional Device" .

Multi Touch Gestures:

Multi Touch is the ability of a surface to recognize the presence of more than one points of contact with the surface, Gestures are the action/path followed by the pointing device on any particular surface. So Multi-touch Gestures is basically an ability to direct an action of a device through its surface by the use of one or more pointing devices.

HTML Email:

HyperText Markup Language Email is the type that allows formatting of text,insertion of art.Formatting tools such as Bold Italic Underline etc. and art such as image or any other visual effect.

Threaded Text Messaging:

This is one the most adopted feature in field of communication. It's Conversation-like display of messages between the sender and receiver.

Youtube:

Apple devices before Iphone didn't had capability to play videos via web,Youtube was introduced in First Gen Iphone so as to allow users to view videos on Youtube.

Over the years IOS has evolved drastically and it isn't just one of the best but also known as the most addictive user interface,apparently people who once get the hang of IOS doesn't like operating any other OS. The latest version of iOS is iOS 8. With every new version of IOS new features were added,bugs/issues were resolved, interface was made better and attractive and the OS was made faster.

Everything has it's pros and cons so does Apple's iOS. It's brilliant, amazingly designed, effectively fast responsive, user friendly but it restricts you in a lot of ways too. iOS doesn't allow file sharing that easily which in this era is one of the most important feature needed to connect to people, there are third party applications like Xender that lets you transfer media from iPhone but it would've been nicer if iOS had actually made sharing easy. Some Apple devices are only compatible to  limited formats of media like iTunes and do not support any other format which is a bit frustrating sometimes when a user has to convert every single media file so as to be able to play it on device. Even with these two major drawbacks iOS has made iPhones and iPad  major devices in the field of smartphone.

Imagine Your Iphone or iPad without iOS......you can't..right? So isn't it a fact that IOS made the devices(Iphone & iPad) what they are today?
