Remember that mysterious Dodge Caravan kitted out with multiple cameras cruising the streets or Northern California last week? The fact that it was actually leased to Apple managed to not only turn a few heads, but also got a few tongues wagging about the possibility of Tim Cook's company working on a next-generation vehicle to extend its current product offering.
The iTunes App Store is packed to the gills, featuring thousands of great (and not so great) apps and games. With such a high volume of content available, users must take advantage of the various methods of finding the best, most interesting or most popular. But while those high on the most-downloaded lists are bound to be heavily-used, one ethically questionable Chinese firm demonstrates how even download / install stats can be manipulated.
If you've had even a passing interest in the world of Apple over the last few years then you'll be all too aware that rumors surrounding a possible Apple television simply refuse to go away. Things have been a little quieter than usual over the last few months, but Apple is still apparently working to drag the television industry into the 21st century.
Last year's cycle of Apple keynotes followed a fairly recognized pattern, with the Worldwide Developers' Conference in June swiftly followed up by the iPhone (and Apple Watch) event in September and the iPad refreshes shortly thereafter. But with a new smartwatch on the horizon, one which, as Tim Cook mentioned last week, is on track for April release, we know that there'll be at least one major event before this summer's developer gathering, and according to a new report, the Cupertino is planning to hold a major announcement at the end of this month.
There has been an increasing amount of speculation and conjecture recently amongst technology analysts who claim that despite Apple's recent record-breaking earnings call the Cupertino company could be in long-term jeopardy due to its lack of recent innovation. That level of doom and gloom has largely been dismissed by the wider technology community but it has managed to plant the seed in our minds of what Apple could potentially be working on next. According to multiple reports, Tim Cook's company could be looking at self-driving vehicles, a possibility that has gained some credibility thanks to a mysterious Dodge Caravan that has been spotted in and around the Bay Area.
We're smack bang in the middle of quarterly results season right now and with Apple announcing a record quarter that was backed up heavily by iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus sales all attention turned to Samsung to see what the Korean firm had to offer.
In a rush of achievement that many analysts had been predicting for some time now, Apple has risen to the top in China as the leading smartphone vendor in the gargantuan market.
Before Apple's earnings call tonight, we knew that the company was going to come through with the big numbers. The iPhone 6 and 6 Plus sold in monumentally high volumes during those first few weeks and months on sale, and the rampant shipments have certainly hindered rivals such as Samsung. Amid the fanfare, the Mac maker has also revealed that since 2007, it has shifted one billion iOS devices, which is a phenomenal achievement and shows the continued strength of the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch line up.
Did you know the largest Apple Store in Asia was just inaugurated? Located in China, the store has been opened up for public, and is making news across the globe. Head on after the jump for further details.
It seemed that everyone had an opinion on whether Apple should launch a large iPhone before we actually got two in the shape of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, but according to newly released figures, all that hot air actually turned into cold hard market share around the globe. Most notably though, it meant that Apple could take the fight to Samsung in its own backyard.
