Apple Discussion Thread - iPad Air 2, iMac 5K Retina, OS X 10.10 out

[Luc 4,775]

For 16 days? Where?

I have an ipod (that's at least 5 years old now and still works good as new) and an iPhone4 which I only got a year ago and could have got the 5 but it would have cost much more on my plan. I can't imagine waiting in a line for an Apple product.

This is an example of somebody who filmed his experience of lining for 16 days (Santiago). I'm sure there were more who did this in countries such as Brazil, Argentina, Peru and Mexico.

Ahead of Apple's September 9 event, in which the company is expected to finally show off the much-rumored iWatch, an Apple designer told the New York Times (via 9to5Mac), in a larger piece about fashion and technology, that Jony Ive is bragging that the iWatch could endanger traditional watchmakers.

                                                                                                  

 

According to a designer who works at Apple, Jonathan Ive, Apple’s design chief, in bragging about how cool he thought the iWatch was shaping up to be, gleefully said Switzerland is in trouble  though he chose a much bolder term for “trouble†to express how he thought the watchmaking nation might be in a tough predicament when Apple’s watch comes out.

 

 

 

 

While part leaks for the device have been nonexistent and solid information about the device's capabilities have been hard to come by, rumors have indicated the wearable may have NFC capabilities, tight integration with iOS 8, features related to health and fitness and that it would serve as an accessory device to the iPhone.

 

Rumors have suggested the iWatch will be introduced at Apple's September 9 event and will likely launch in early 2015.

 

------

 

KGI Securities a--lyst Ming-Chi Kuo released a research note today with updated information on Apple's rumored iWatch wearable device. Echoing earlier reports, Kuo believes Apple will unveil the iWatch at its upcoming September event, with sales starting in 2015. This early announcement would create a buzz about the product and provide developers with adequate time to prepare apps for this new device.

 

 

According to Kuo, the iWatch may have a rectangular design and will include 8GB of internal storage with 512MB LPDDR3. The wristwatch will be available in two screen sizes of 1.3 and 1.5-inches in order to accommodate different wrist sizes. Apple may use between two to four different casing materials, with aluminum and gold as two likely options.

 

The fact that wearable devices don’t need much memory explains our prediction of an 8GB version with 512MB built-in memory. We expect casing material to be of 2-4 different types, with aluminum the most likely as it has been widely used in Apple products. A gold casing option is also possible, to add a luxury image to the product. We believe iWatch will be rectangular in front/ panel side shape.

 

And lastly, like some other wearable devices, we expect there to be a number of holes on the back side of the device that can be used to monitor users’ vital health signs such as heart rate.

 

Rumors have suggested the iWatch will include several sensors to monitor vital health statistics such as heart rate, sleep activity and more. The band likely will sync with the iPhone and integrate with iOS 8's Health app, which will produce a comprehensive health profile using health and fitness data compiled from a variety of third-party sources.

i tought the iphone 6 screens are going to be 4.7 and 5.5 inch big (is big the right term? )

4.7 is the usual display size for Android phones since 2010 and 5.5 since like 2012/2013 

 

so everyone with an iPhone 6 has a TV in his/her pocket 

 

not hating against Apple or iPhones, i'm just saying
