Apple Event October 22

Hello fellow Apple enthusiasts!! Apple announced last Tuesday they would be hosting an event today! Some key topics they may discuss include : the release date of the new Mac Pro (announced in the spring), new iPads, and possibly the new iWatch. They will possibly demo the Mac Pro with OSX Mavericks as well as the new iPads.

Their title "We Still Have a Lot to Cover" leaves some speculation as to what Apple will be doing in their final quarter. Apple's CEO, Tim Cook, hinted to new whole category. This means there are going to be category's of Apple TVs, iPhones, iPads, iPods, macs, Mac Pro, MacBooks, MacBook Airs, and more unannounced category's to come! 

Apple has always amazed us in every event they do. Let's see how they amaze us this time! T minus 2 hours!!!

Remembering Steve...

Today marks the two year anniversary of the late Steve Jobs. It seems like it was just yesterday that he was still with us. To Steve we are especially grateful for his vision, eye for design, and willingness to take risk that we all so greatly appreciate around the world.

The iPhone 4S came out shortly after his death, later to be coined the "iPhone for (4) Steve." He truly was a remarkable man. Heading up the most innovative company, his hand in products have impacted millions. Steve was always one for design, seen in each one of Apple`s products.

It has been said, that even before the iPhone 5 was released, Steve had his hand in designing it. With the iPhone 5s released, it would seem that next year`s iPhone would receive a new form factor. A completely new shape that Steve had no part in designing. How will Apple live up to Steve`s legacy?

Jony Ive has done a pretty good job on the next version of iOS : iOS 7. Let`s hope that he continues his signature for incredible design with the new iPads and iPhones to come. The new iMac looks great. If this is a harbinger of Ive`s design then Apple`s greatest days are still to come!

 

iOS 7, iPhone 5C, iPhone 5S, and iWatch

As announced by Apple on Tuesday, the iPhone 5S keynote will be held on Tuesday, September 10th at 10:00 PT. Sources tell me that along with the iPhone 5S they will also be announcing the iPhone 5C, revealing the release date for the new Mac Pro as well as demoing it at the event. My sources also tell me that later this fall or early next year, Apple will be unveiling the long awaited for iWatch.

   
The iPhone 5C is a cheaper alternative to a regular iPhone, kicking the iPhone 4S out of the running in the iPhone market. The lineup for this quarter will be iPhone 5S, iPhone 5, followed by the iPhone 5C. Leaked pictures and specs have revealed that the iPhone 5C will have a 4 inch display like that of the iPhone 5. The iPhone 5C will come in an assortment of colors including red, yellow, light blue, lime green, and white. 

The iPhone 5S will come in 3 colors this time including: black (slate), white (silver) and a new white and champagne color. 

My sources tell me that the iWatch has a touch screen display, along with a headphone jack, a built in pedometer, Siri integration, along with many other features. The iWatch streams via Bluetooth from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. Pictures can be viewed on the watch as well a music listened to via the headphone jack.

Samsung's recently released gear watch only plays music via the phone itself, which could be a hassle if you are in class and hit the play button (oops!). The iWatch will give you the option of playing on the watch or the iDevice before it plays.

     

Apple CEO Tim Cook hinted to even more new product lines being released in fall of 2014 in a recent interview. He may have been hinting to the iWatch along with long awaited iTV. Instead of having a console hooked up to your TV, the iTV will be contained in one unit in three sizes.

 
Apple hasn't even released these products, yet they are already boggling the minds of millions. Once again Apple has outdone themselves.
