For all the Apple fans -- are you up to date with Apple's newest offerings for 2013?
According to Fortune magazine, you can expect these 5 new products from Apple this year:
- Apple Radio (March 20313): Move over Pandora -- Apple will be offering a free streaming radio service (linked to iTunes) - making a profit mostly from ad revenue. Sadly, Pandora stock fell 12% the day following the announcement of Apple Radio's launch. Look out!
- iPad Mini with Retina Display (March 2013): Apple sold more than 3 million iPads with retina display over a single weekend in March, and between 8-10 million iPad mini devices are reported to have shipped by the end of 2012, according to Digitimes. The retina display offers crystal-clear images. No fuzzy, pixelated photos (even if they're taken by the kids!)
- iOS7 (June 2013): Apple has a bit to prove with this upgrade version. After giving YouTube and Google Maps apps the boot - it's expected to meet some dissapointed users' expectations with the new apps it will offer.
- iPhone 5S (June 2013): The Newer iPhone will be the same size, same width - but with a better camera (of course) and better battery life. This time around, it's not about the outside, but the inside that counts.
- Apple Television (November 2013): They're not talking about an Apple digital receiver box (which already exists) - they're talking about an actual Apple television. Munster and Clinton predict an Apple TV will measure 42" to 55" and cost between $1500 and $2000.
What do you think? Exciting new advancements - or nothing too special?
A better question would be -- what are we going to do with this evolving technology? Over here - we're hoping people will take advantage of learning materials that can be accessed on mobile devices. Apple or no apple - we think the future holds some exciting new turns for training.
