Apple shows the new MacBook Air and MacBook Pro at WWDC 2013

As the DigiTime referring to representatives of the supply chain, shipments laptops MacBook Air and MacBook Pro in the quarter would be 10% more than in the previous quarter. Apple almost got rid of the stocks in mid-May and will make new orders. The presentation of new models of Mac-laptops is expected in the coming months, industry sources believe.

May orders Apple will address the updated models in the line of processors Haswell, which will replace the currently used in the MacBook and iMac processors Intel Ivy Bridge.

Given that in the first quarter of 2013, shipments of laptops based on OS X was small, growth of 10% will have little impact on the overall picture.

An image of the plastic casing “iPhone for the poor” [photo]

The network has view of the housing budget iPhone, made ​​of plastic. The source of the image has become a resource Tactus, who earlier this week published photos of the covers for the fifth-generation iPad. Argued that the shell is made of a low-cost iPhone polycarbonate plastic housing material resembling iMac G3 late 1990s - early 2000s.

The thickness of the component according to the source, is 0.4-0.6 mm, and the full assembly can be increased to 9 mm. Housing dimensions - 120 mm in height and 62-65 mm in width. Thus, if it is confirmed the authenticity of the image, budget smartphone Apple will be slightly longer and wider than the iPhone 4/4S.

It is reported that low-cost version of the iPhone will lose Retina Display and will be built on a processor A5, which is used in the iPad mini, and other i-devices. This will reduce the cost of the machine.

Recall analysts attributed the budget iPhone price from $ 300 to $ 400. In this scenario, he will enjoy enough popularity in the markets of developing countries, especially if he gets a decent screen and befitting electronic stuffing. The recently proposed for comparable money smartphones past generations are able to meet the demands of unassuming customers, but Apple insists too often a reluctance to produce products that can not be described as "the best in the world."

However, analysts predict cannibalization expensive models in favor of “affordable iPhone”. According to forecasts of Piper Jeffrey, after appearing in the sale of new items it will be able to take away the buyer almost one in three smartphone Apple. In other words, the level cannibalization reach 30%. In 2014, may be sold to 75 million such phones. As a result, Apple lose its position in the segment expensive smartphones reducing market share from 43% to 37%. However, in the segment of low-cost smartphones Apple increase its market share from zero to 11%.

In pursuit of Apple: Microsoft has developed its own "smart" watches

It is much published information on the work of Apple, Google and Samsung to create a "smart" watches. According to The Wall Street Journal, did not get off to the front ranks of a promising market and the company Microsoft.

As it became known, a senior official of an Asian company met with representatives of research and development for the Microsoft negotiations on the supply of components, which can be used in an electronic bracelet. It's about touch screens with a diagonal of 1.5 inches. Thus, the American newspaper has confirmed that previously went to the level of speculation, that the Redmond company also creates wearable computer.

Thus, Microsoft has joined the list of vendors that are sure going to release the device wearable electronics: as long as it includes Google, Apple, Samsung and LG. As you know, the "apple" corporation develops its own electronic bracelet, Samsung and LG are planning to make it competitive in this area, and Google is creating augmented reality glasses, which sell to the general plans to start in about 2014.

According to rumors, to date, Microsoft is developing a design only "smart" watches, while the final decision on their release yet been taken. Representatives of the software giant does not comment on this information.

It should be noted that the experts are four main segments of the market promising wearable electronics: devices for fitness and health, medical sensors and devices, devices for industrial and military use and devices for information and entertainment.

According to the forecast Juniper Research, in the period from 2013 to 2017, sales of these devices will grow from 15 million to 70 million units. In money terms, in the future, the market will almost double - to $ 1.5 billion, compared to $ 800 million this year.

Analyst: Cheap iPhone will be released in July for $399

A new more affordable for consumers the iPhone version will be released in July 2013. It will cost from $349 to $399 without binding to the cellular operator. This is stated in the report, an analyst at Topeka Capital Markets Brian White, Who for the last two weeks was in South-East Asia.

Earlier there were rumors that Apple plans to introduce two new models of the iPhone in June, while their release is scheduled for next month. However, the price of the device has not been reported. White points out that the sources of suppliers and manufacturers are still called affordable smartphone Apple «iPhone mini», although he probably will have a 4-inch screen, like the iPhone 5. The model will be more subtle body made of plastic in different colors.

Low-cost version of the iPhone, made of cheap materials - a fertile ground for rumors. Although the release of this smartphone for many does not look like a real prospect. The fact that Apple has always focused on segments of devices with high profit margins, whether smartphones, tablets or computers. Release of low-cost phone would help to restrain the growth of the market share of the main competitor - Android, but such a device may devalue the perception of the Apple brand as a manufacturer of premium devices in the future and reduce its desirability. After all, the image of the premium manufacturer allows the empire of Steve Jobs to control the market of expensive smartphones. By giving your customers cheap gadgets, Apple then it will be difficult to explain why the prices of other devices remain high, and this process can destroy her strategy.

In other words, the most affordable for the masses for the Apple device will create more problems than it would solve, and it is unlikely the company it does not understand. Another possible scenario can be seen on the situation of iPad mini, which is cheaper than a full-sized iPad and quickly "eat off" in his sales, reducing the profitability of this direction for Apple, which is always perceived by the company as a higher priority than the fight for market share.

The report Reuters also says that Microsoft spokesman declined to comment on the company's plans.

Remember that in November last year, has already appeared information that Microsoft is creating a tablet with a seven-inch screen Xbox Surface , focused on the game.

Submitted leak photo is probably the front iPad 5

Developed the design following two iPhone, Steve Jobs

The last days before his death, the founder of Apple, Steve Jobs spent surrounded by his loved ones. It does not solve any business issues and meet with friends. However, knowing that soon depart in peace another, Jobs has developed a plan for the production of new products from Apple in the next few years. At least the following two iPhone models developed during the life of the icon. This was reported by the U.S. newspaper The San Francisco Examiner, with reference to the District Attorney of San Francisco.

 

George Gascon, trying to solve the problem of theft of mobile devices in the city, met with operators and device manufacturers, including Apple, because the iPhone steal half the time. The prosecutor was disappointed from the negotiations with the operators, and hoped that a California company can make a difference.

As noted by The San Francisco Examiner, Michael Foulkes, Apple representative for relations with the government talked very much and good, but in fact did not say anything desired. However, in his speech, Foulkes announced curious fact is, the two future-generation iPhone have been developed and approved by Steve Jobs - up to his death in the autumn of 2011.

U.S. regulators were thinking of introducing a special phone, remotely-activated mechanism to block stolen mobile phone. But there may be a number of issues, including those related to false reports of theft.

According to rumors, Apple is now actively working on low-cost version of the device. The fact that the Corporation has released iPad mini in an effort to prevent the capture of the tablet market competition, makes it quite likely yield and is cheaper version of the iPhone.
