Apparently, Apple TV is not dead. Recently, Apple slashed Apple TV's price to just $69, and then inked an exclusive deal with HBO Now, and even begun putting new channels. It does appear that the tech giant is definitely trying to offer prospective buyers more reasons to buy its set-top box.
Well, there is another reason, but it is one that is offered by Target. The retailing giant is giving away a $10 Target gift card for every customer who buys an Apple TV from its stores.
So you are thinking of getting the Apple Watch, the first ever wearable device produced by Apple? As you might have known, this smartwatch will officially hit stores everywhere starting on April 24th of this year.
It happens to the best of us. No matter how careful we all are, we just can't protect our iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus devices forever. It might be through our own fault or the fault of others (yeah, go ahead, blame the cat), but it is only really a matter of time before we drop our iPhones on a hard floor and get a broken display screen.
It appears that Apple is planning to introduce an update to its Apple TV set-top streaming box sometime later this year. According to a report by web news source Buzzfeed, the tech giant will be unveiling the new Apple TV device at its Worldwide Developers Conference to be held this coming summer.
According to a Wall Street Journal report, Apple may be launching its own subscription TV service by September of this year. The tech giant is said to be in talks with various TV programmers in order to offer a subscription TV service that is Internet-based. Apple has not officially announced its plans yet, but sources cite that the subscription TV service will be unveiled in June.
iTunes Match, Google Play Music, and Amazon Cloud Player are providers that all you to access your music files in the cloud. The setup with their services usually involve scanning your songs from your personal library and then matching them with the same songs already saved in the cloud. If a particular song is not available in the cloud, you will be given a chance to upload that song from your personal library. All three of them have different advantages to offer to music lovers, and on the flip side, they also have their own set of disadvantages.
We all may have heard it before. The one about wearable devices being the next big thing. Certain circles have even gone to the extent of declaring that wearable devices will soon supplant smartphones as the foremost mobile device of choice for everyone. But so far, we haven't seen anything like that yet, especially in the minds of most consumers (save perhaps for fitness tracking geeks) who generally still think of wearable devices as more cute than functional.
Last year, Apple bought Beats Music to the tune of $3 billion. But since completing its acquisition, the company has been relatively quiet about its plans for the Beats Music streaming service.
Mobile payment systems are gaining traction today, especially with the high profile release of Apple Pay, the near field communications (NFC) based system that Apple developed and released late last year. Since then, we have seen lots of retailers, banking institutions, credit card companies, and soon, even vending machines, gas pumps, and federal agencies support Apple Pay. The good thing about the launch of Apple Pay is that is also encouraged consumers to pay attention to mobile payment systems in general, including those that existed way before Apple introduced its own system.
China, particularly its urban areas, make up the biggest smartphone market in the world today. And it appears that Apple has managed to capture a quarter of all smartphone sales in that market.
According to Kantar Worldpanel ComTech, for the period spanning November 2014 to January 2015, Apple's market share in urban China is 25.4 percent. For the record, that is the biggest market share that the company has ever scored in that country. Last year, Apple only had a 17.4 market share in the same three-month period.
