Time
to start gathering together again Apple
iPhone fans, Lemming and Sheep!
It’s
that time of year again when the faithful followers of the Apple cult gather for yet another Apple iPhone launch. This is the Good News
being spread about like Christmas is coming.
Expectations
are high that Apple will bring out the Big
Guns as it relates to the Apple iPhone on
this date that is close to Tuesday Sept 11th 2012AD as stated in “Apple Sends Out
Invitations for iPhone 5 Event”, published September 4, 2012 by Peter
Pachal, Mashable. That was a day synonymous
with the Tragedy that struck in 2002AD when “terrorists” attacked and destroyed
the World Trade Center Buildings, Kamikaze style, killing nearly 3,000 people.
Apple may be drawing on this symbolism, as on
Wednesday September 12th 2012AD, Apple
will be packing approximately that many people into the Yerba Buena Center for
the Arts to see what plans they have to unveil for the destruction of the
growing Twin Towers of Google Android powered smartphones and Tablets.
Expectations
are high as to what kind of weaponry Apple
may be bringing to justify their top tier position in BOTH segments of the
Mobile Computing market. If you’ve been following the rumours and “news” from
the very secretive Company, they have neither confirmed nor denied the rumors, further fuelling speculation. But the
elements are already falling into place, making it fairly easy to figure out
what actually coming.
First,
clues can be seen by looking back into the past…..
Annual
WWDC (World Wide Developers Conference) on Monday June 11th 2012
teased the first clues with the revamp of the Apple
Macbook Line and the debut of Apple iOS 6.0
as predicted in my blog article
entitled “Apple's
WWDC heralds the Return of the Mac and iOS 6.0 - Future Hunt for Red October
Amazon and Samsung in Mini-Tablets and IPTV”.
Many
major announcements were made, inclusive of the deep integration of FaceBook
into iOS 6.0 akin to Twitter with iOS 5.0 a year prior as stated in my blog article
entitled “Apple
deeply integrating Facebook into iOS 6.0 - The Penguins of Madagascar Microsoft
and Apple save the Devil in the Blue Dress”.
A bold move by Facebook who are yet to develop a solid Strategy to take
advantage of the global Trending towards Mobile Computing and smartphones!
The
Event at Apple’s Headquarters on Tuesday
October 4th 2011AD at 10AM PDT as anticipated in my blog article
entitled “Apple
iPhone 5 Event on Tuesday October 4 - Let's Talk iPhone as Android Dominance
Looms” and the Geezam blog article
entitled “Apple
iPhone 5 coming in October and the Apple iPad 3 is in the wings” began the
year right with the debut of the Apple iPhone
4S packed with Siri Voice Assistant.
It
was also the month that Apple CEO Steven
Paul Jobs died, on Monday October 3rd 2011AD, a day before the Apple Event on Tuesday October 4th
2011AD as stated in “Steve
Jobs died of respiratory arrest, tumor”, published Monday October 10, 2011
8:00pm EDT, Reuters.
This
event, which along with the new Features such as Apple
iMessage may have been truly responsible for propelling the Apple iPhone to such stratospheric heights as
noted in my blog
article entitled “Apple
iPhone 4S is a hit and the Apple iPod may get an upgrade - Steve Jobs Opus
Major” and the Geezam blog article
entitled “Apple
iPhone 4S Post Mortem – Siri Voice
Assistant and iMessage Rock”.
The
Apple iPhone 4S then went on to cut into
Android Sales according to statistics from CIRP (Consumer
Intelligence Research Partners) as stated in my Geezam blog
article entitled “Nielsen declares Apple iPhone
4S cut into Android Sales”and my blog article entitled “Apple iPhone 4S Taking a bite out of
Christmas 2011AD Android Sales - Google Android Fragmentation is Avril Lavange
Complicated”.
But the news for Apple
remained grim, as Apple is still losing ground to smartphones makers
with higher quality manufacturing of their smartphones using Google’s stellar
Google android OS, now in its fourth iteration, dubbed Google JellyBean.
In addition, the Amazon
Kindle Fire Tablet, the Digital storefront extension of Amazon.com’s
Retail Empire, has also claimed a strong spot in the still rapidly expanding
Tablet market. Despite having lackluster specs, the Amazon
Kindle Fire managed to claim the No. 2 spot in terms of Christmas Sales of
Tablets, taking away some of the Apple iPad’s customers as noted in my blog article
entitled “Amazon
Kindle Fire is now No. 2 behind the Apple iPad 2 - Deathrace to London Olympics
2012AD”.
This forced Apple
to change some of its plans via a Press Event in January to effectively
announce support for Digital Textbooks on the Apple
iPad as noted in my blog article
entitled “Apple
iPad 3 Launch on March 2012 - Amazon Kindle Fire is a Sweet Dream but a
Beautiful Nightmare for Apple” and my
Geezam blog article entitled “Amazon
sells 5.5 million Kindle Fires in Fourth Quarter 2012 – Apple iPad sales drop
and plans January Press Event”.
Meanwhile Google JellyBean is yet to make an
appearance on smartphones. But it is already the power behind the Google Nexus
7 Tablet that made its debut later in July 2012 as stated in “Google's Nexus 7 guns for the Kindle”, published Wednesday,
July 04, 2012, The Jamaica Observer.
With
the Google Nexus 7 Tablet, Google has
its sights on taking some of the rapidly expanding Tablet Marketshare by possibly
debuting a 3G or LTE Version later this Fourth Quarter of 2012AD as noted in my
blog article
entitled “Google
Nexus 7 Tablet to upgrade to 3G or LTE - Google Nexus 7 is a ParaNorman Bladerunner
to kill the Amazon Kindle Fire 2”.
Annual
WWDC (World Wide Developers Conference) on Monday June 11th 2012
teased the first clues with the revamp of the Apple
Macbook Line and the debut of Apple iOS 6.0
as predicted in my blog article “Apple's
WWDC heralds the Return of the Mac and iOS 6.0 - Future Hunt for Red October
Amazon and Samsung in Mini-Tablets and IPTV”.
Many
major announcements were made, inclusive of the deep integration of FaceBook
into iOS 6.0 akin to Twitter with iOS 5.0 a year prior as stated in my blog article
entitled “Apple
deeply integrating Facebook into iOS 6.0 - The Penguins of Madagascar Microsoft
and Apple save the Devil in the Blue Dress”. A bold move by Facebook who
are yet to develop a solid Strategy to take advantage of the global Trending
towards Mobile Computing and smartphones!
The
Apple iPhone 5, as the invite suggests, may
be packing the following improvements expected when the Apple iPhone 4S was launched:
1. A
new design, mainly a bigger true 4” Screen with a higher Retina Display resolution
and a body made from LiquidMetal as I had predicted in my blog article
entitled “Apple
iPhone 5 and its Design - Of Gods, Critics, Lemmings, Sheep and Men”
2. Memory
upgrade to 128GB
3. Apple iPhone in other colours than White or
Black, albeit this is unlikely, as Apple
leaves the changing of the casing up to the owner.
4. A
new 8 Pin Port Dongle, albeit this is unlikely as it will alienate Apple Third party product designers
5. Improved
12.1 Megapixel Camera using the RJ63YC100, the 12.1 Megapixel camera designed by Sharp
Electronics Corp of Japan as predicted in my blog article
entitled “Sharp
develops world's thinnest 12.1 Megapixel Camera - Apple iPhone 5 and Apple iPad
3 in Sharp's focus”
6. Built
in 4G LTE support on all Carriers
7. Official
FaceTime support on all Carriers over 3G as opposed to over Wi-Fi (IEEE
802.11n) only
8. A
new true Quad-Core processor, most likely named the A6 as predicted in my blog article
entitled “Apple's
WWDC heralds the Return of the Mac and iOS 6.0 - Future Hunt for Red October
Amazon and Samsung in Mini-Tablets and IPTV”.
9. Support
for 4G LTE, as had been expected for the Apple
iPhone 4S
10. iOS
6.0, which had been introduced from Apple
WWDC Conference held on Monday June 11th 2012 as predicted in my blog article
entitled “Apple's
WWDC heralds the Return of the Mac and iOS 6.0 - Future Hunt for Red October
Amazon and Samsung in Mini-Tablets and IPTV” with all the new features.
11. Siri
Voice Assistant, much improved from its debut as noted in my blog article
entitled “Apple
iPhone 4S is a hit and the Apple iPod may get an upgrade - Steve Jobs Opus
Major” and the Geezam blog article
entitled “Apple
iPhone 4S Post Mortem – Siri Voice
Assistant and iMessage Rock” with built in Developer Licensing and Support
for Third Party App and Applications outside of iOS 6.0.
12. NFC
(Near Field Communication) support for secure high speed file transfers and
monetary transactions using your smartphone as per my blog article
entitled “Telecom
Provider, Apple,
Google and NFC - In Her Majesty's Secret Service”
13. Better
Battery Life, upwards of five (5) days full usage via the inclusion of
integrated solar panels into the design as per my blog article
entitled “Apple
iPhone 5 and its Design - Of Gods, Critics, Lemmings, Sheep and Men” or
just simply a bigger battery.
14. Wireless
Charging Technology integrated into the pone design, which may include charging
using integrated solar Panels, motion charging or even recharging using Sound
as surmised in my blog
article entitled “uBeam's
Perry & Dweck Ultrasonic Power Transfer - Rafe Needleman's Hidden Village
of Sound”.
Apple may also make other announcements on the
day as well, again as opined in my blog article
entitled “Apple's
WWDC heralds the Return of the Mac and iOS 6.0 - Future Hunt for Red October
Amazon and Samsung in Mini-Tablets and IPTV”:
1. Announcement
on further details of the Apple Television
Set
2. Announcement
of an intention to make an Apple iPad Mini
to counter the threat of the Amazon Fire
HD, which now clearly has Apple in their
sights as noted in the article “Amazon
assaults iPad turf with high-end Kindle Fire HD”, published September 6,
2012 1:36 PM PDT by Jay Greene, CNET News
3. Announcement
of refreshes to the Apple iPod line-up,
possibly in the form of iOS 6.0, iCloud and Bluetooth 4.0 Wireless support
4. Announcement
of Licensing agreements with Third-party Developers to use Siri Voice Assistant
in other Applications other than on Apple
Products
So
what does Apple need to do going forward?
On
a legal font, Apple needs to take action
against Samsung and the growing bevy of improving products and also introduce
new products as opined in my blog article
entitled “Apple's
WWDC heralds the Return of the Mac and iOS 6.0 - Future Hunt for Red October
Amazon and Samsung in Mini-Tablets and IPTV”.
Apple have already done so. This by taking
legal action to have Samsung’s products , banned from entering various markets
around the world in 2011AD as stated in my blog article entitled “Apple
blocks Samsung Galaxy Tab in EU - Dancehall Hero's Revenge of the Sith”.
Specifically the Samsung Galaxy Tablet which came out mere months
after the Apple iPad running on Google Android as stated in my Geezam blog article
entitled “Samsung
Galaxy - Apple iPad's contender for the Christmas”.
Samsung went ahead despite warnings from Google that the OS was
not suited for the Tablet Form Factor as stated in “Google’s
Big Tease on Tablets: Android or Chrome OS?”,
published Sat Sep 11, 2010 12:11 pm ET by Jeff Bertolucci, PC World on Yahoo News. They
have since perfected it, however, reaching the point of even coming to Jamaica
with Tablets being sold by Telecom Provider Digicel as noted in my Geezam blog article
entitled “Samsung
Galaxy and Digicel – Tablet Wars coming to Jamaica”.
Then in a recent legal battle followed all over the world, Apple came out
victorious in the Supreme Court against Samsung, winning US$1.05 billion in
patent infringement claims and damages against Samsung as reported in my
blog article
entitled “Apple
win US$1.05 billion in Patent Infringement Case against Samsung - Jurors in a
Premium Rush to Limit Innovation in Product Design”.
The
victory is somewhat pyrrhic, as albeit it asserts Apple’s right to protect their intellectual
property, it does nothing to protect the Apple
iPad as well as the newer model smartphone designs.
Also
the award is a lot less than the US$2.5 billion Apple
was hoping for from the tech giant that manufactures its own brand of products
and licenses its technology to other companies, supplying them with parts to
make their products. Apple may soon, in the
coming month, scale back its dependence on Samsung components to make their
components and make their own.
To
wit, Apple needs to do the following to
keep the innovation wheel spinning:
1. An
Apple iPad Mini, to counter the growing
threat of the 7” Amazon Kindle Fire, now
recently updated with a new HD Version as reported in “Amazon
assaults iPad turf with high-end Kindle Fire HD”, published September 6,
2012 1:36 PM PDT, by Jay Greene, CNET News
2. An
Apple Television Set in a strong play for
the Television market that its enemy Samsung holds so dear.
3.
Apple
needs to make more Consumer Electronics Products e.g. Car, Blenders,
Refrigerators licensed to use iOS 6.0 and re-engineered to Apple’s Design Specifications to increase
their revenue base and Brand Appeal. This to counter the growing threat of
Google Android, which has ambitions to be the OS for ever Consumer Electronics
Device as stated in my Geezam blog article
entitled “Apple’s
Revolution: Android @ Home and IceCream Sandwich in 2015AD”.
That
was the past. Now with the event to be held at the Yerba Buena Center for the
Arts at 10am Eastern on Wednesday September 12th 2012AD looming as
large as the Apple invitation, this victory
should be inspiration to the invitees to prove yet again that they are the true
innovators in a world that appears not to respect Apple’s Patents and has become Lawless (2012).

Howdy this is somewhat of off topic but I was wondering if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or
if you have to manually code with HTML. I'm starting a blog soon but have no coding experience so I wanted to get advice from someone with experience. Any help would be enormously appreciated!
