How fast time flies. Another year is about to pass, and no doubt people are now looking forward to the next year while at the same time wondering what is next. As for Apple’s legion of fans, the question for them is: what can they hope to expect from the tech giant in 2016? Is it gonna be sort of the same old, same old? Or is the iPhone maker cooking up something new for next year? Here is what we know so far.
Samsung has decided to take its patent case against fierce rival Apple to the United States Supreme Court. Now, it is up to America’s justices to settle the long standing on court battle between two of the biggest mobile giants in the world right now regarding patents -- that is, if the Supreme Court will consider the case in the first place.
2015 was a particularly impressive and busy year for Apple. Indeed, the last twelve months have seen the iPhone maker take some risks in launching entirely new products or introducing new services. Before, people either think of Apple as iPhones, iPads, iPods, and Macs -- but in 2015, Apple began offering its first ever wearable device, a music streaming subscription service, an updated TV streaming box, and a new tablet device for workplace settings.
Two of the biggest mobile players in the world right now, Samsung and Apple, have finally settled on the amount of money to be paid by Samsung for damages in a patent case that has been going on for several years now. However, the legal battle rages on.
Drug store giant Walgreens has just revealed that it is planning to seamlessly integrate Apple Pay, the mobile payment system developed and launched by Apple in October of last year, into its own loyalty program.
Microsoft had announced earlier that Cortana, its personal assistant (the company’s answer to Apple’s Siri and Google Now), would try to go head to head with the competition by offering cross platform support, including via both Android and iOS.
In terms of smartphone shipments across the globe, the third quarter of 2015 did really, really well, no doubt helped immensely by the worldwide release of Apple’s newest iPhone models (the iPhone 6s and the iPhone 6s Plus), and strong sales from Chinese made smartphones, especially those built by Huawei.
When Apple first released iOS 9, the latest version of its iOS mobile operating system, a month ago, its adoption rate enjoyed an initial spike, but has since steadied recently.
A few days after finally getting its waiver approved by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), AT&T has officially launched its Wi-Fi Calling feature on Apple’s iPhone devices, most especially those of the newer models already updated with iOS 9.
Old iPhones have always enjoyed good resales through the years. But it appears that in the near future, resale figures for previous iPhone models may even improve. The reason: more mobile users nowadays are looking to upgrade their iPhones earlier than before, as more wireless carriers in the United States veer away from offering traditional two year agreements. The direct result is that the market for resold iPhones will become bigger, spurred by increased demand for used iPhone devices, especially those models that are just a year old.
