Here’s what we know for sure ( so far) -- Apple will be holding an event on September 9th Wednesday at the Civic Auditorium (which has a 7,000 seat capacity) located in the city of San Francisco, California. The invitations that were sent out featured a statement that teases: “Hey Siri, give us a hint.” Oh, and the whole event will be streamed live.
It happens eventually to any product. After a few years surge of phenomenal popularity, the hype eventually dies down, while consumers start to explore other alternatives to that product, or something new, better, or just different. The same applies to smartphones, even Apple's iPhone, perhaps the most culturally significant and influential (technologically speaking) smartphone of all time.
For almost a decade now, Apple has been warning mobile users not to mess with the security settings of their iPhone devices, such as letting their smartphones work in foreign countries or install mobile apps that were not approved by Apple. This practice is known as jailbreaking, with many a mobile user having done it (or somebody else) at least once with the belief that it is harmless. Apple, of course, believes that jailbreaking makes the user’s iPhone vulnerable to hackers.
Apart from unveiling its latest iPhone models, Apple will also be introducing its newest iPad offerings during its upcoming annual event happening on September 9th of this year. This means that roughly a week from now, we can expect to finally see the company’s iPad Pro (and possibly the new iPad Mini 4, as well) be officially introduced to the world.
This year, for the first time, Samsung will be launching a new smartwatch while another wearable device from its fierce rival, Apple, is already out in the market. The South Korean tech giant is expected by many to introduce its new Gear S2 smartwatch this week. Its newest wearable device offering will feature a round screen (its predecessor featured a rectangular watch face) and will run on Tizen, Samsung’s own mobile operating system.
Verizon Wireless is introducing a new policy that should entice more customers from other rival wireless carriers to shift to Verizon by virtue of being allowed to bring their own handsets to the Big Red.
Apple is expected to unveil its next iPhone model in September of this year, and since 2015 is an S year (a year in which the company releases an iPhone S model), we will likely see a new smartphone that basically retains the same design as last year’s iPhone 6, but with new enhancements in interior components and even software features.
It appears that music subscription services such as the recently launched Apple Music and Spotify will not slow down the growth of ad based music streaming services (sometimes referred to as freemium music streaming services), at least according to data collected by Juniper Research.
Apple just published figures pertaining to the growth of its App Store, and the numbers are pretty impressive. The iPhone maker revealed that it had its biggest volume of transacting customers with more than $1.7 billion in billings during the month of July this year. The company also added that it set new records for the Chinese market, too, which made up the biggest percentage of transacting customers.
