subject: Apples Steps For Coming Future [print this page] Apple Inc. held its Worldwide Developers Conference in early June and passed the details on iOS 6. It is expected that the new iOS will be introduced with newer iPhone this year. iOS 6 will have 200 new features but some of them are already available on other platforms while others are not very big. On the other hand, a few are really outstanding. The most notable feature is a replay-later option. This feature is good for those calls that you do not want to or cannot take immediately. Newer platform will also come with integrated Facebook that offers a seamless sharing of all your activities. It will also come with a Passbook app turning the phone into a credit card. The company has also introduced its own app for maps. New features will help mobile application developers to add new dimensions to iOS software development.
The biggest announcement of current time by Apple Inc. is Macbook Pro with Retina Display. In the same conference the company also offered details on Mountain Lion that will inch the Mac operating system and iOS together. It is attempting to blur the lines that separate laptops and tablets/smartphone. This step is similar to Microsofts plan for Windows Phone 8. The approach is to merge the two, but the company needs to do it as quickly as possible.
The announcements made by Apple during Worldwide Developers Conference symbolize numerous additive additions. These additions have been introduced by it to keep its product line at the innovative edge in the mobile world. Many consider it a marketing-approach that turns the brand exclusive. So believing on it that users of platforms like Android or Microsoft will ditch their devices for a newer iPhone is just a thought.
The company has its own plus-points to keep the users at its camp, and most of those plus-points have not been surpassed by any platforms, even Android.
Googles Jelly bean will soon out, and Microsoft will also launch its Windows Phone 8 operating systems in coming weeks. So this time, much of Apple depends on how enticing iPhone 5 will come along against Android and Windows Phone 8.
Many iPhone users are patiently waiting for an iOS version that is truly made for high speed LTE networks, and even software upgrade that will provide more power to apps. But Apple Inc. is currently not a winner. Google has overshadowed its most achievements that the company quickly earned through iPhone. And many iPhone users do not feel better when they constantly hear that Android now powers more than 60% smartphones across the world.
