Predictability vs Innovation

Image
Ok so remember when Apple keynotes were all about screaming and shouting? Remember when Steve Jobs said "this is the iPod Nano" and you would hear the awe in the room plus your own? I do (at least in my case i was a part of that awe). I believe this last March 21st keynote was not that type of keynote. It was not the awe of when the iPhone was announced for the first time: "an iPod, a Phone and a breakthrough internet communicator" It was not like the great applause moment when Swift was announced (I am not a developer but i do know enough about app developing to understand the awe in the room). Or like the happiness of when iOS 5 made iOS devices PC free... So many moments when whooping and applause was the common denominator of the crowds at Apple Keynotes and unfortunately people started getting used to the fact that whooping meant innovation and not whooping meant predictability. Last March 21st people started criticizing the fact that the Apple Watch band...

"I'll Be Back!"

Image
SO.... I'm back ladies and gentlemen! I cannot believe that since last year so many rumours have finally come about and some have left. Apple Car o whatever you wanna call it is being stopped as the project manager "seemingly left the company". Android wear for iPhone might open up AppleWatch for android devices and biggest and most importantly: THE IPHONE 5 WILL BE BACK!!!!! Let me explain why out of all the rumours This is the one I am most excited about. Apple started out by changing the computer industry, then changed the music industry with the iPod and the iTunes store; it is in this moment of history when I come into the apple addiction: my first time OWNING an apple made device was an iPod nano (2gigs black) the idea of ONE THOUSAND SONGS IN MY POCKET blew my mind at a pencil thin technological redesign of the iPod Mini. I would not change that iPod until the 3rd nano gen due to the amazing square redesign and video capabilities. Now don't get me wro...

2015 Year's End Thoughts

Image
I want to wish everyone a great upcoming year 2016. On my side of the world the new year is about 5 hours away and i know many of you have already gotten into 2016 so i hope it was awesome. December seems to have become a more personal post kind of month so, i will finish this years blog posts with a final thought on that same personal tone: One very wise man i knew told me that life is as amazing as you let it be, because the present is exactly that: a gift. On that note i want to thank 2015 for a great lot of lessons, some happier than others but all in all i believe it is about what you get out of them what truly matters; after all the past is done and the future unknown. I consider myself a passionate person and I have always said that if you are born a musician you die a musician... Same applies for many passionate arts and their artists, but i can only speak from experience and music is what i love and cannot live without.  First passion: I studied and lived around...

And so it is Christmas...

So I was writing and researching about one of my upcoming posts about the Apple TV (which by the way is going to be named "A revolution worth waiting for") and realised the year is about to end so i decided to put that on hold and let you guys know a bit of thoughts about this year in general, not just apple which I know we all know and love haha. So here go my thoughts just like on the first post about everything and anything hoping you find something to relate to on the tech part or on the more personal part: First some more tech and science oriented news i would like to share with you guys about this year in summary: THANK YOU to all the people who have read my blog which started this year and hopefully will go on for a long time, i hope i have been able to make you agree or disagree with my thoughts on one of my great passions: Apple 2015 innovation summary  i hope you have heard of these innovations, if not take a quick look, they really are great breakthro...

The Orchestra

No...  That has been the answer so far and it seems that it will remain this way as it is Apple's vision and belief (which is and has been working just fine) up until today. MacBooks and iPads will NOT merge like Microsofts Surface Book which came out recently. You see... it's not like there isn't a target market for this kind of product, UK Business Insider mag published that an expectation of 50 to 100 thousand units can be expected to be sold in the fourth quarter of 2015 for Microsoft. The real fact is that Apple truly believes in the strength in the gap between tablets and computer and smartphones; not just for profit but specially with the digital environment that these products entail. Bringing these products together means you would have to fuse iOS and OSX which is a BIG mistake. Don't believe me? Ask ANY iPad Pro user in the last weeks if they believe that the iPad Pro could replace their MacBook? The answer is NO, not because it lacks processing ...

Catch Me If You Can: the iPhone

Image
Buying a new Apple product is an experience that every Apple lover will explain in different ways but with one thing in common: adrenaline and love all at the same time. Then booting the product up is all about awe. And even though many will criticise me about this: I actually appreciate that Apple does not launch its products all year round (like samsung). And now, as the year ends, Apple's new line up makes it a merry and jolly and amazing christmas (yeah i said it...). Now to what the title states: Just on the first weekend that any new iPhone is launched in any part of the world Millions of people line up and enjoy true technological breakthroughs on a yearly basis. It is True that replaceability is one of the key aspects that makes Apple one of the strongest tech giants there is... But you can also choose to see the glass half full and realise that "replaceability" for Apple is a synonym for Innovation; that is the strength that makes a product like iPhone the base...

The watch enigma part 2

Image
13 million iPhone 6s and 6s Plus in just ONE WEEK-END! Whoever thought the iPhone-fever was going to be affected in any way shape or form could not be more off...  Put in a more direct way by WatchAware  the watch is a different chapter in Apple's ecosystem of technological interconnected high-end technologies. Now having gotten that off my chest, I want you guys to know one thing and one thing for sure: I want to Eco a very important opinion about the watch: this is a first gen product. It has its flaws both in software and hardware. The software started off completely based on the iPhone, it has a large limitation of not taking an advantage of a store for third party or developer watch faces. The hardware has been proven to be thicker than it could be, and even that its processor could be much faster. Now, don't get me wrong, this still is the best smart watch in the market. What I do want to get across is the fact that some people buy the Apple Watch expecting it to ...
