HISTORY OF THE APPLE

Apple Inc., formerly Apple Computer, Inc., is a multinational corporation that creates
consumer electronics, personal computers, computer software, and commercial
servers, and is a digital distributor of media content. The company also has a chain
of retail stores known as Apple Stores. Apple's core product lines are the iPhone
smart phone, iPad tablet computer, iPod portable media players, and Macintosh
computer line. Founders Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak created Apple Computer on
April 1, 1976,[1] and incorporated the company on January 3, 1977,[2] in Cupertino,
California.

For more than three decades, Apple Computer was predominantly a manufacturer of
personal computers, including the Apple II, Macintosh, and Power Mac lines, but it
faced rocky sales and low market share during the 1990s. Jobs, who had been
ousted from the company in 1985, returned to Apple in 1996 after his company
NeXT was bought by Apple.[3] The following year he became the company's interim
CEO,[4] which later became permanent.[5] Jobs subsequently instilled a new
corporate philosophy of recognizable products and simple design, starting with the
original iMac in 1998.

With the introduction of the successful iPod music player in 2001 and iTunes Music
Store in 2003, Apple established itself as a leader in the consumer electronics and
media sales industries, leading it to drop "Computer" from the company's name in
2007. The company is now also known for its iOS range of smart phone, media
player, and tablet computer products that began with the iPhone, followed by the
iPod Touch and then iPad. As of 2012, Apple is the largest publicly traded
corporation in the world by market capitalization, with an estimated value of
US$626 billion as of September 2012.[6][7] Apple Inc's market cap is larger than
that of Google and Microsoft combined.[8][9] Apple's worldwide annual revenue in
2010 totaled US$65 billion, growing to US$127.8 billion in 2011[10] and $156 billion
in 2012.[11]

MAC BOOK
The first generation MacBook Pro appeared externally similar to
the PowerBook G4, but used the Intel Core processors instead of
PowerPC G4 chips. The 15-inch model was released in January
2006, a 17-inch model in April, both of which received several
updates and Core 2 Duo processors later in the year.
The second model, known as the "unibody" model, has a more
tapered design and a casing made from a single block of
aluminum. It debuted in October 2008 as the 15-inch MacBook Pro
and the 13-inch aluminum unibody MacBook. The following
January brought the design to the 17-inch model, along with the
built-in battery that joined the rest of the MacBook Pro line in June,
including the 13-inch model which Apple absorbed into the
MacBook Pro line. Subsequent updates brought upgraded Intel
Core i5 and i7 processors and introduced Intel's Thunderbolt
technology.

Apple released the third generation of MacBook Pro in June 2012


with a 15-inch screen. At the same time, slightly updated versions
of the previous generation 13- and 15-inch unibody models were
announced and sold in parallel, and the 17-inch variant was
discontinued. While dimensionally smaller than its predecessor,
the similarly styled third generation model retained a unibody
design. The most substantial differences in the third generation
MacBook Pro are the fitting of a significantly higher resolution
Retina display, the elimination of the optical drive, and
replacement of hard disk drives with solid-state drives. A 13-inch
third generation MacBook Pro was released in October 2012.

FUNCTION.
In Apples first push into the payments game, the iPhone 6 is equipped
with Apple Pay and a Near Field Communication (NFC) antenna that
allows you to tap your phone against a sensor to make payments.
Credit cards from participating companiesVisa, Mastercard and
American Expresscan be linked to your phones Passbook. Several
merchants, like Disney, Chipotle and Seamless, have signed on with
more to come.
On the security front, your card information is encrypted, and each
transaction has a one-time payment number. So if you lose your phone,
you can simply cancel its payments as opposed to the card itself. Apple
also emphasized that neither the retailer nor Apple will know what you
purchased, where you purchased it, or how much you paid.
The iPhone 6s battery life is roughly comparable to that of the iPhone
5: it features 10 more hours of audio, and four more hours of 3G talk.
Both have standby battery lives of 10 days.
The iPhone 6 Plus, however, offers the best battery life of any iPhone to
date. It has 80 hours of audio and 24 hours of 3G talk, and its standby
battery life is 16 days.
The iPhone 6 has an air pressure sensor to tell you how high up you are.
That will help it better record your fitness activity in that running a mile
uphill will be adjusted to count more than running a mile on flat ground.
This fitness data can be stored, accessed and analyzed in the iPhones
new built-in Health app, a hub to record your health data and link thirdparty apps that also track your movements.

REASONS WHY I CHOOSE


IPHONE 6

1. The iPhone 6 stands toe to toe with the best of 2014 and it does so
with aplomb. In design, performance, camera and battery it does more
than pass. Where other devices might have one standout feature and
other serious failings elsewhere, the iPhone 6 is competent across the
board with several standout features.
2. The popularity of the iPhone 6 means that accessory manufacturers
are constantly scrambling to ride Apples coattails. Other devices and
manufacturers simply dont have the same breadth of accessories to
support their devices. From the BuQu PowerArmour case to the Olloclip

(although a Samsung Galaxy version has just been released) The


iPhone 6 accessory market far outtstrips any other newly released
handset. There are simply far more ways to customise and protect your
iPhone than any other handset.
3. The quality of any camera on a smartphone is open to much debate,
and labelling a single one as the best is a serious cause of contention.
But thats exactly what lens and camera experts DxO Labs did back in
September, naming the iPhone 6 camera as the king of the
competition.
4. The iPhone 6 camera got the highest ever smartphone camera score of
82 in its tests, which included; exposure, colour rendering, autofocus in
both low and bright light conditions, detail preservation and the
performance of the flash. All of which it came out on top and proved
that its not all about the megapixels. However, its worth noting that
the Sony Xperia Z3 and Galaxy S5 were close behind with scores of 79.
