I bet you've probably heard from every tech blogger out there that there's been something going on with apple in the last 2 or 3 weeks. Nope it's not something behind closed doors, it's got something to do with their stock. Apple's stock in the last 18 months has been falling slowly and slowly and now in the last 72 hours, they've falled from the most valuable company in the world from having $700 stock to just under $400 and erox mobil is now the most valuable company in the world right now.
I said this about 6 months ago to a year ago that apple could have the same fate that RIM has. Apple were steadily coasting on first place for about 18 months and now they are just second. This has got to be a real kick in the teeth for apple. My uncle seems to think that apple could be bringing out a new product this year. I'm not talking about a iPad. I mean a new revolutionary new product that could change the way we look at the catagory it comes out in.
See apple have been on a 3 year patter:-
2001 - IPOD
2004 - IPOD NANO
2007 - IPHONE
2010 - IPAD
2013 - ?
i'm going to say that they aren't going to bring out a new product. I know there's loads of rumours going round that they'll actually release a IPHONE MINI or an IPHONE with a 4.8inch display. i don't think that apple will fragment their phone again by bringing out a new display again and making all the developers updating their apps to support the new display. There's also rumours that they'll bring out a Smartwatch, although i do like the idea, i don't see apple bringing one out. I know they've just killed the little Ipod Nano with a touch screen display to maybe make way for the smartwatch but honestly i don't think they will.
P.S the thing i was talking about before that's behind closed doors. In the last 18 months, apple have spent a billion pound on research and product and development. so there could be something else in stock for us but i don't think there is. COmment down below and thanks for reading
