The software company is reportedly considering using an OLED display for its next iPhone in line.
Recently a report was released by a Korean newspaper in which Apple Inc is reportedly believed to be thinking of putting up OLED displays in its smart Apple Watch, and these displays will be coming from none other than Samsung. The news report also suggests that it is probable that the giant also thinks of incorporating this new technology to the upcoming iPhone 7 as well, which even though is just a rumor which has not been confirmed by the Californian company yet, can bring a lot of positive response from the users according to the analysts’ belief.
The decision coming from Apple regarding the OLED display will not be confirmed till November and analysts have stated that the company is currently analyzing how the new design and technology will work for its users and whether it should opt for it or not. If it does not go for the OLED technology, the company will most probably just stick to the LCDs, which it has already been doing so for some time.
Around two years back in 2013, CEO Tim Cook was seen discussing the potential OLED displays actually had and it looked like he was not a huge fan of the technology and deemed it as very awful, which almost confirmed to the market that the tech giant will not be using this display in any of its gadgets any time soon. However, since that time, there has been considerable progress and improvement in the OLED displaying technology and the previous issues of a bad display with saturation levels highly disastrous to the naked eye have experienced a massive change over the period of time.
Samsung, on the other hand, has recently shown to use the OLED display with quite a lot of its phone and it was most prominent in the Galaxy Note 5, which shows that this idea might not be as bad as it has been considered by Cook. Analysts who are now considering the possibility of Apple business taking up the idea of using these new displays for its upcoming phone seem quite positive. They believe that once the giant takes up the new display for its new phone in the series, this is going to work wonders with the improvement in the display boost for the users and the quality difference will be very apparent and appreciated by the users at large. The software giant is already expected to improve its display for new phone and analysts have suggested for the giant to take up the OLED idea only, instead of the LCD as this will turn out to be much better for the company.
Apple has finally launched the Facebook messenger for its Apple Watch which will enable the users to send and receive voice messages, emojis etc.
Apple has now officially launched Facebook messenger on its Apple Watch. The new Facebook messenger on Apple watch will now allow users to send stickers, voice notes, likes, emojis and much more. Facebook messenger on WatchOS2 was released on Thursday and is supported only by the latest version of IOS software. The updated app is now available for download from the iTunes store.

The messenger on watch will be useful when you have your handset in your bag and you want to reply to a message promptly. For that you can use your Apple watch. You can not answer the messages either by sending stickers, like or select from predetermined answers.
The messenger will also allow the users to send and receive voice messages using a built-in microphone in the watch. Photos can also accessed from the watch. The watch however won’t support animated sticker and GIFs. If you are used they will show as static on the messenger app. The app is handy as users can send and receive messages quickly as they won’t be able to send long messages through the app.
It needs to be seen whether the Facebook messenger app will work well with the watch or not. Facebook messenger can now also be accessed from iPad’s multitasking apps. The messenger contacts and conversations can now also be searched from the screen of users’ iPhones as announced by Apple and Facebook.
So you can now keep yourself updated with your friends and family even without your phone and laptop through the Apple watch Facebook messenger. It needs to be seen when Apple will launch the full version of the much awaited Facebook app which the company had hinted to launch soon back in March 2015. Analysts in the tech industry who have been keeping a track on the giant’s movement on its smart watch are of the opinion that this step of the iPhone makers is a huge step for the social networking giant, as it will help it to get more users on his network. On the other hand, for all its valuable customers which are opting for the smart watch, the tech company has already announced that all the users have to do is to update their OS on the Watch and they will be good to go.
The company has settled down all kinds of issues it has had with rival, Google, in order to work together in the tech world.
Microsoft news revolves around how the software giant has settled down all kinds of lawsuit issues it had with rival search engine giant, Google Inc. Both the companies have come around to settle down a deal in in which they will both have decided to overlook the patent dispute that has been consuming both the giants and by working out a deal, they have come to the conclusion of making things better for each other as far as tech business is concerned.
All such patents issues, which have been dismissed, were about smart phones, technology for Wi-Fi and for different video games, which were raised by both the companies not only in the United States but also in the German region.
The details of the latest deal have not yet been given to the press but software giant informed the industry of the developments that took place while Google did the same. This patent war had started back in 2010 and after five years, both businesses thought better of carrying it forward and have decided to bury the hatchet to progress further in the tech world, in an improved manner.
Most of the patents that were problematic for the companies were related to the Motorola Mobility department, which was once a part of the search engine giant. In a press conference that was held jointly by both Microsoft software business and the Android owners, it was seen that the companies ended all issues and have decided to turn things around by collaborating on further projects for supporting progress in the technology and software industry.
In all the patents, the one that became much of a problem for search engine company was when the Windows owners filed a complaint that the rival was using its rights for it Motorola subsidiary that it used in its Xbox. The war went on for two years and subsided when the giant ended up receiving a massive $14.5 million to make up for all the damage that was done by the organization.
Not only this, but Microsoft business also ended up working against the sales of Motorola phones as it claimed that the smart phones used one of its very own technology called the Active Sync option it provided in its own Android phones. These issues have been continuing since then but the latest press conference shows that the companies have settled down the dispute to work together for their customers.
The software giant has rolled out a new reporting style for the next quarter of the company to be reported on October 22, 2015.
Microsoft Corporation has recently released a report in which it has discussed some new ideas that it is thinking of adopting to bring about some changes in the way it reports financial quarter’s news to the market. The tech company announced its new ideas to the press in which it focused on making changes to the way things are conveyed to the investors and shareholders. The plan is to make sure that all the relevant stock and financial news that is to be reported to the public is done in such a manner that more preference is given to the ‘mobile first, cloud first’ mantra that the CEO of the firm is seen repeating and working on normally.
On the other hand, Microsoft software informed that the financial reporting that will be done by the company in every quarter will give all of its focus on three main departments, including cloud, personal computing and productivity. The software giant is all set to release its earnings report for the first quarter of the fiscal year on October 22, 2015 and will be constructing the report in accordance with the focus on three important departments mentioned above. Since the giant has decided to change the way things are reported to the industry, it has also decided to add the gross margin and revenue digits to the report that will be reported for the first time in a different style. Also, this change will take place only for one quarter and will not follow for the rest.
Following the last session of trade that was carried out by Microsoft stock, it was seen that the share value experienced a dip by 1.48 percent, which is a threatening downfall to be considered, bringing the share price to $43.29. The stock of the tech and software giant has scored the highest position on the index with a share price of $50.05 whereas the lowest that was touched by the same stock was at $39.72.
Analysts in the tech industry have been looking at the Microsoft shares closely and have come around to have multiple opinions about the activities of the giant business firm. The company has been presented with a ‘buy’ rating by analysts from Piper Jaffray and it also looks like the analyst has an overly bullish outlook on the giant considering the $53 target price that was given to it in a research note. This target also shows that the firm is currently below on the index by 22.4 percent.
The tech company's step into the automotive industry is expected to bring in some challenges for the giant before the actual launch takes place in 2019.
Recent news suggests that the fact that Apple is working on an electric vehicle should not bother other giants in the EV industry as the software firm could be facing some serious problems and challenges before the launch that a lot of people might be overlooking. Even though the date that has been set for the release of the car is due in 2019, analysts are seen talking about how this does not seem to be an easy journey for the company to take. One thing that the software giant could be ignoring is the fact that because it has had a successful business in the tech industry, it does not guarantee a progressive business even in the automotive industry.
Since this is also the first step Apple business is taking into the auto industry, it could very well be a shaken one. The Californian Company has reportedly been one of the most high sales scoring giants in the industry but analysts believe that this does determine downright success in the auto business, as company like Porsche are also seen struggling with their yearly revenue, where reports discuss how the iPhone maker seems to be earning more than the famous car company, which is something to keep in mind as to how much the tech company can actually earn through the car business.
On the other hand, Apple software firm has also conveyed it to the press a couple of times that the company has a massive revenue generation that is sure to help it see through all the problems or losses that could be faced in the future. Analysts, who are looking at the current situation of the company from all angles, are not of the same opinion.
Even though the car producing business demands for more man power and more investments, it is believed to not give back in the same way. Reports have shown that the margin on profit that the auto companies receive is much lower than what the tech companies, especially Apple, is earning in the current situation which is being taken as a point that could disappoint investors in the long run. The software giant currently enjoys a colossal operating profit at around 28 percent which is a figure to be reckoned with, while on the other hand, Porsche earns around 16 percent profit which almost half of the value.
Analysts are also talking about how Apple tech company might be facing some challenges where the government rules and laws are concerned, as the giant has not faced strong regulations before, which every other auto maker has to face in the industry.
The software giant has been offered by Foxconn to take over Sharp, which might be considered by the company for its own benefit in the long run.
The most recent news about Apple is about how Foxconn has made an offer to the software giant regarding making a huge buy of Sharp, which has been struggling in the stock market for some time. According to a report by Nikkei business, it was seen that Foxconn has shown interest in taking over the popular LCD business but has come around to have little capital for it.
Therefore, through an offer made to the iPhone makers, the company is making an effort to take over the business with shared capital from the tech giant. Now analysts are talking about why the tech company would want to accept the deal in the first place, and the only reason that seems to make sense is that it also uses the LCD displaying for its own gadgets, which is why it might think about accepting the deal.
The LCD business that both Foxconn and Apple business could think about buying has been going through a tough time regarding the money for a long time. Analysts believe that the iPod maker has many reasons as to why they should help the company to get back in its place. If it did not, the tech giant will have to suffer in the long run, as then it would have to look for other companies and suppliers to get the best LCD possible for the gadgets.
In 2012, when Sharp began to struggle, there were many analysts in the market, which suggested the software giant to take over the business. The firm, however, did not oblige and went its own way by not investing in the business that provided it LCDs.
Analysts now believe that Apple software giant is not in a position to let Sharp fall completely and it is likely that it might end up signing the deal with Foxconn anyway. Taking a closer look at the whole prospective of the iPod makers buying the firm, analysts have come to the conclusion that if Sharp regains its position in the market, it is positively going to affect all the companies related to it, including Apple and Foxconn in a massive way.
As per the analysis of financial executives in the industry, it is being said that Apple stock might be in a good position to accept the deal. Even though all of its revenue generation is later on spent in international ventures, it is possible that the firm sees the potential in the deal that all the analysts seem to be discussing.
The software giant believes that the CEO that Nintendo has chosen for itself can also be quite suitable for Microsoft as well.
Recent Microsoft news discusses the statement of Phil Spencer, who works for Google Inc. as the Head of the Division assigned for Xbox, in which he said on the social media how Nintendo’s newly elected CEO is actually a great executive to be working for the search engine giant firm instead.
Nintendo Co. has been facing a lot of struggle in the gaming industry, which was due to the sudden death of the CEO who held the firm together prior to the whole incident. The firm went down on a colossal level when the death took place and since then, the gaming industry has been busy making predictions and speculations as to who will now receive the offer to become the next chief executive officer of the tech giant.
Questions were seen regarding the upcoming CEO that he would face circulating the market, as to how many challenges he would overcome and be able to take the business forward as Iwata did. As per the news report, Nintendo gaming company ended up hiring Tatsumi Kimishima in the end, which created quite a positive stir in the industry where everyone talked about how the man deserved to receive such a high position in the company as he was one of the kind that would be able to take hold of the responsibility well.
Analysts in the market also showed that the company seems to be on the right track towards success, and that now the bad time for the company might as well just end. The new CEO has also served Nintendo’s American division as the president of the firm, which also shows that the executive is capable of working his way upwards along with the firm, which is currently needed desperately for the gaming giant.
As for all the other rivals in the gaming industry, one company came in the front to discuss the potential that this step of Nintendo could turn out. Microsoft Xbox Head Phil Spencer showed his approval for gaming company and agreed to the decision, which was made by the company. He conveyed his message through a couple of tweets in made on the social media site and said that he believes in the kind of leadership that Kimishima is capable of carrying out and also showed how this is going to turn out quite positively for the success of the rival. In another tweet, the executive of the tech company also exclaimed how he could also be the best choice to become Microsoft’s CEO as well.

The traditional connection devices have now a new touch to them which shows that the software giant wishes to bring about changes in the gadget that have been much waited for. On the other hand, the router has a unique shape which is more like a cylinder than the usual rectangular box. The usual routers also have a number of tiny lights on the surface that keeps on blinking showing signs of connectivity and non-connectivity. However, the OnHub router is a little different as no lights have been provided on the new design.This new router device is going to be a little more pricey than usual and will be made available for sale in $199.

The search engine giant is looking for ways to invest in more energy projects and analysts believe it could be considering investing in a project based in Africa.
Google Inc has lately been thinking about starting a project in Africa which involves the wind powering, as reported by a news article published by CNBC on May 12, 2015. Africa, being a continent that has been witnessing exponential growth over the period of time, is still reportedly facing issues where electricity is concerned. The search engine giant is planning to expand the already working projects working in the region in order to produce more electricity.On the other hand, Lake Turkana Wind Power project is being worked upon a massive 40,000 acres and is valued up to around $700 million and the electricity power that it has been designed to create has come around 310 megawatts. If everything goes according to plan, the electricity capacity of Kenya is predicted to grow by a massive 20 percent.However, sources to have proper knowledge of the activities and plans of Google are of the opinion that the tech giant taking part in the project has not been confirmed yet. If it plans to involve itself in the energy production, the stakes that it is expected to have are not too much anyway. CNBC, on the other hand, was seen to try get in contact with the search engine in answer to which they were told by the representatives of the firm that the company is yet not involved in any such project and no deal has been signed in LTWP. It was also recorded that the firm has not agreed on anything yet with the other party.Analysts, however, believe that keeping in mind the previous activities of Google business where it has been seen to get itself associated with different energy projects shows that this is another project that the firm could be thinking. The Silicon Valley-based company has been working towards eradicating energy issues for quite some time now and by getting involved in the African project, it could help in solving electricity problems even in the region.Google has reportedly been looking for new significant projects to invest in, and these projects have not been limited to only in the United States as the firm is ready to accept new ventures in other countries as well. In South Africa, the tech giant signed up for Jasper Power Project two years back in a deal worth $12 million. The software company has also said in a press release that is working towards providing more and more energy to the people which will help the energy to become easily available for the customers as well as for the firm as well.
