They say, "An apple a day, keeps the doctor away". A lot of Apple Inc. costumers believe in this theory but we are obviously not talking about fruit. We're talking about one of the biggest companies on earth that design and retail unbelievable technological products that make our lives easier. This company ranges from high advanced computers, phones, tablets, portable music players, and accessories that make these products more compatible and efficient. Apple products play an enormous roll in the pop culture of our society. If you go to any large city, university campus or to your local coffee shop, you will see that apple products are being used everywhere and by everyone. They have created products that can be vital and useful for everyone who lays a finger on it, worldwide. This past summer, the company launched their new computers and also demonstrated that their products are not only bringing satisfaction to the people who buy these elite products, but that they are helping people worldwide. They filmed individuals from across the world that say that they are thankful that Apple and their application designers create and innovate ways for them to live a better life. We are talking about people who are blind, have autism, want to learn a new language, and people who just want to chat and spark new relationships. With this recognition of Apple's designs, I want to talk about their new plans for the fall. It's something that is so discreet and very, "hush, hush" at the moment. Yes ladies and gentelmen, I am talking about the new iPhone 5.
Earlier this week, the company sent out a notification, notifying the press and media, that they will host a company convention on Sept. 12 2012. It is very common for Apple to do this sort of thing. And every time we hear something like this that is so secretive and so discrete, we're in for a huge surprise. To give you a little background information about the iPhone, it's sales and ratings are out of this world. Technological analysts predict that the new iPhone will sell about 200 million iPhones in the next year. How is this a problem for society, it will bring uproar and demand for these phones and the company will more than likely be late with store demand. In January, China citizens received the opportunity to obtain an iPhone 4s and apple had to close down the stores. Why? The demand was so high and so crazy that people on the streets were getting injured, arrested and even prosecuted. Everyone wanted one. And it wasn't only in China. This sort of behavior was happening in a lot of countries. And obviously, affecting a lot of people. All in the name of a phone. So expect it happening this fall.
Also, Apple has been on top of the food chain when it comes to technology companies. It's out-beating companies like Sony, Dell, HP, Kindle, Google, etc. This is effecting the companies financial state and the people are employed under the company. For example, you walk into Best Buy and you want a tablet, you will automatically envy and want the New iPad. Why? It's lighter, faster, More nice, versatile and overall, it's an Apple product. So jobs under these corporations are failing and will continue to fall under. Why? Obviously Apple Inc. is not stopping and will not have plans to stop in innovating new products. The thing that I also don't get is the corruption that the company has within it's plants. ABC aired a special regarding the plants where they innovate and produce our gadgets. Our nation was overwhelmed and speechless after the "A trip to the iFactory" airing. It showed how young Asian teens were the ones who were in the plants making the products we know and love. They were telling the ABC crew that they felt trapped and not worthy. Some, were falling into the pressure to commit suicide. This could be another topic regarding human rights and inequality. Please watch the report
Overall, Apple deserves two thumbs in the innovation in which it has been producing. Although, it is important to recognize that we could be driving our ohter companies down hill. These companies are still failry new and intuitive. We will just have to see the outcome of their success in times to come. As for Apple, they need to start making ways to be more versitale, worldwide. As a personal owner of an iPhone, iPad and Macbook, I can tell you that their technology is good, beyond words. But are they manipulating us to become Apple hungry? Are they trying to destroy big buissnes not only here in the US, but worldwide? We don't know. For now, let's just see what they will announce on Wednesday at 10am.
