Apple Making Big Mistakes — How Will it Affect iPhone App Developers?

image

Apple has gone through a number of ups and downs during the last three decades. The company has invented the most inspiring products, and it has launched quite a few products doomed to fail right from the start. But the success of the iPhone and iPad catapulted Apple to number one in the tech market. Steve Jobs' unique style of leadership and showmanship was the foundation on which the edifice of Apple's success rested.

But after Jobs' left the company, signs of decay began to appear: this is not to say Apple is not creating good products. The company is easily the best when it comes to creating premium smartphones and tablets.

Apple is focusing its attention on integrating the iPhone with automobiles, according to a recent blog post on 9To5MacThe article said we might see something yet this year. 

It makes sense. iPhones are incredibly powerful and intelligent devices, so why not develop a system where iPhone content is displayed on say, a car mirror, or perhaps receives a video-out signal? 9To5Mac says Apple is working on a system whereby Apple Maps would appear on the car's display (instead of the sort of proprietary GPS systems currently found in cars).

First I must say, I usually type my reviews on my iPad, but today I'm using Siri's dictation simply because I can't take my hands off my beautiful leather cases from Strotter! Strotter has managed to create something I didn't know I needed until now. The iPad introduced the world to a whole new way of computing, obsoleting traditional laptop bags. Manufacturers have been trying to create the perfect tablet case, and I think Strotter may have just done that. First, the bags use the most exquisite, buttery-soft leather I've ever seen, combined with tough nylon where necessary. The lining is a gorgeous red, complementing the black bag beautifully. Finally, the metal hardware is strong and serious.

A few weeks ago I reviewed an amazingly cool 3D golf swing analysis tool for iOS called SwingTIP. Afterward, I managed to get out on the links with a friend for the first time in a long time. Not surprisingly, my scoring was pretty abysmal, so I figured I needed some help. I found two apps you may want to check out, especially if you also have been away from the game for awhile. Tiger Woods: My Swing ($4.99) will show you the spectacularly perfect swing of the master himself along with Tiger's priceless golf insights and other exclusive content.
