 What You Should Have Known Already.

If you are one of the many individuals who believe that the Apple Watch was designed with the sole intent of making all other Apple products obsolete in nature, you may want to think again. The intent of the Apple Watch is to simply provide an alternative device in terms of weight and accessibility. This specific watch will definitely allow you to make the most of your time, especially with the state-of-the-art smart screen.

The screen of the Apple Watch is available in two different sizes: 38 millimeters and 42 millimeters. As expected, the screen is touch-sensitive, though actual gestures are not supported; however, the Apple Watch screen is able to differentiate between taps and holds thanks to the pressure-sensitive setting that the screen contains.

A digital crown on the watch’s side acts as a form of scrolling up and/or down in order to allow the user to not have to continuously touch the screen. The crown can also work for pressing buttons and zooming in and out of the screen.

APPLE PUT YOUR FAVORITE VOICE COMMAND ASSISTANT ON YOUR COMPUTER

Here's our guide on how to use Siri for the MacBook series in macOS Sierra version 10.12. For our complete guide to using macOS Sierra, head over here.

Siri got another upgrade

Apple's voice-activated virtual assistant Siri got a boost in iOS 10, but it doesn’t stop there. After updating your Mac to the latest version of the new operating system, macOS Sierra, Siri appears automatically on your home dock. You can remove it from the dock if you want, but Siri is fun to use and can actually help you out.

To get Siri to pop up, all you have to do is click the icon on the dock. Siri appears in the top right corner of your screen, asks her usual “What can I help you with?”, and waits for you to say something. If you don’t, Siri provides a list of sample questions that you can ask, as seen above.

Simply speak your request and Siri will tell you what it finds in a menu on the right-hand side of your screen. If you ask it about this publication, for example, it will provide you with this information:

If you ask Siri to play music, it’ll automatically play what you want, so long as it recognizes your speech correctly. I asked it to play “Frank Ocean’s Nikes,” which it picked up as “Frank Ocean’s 90’s” before quickly correcting to Nikes and playing the song for which I asked.

Siri can help you get directions, put dates into your calendar, send emails, search your files and more. Your old voice-recognition buddy moved in and can potentially be a super helpful tool on your laptop or desktop.

Sure, kids can pick up a tablet or smartphone, but the true innovative toys are those that combine high tech and simplicity. The Moff band collaboration with Pac-Man is a perfect example of this. Kids wear the Moff band and swing their arms to play Pac-Man through an app — making them physically active while using a smartphone or tablet.

HERE’S HOW MUCH IT COST APPLE TO MANUFACTURE AN IPHONE 7

iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus has arrived and we may say that it has somewhat lived up to the hype it created before the launch. The same can be evidenced by the sales figures for iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus released by Apple. The new iPhone 7 Plus seeks to revolutionize the smartphone industry with it 3.5 mm headphone jackless feature.

As with previous iPhone versions, there have reports of Apple fanboys queuing up in front of stores for the launch. One such fan reportedly sat in the rain for 18 hours to buy the new iPhone 7. It is not known whether there is any truth in the story or it is a planted one to drive up the iPhone 7 craze among buyers.

A single piece of iPhone 7 is being sold to buyers for $649 for 32GB version. What does it really cost Apple to make one piece of iPhone 7?

According to IHS Markit, the total cost to produce a single iPhone is $224.80 which is incidentally, $36.89 higher that the iPhone 6s. And it is marketed by Apple for$649 for the 32GB version. Which means that Apple is charging you 3 times the manufacturing cost. In some places like China and India the prices is even higher, going up to four times the manufacturing cost.

The IHS Markit report states that the new iPhone 7’s Bill of Materials (BOM), a financial estimate of the raw materials used, was “in line” with flagship smartphones made by rival Samsung but Apple saves a lot more on better margins.

Andrew Rassweiler, senior director of cost benchmarking services at IHS Markit said “All other things being equal, Apple still makes more margin from hardware than Samsung, but materials costs are higher than in the past”

Do remember, the above price is the margin on iPhone 7, Apple may be making more on iPhone 7 Plus as IHS Markit has not done a teardown analysis on it. Add to that, Apple earns handsomely through accessories such chargers, earphones, etc. in addition to its earnings from iTunes store.

No wonder Apple is sitting on a cash pile that is more than GDP of countries like Pakistan, Iran etc.
