Why Iphone still dominates?


You've seen the specs: a 5-inch screen with 441 pixels per inch, 1080p display, a quad-core 1.9GHz processor and a 13-megapixel camera. Feature for feature,Samsung's next-generation Galaxy S4 has the iPhone beat.
But just two days after the S4's launchApple released a webpage explaining why its flagship smartphone is better than the competition.
"There's iPhone. And then there's everything else," the page's headline blares. Apple goes on to cite all the reasons why its phone is "unlike anything else," some of which are listed below:
  • The iPhone has received eight consecutive J.D. Power and Associates awards for customer satisfaction with consumer smartphones.
  • Only the iPhone and other Apple products have Retina display.
  • The iPhone has a long battery life — including up to eight hours of talk time — while maintaining a "thin and light design."
  • The iPhone has "ultrafast" wireless and LTE.
  • Only the iPhone and other Apple products have access to the iTunes Store and the App Store, which offers over 800,000 apps. What's more, they are all reviewed by Apple to protect against malware.
  • Only the iPhone has Siri, the intelligent personal assistant.

iCar-A Steve Job's Dream


Apple's visionary co-founderSteve Jobs' final ambition before he died was to see Apple to dominate the roads with its 'iCars'.
According to a report byBusiness Insider, the co-founder and CEO of the iPhone maker told associates he wanted to create an Apple car.
Jobs also reportedly told theTimes, during a meeting prior to his death, that he wanted to 'take on Detroit.
According to the Daily Mail, longtime Apple board member Mickey Drexler, who is also the CEO of J. Crew, confirmed the report, saying 'Steve's dream before he died was to design an iCar.
Drexler believes the never-realized Apple car could have made a serious impact in the American car market.
Meanwhile, Apple's largest rival Google has already famously put weight behind a self-driving car, the paper said.
The Google driverless car, as it's most often known, has been the subject of countless videos and news articles detailing the likelihood (or unlikelihood) of its success or even feasibility, it added.
