Apple: The iPad Air 3 may not launch this year afterall
Either way, it’s not just the iPad that’s slipping: the whole tablet market has been moving backwards.
“We rate APPLE INC (AAPL) a BUY”.
Some of these people were also invited at an Apple sales conference which occurred in Huntington Beach, March this year, but this event is known to be closed to the general public.
Apple reviews its partners’ apps and offers detailed suggestions, down to which words should be shaded in gray, according to meeting participants.
As expected, Apple’s new partner program is shrouded in secrecy. Even some of the associates are unsure how the alliance would work and are not familiar with the identities of the other members. The project has been internally referred to as the mobility partner program (MPP). If we consider these reports right. The rumored device would be targeted towards business customers. Will Apple be able to sell its tablets to corporations as a productivity tool? Apple is reportedly working on producing app bundles targeted to specific industries.
The corporate-computing path isn’t without risks.
Hopefully too, Apple will ditch the 16GB for a 32GB base model, which would be more practical given that apps and the OS are all putting on storage weight and show no signs of going on a diet. Apple doesn’t have the same culture or extensive sales networks of workplace-technology incumbents.
This initiative comes as the company has been facing declining iPad sales.
Business sales have been a bright spot in the sagging tablet market. Forrester has predicted that, by 2018, 20% of global tablet use will come from the enterprise.
However, the report goes on to suggest that Apple is “ready to release” its fourth-generation iPad Mini. It launches for $3.99 on the App Store.
The companies will receive help from Apple’s designers to make sure the apps function and potentially advertise them to businesses. The suite includes apps for point-of-sale terminals, sale presentations, accounting, and more. That’s been the regular schedule for the past few years, and there’s little reason to expect Apple’s product cycles to change anytime soon.
One of the downsides to the Nexus 9 is just how hot the tablet can get when holding it in the hands when playing a game.
“I was really impressed with the whole experience”, said Mr. Kapil.
Apple designs, manufactures, and markets mobile communication and media devices, personal computers, watches, and portable digital music players worldwide. A partnership with IBM doesn’t sound that bad eventually but it’s rather peculiar that they are forcing their way so hard into business consumer’s eyes.
