MADRID, 5 Oct. (Portaltic / EP) –
Steve Jobs died on October 5, 2011 after four years of fighting against pancreatic cancer. Two years have passed since he left and since then Apple has gone ahead with Tim Cook at the helm, bringing to market two new iPhones and iOS update in July, among many other products that have sold very well. The current CEO of Apple has reminded in a tweet on this day.
been two years these, without Jobs, years in which Apple has remained more or less the line he had followed in his co-founder was at the forefront, investing improved versions of products that had worked and without many experiments. However, despite the company’s ability to get round and innovative products largely either never been characterized by experiments strangers.
Thus, we have seen improved iPhones and Macs, in line with what was expected. Still others have accused the company of lack of innovation and until there are investors who have been nervous. However, at this stage Apple has also taken steps that Jobs did not want to and that worked really well. IPad is the case with the original smaller, 7.9-inch Mini.
Jobs always defended the right format for a tablet is 9.7 inches and the rest fail. However, the iPad mini has been a bestseller and if anything strange happens, you should get a new version with Retina display in the coming months. It has also launched the Apple company IOS updates very ambitious and largely breaking with the previous design which oversaw the co-founder of Apple.
said, is discussed, that the design of iOS 7 with flat textures, vivid colors, was for some time in the head of the “superdiseñador” company, Ive Jonhathan and was not at all taste Jobs. Early versions still have some bugs, but it seems that its aesthetics and new features convince many users. Some 33 percent of iOS devices had already been installed in just 24 when it launched last September 18class=”ladillo”>
In any case, despite some voices speak of lack of innovation despite these small changes from the vision of Jobs, Apple has continued its plan and certainly leave the accounts.
July 23, announced financial results for the third quarter of fiscal year 2013, ended June 29, 2013. The company achieved quarterly sales of 35,300 billion and net quarterly profit of 6,900 million, equivalent to $ 7.47 per share.
These results were compared with sales of 35,000 million and net profit of 8.800 billion or $ 9.32 a share, the same quarter last year. The company’s gross margin was 36.9 percent compared with 42.8 percent in the same quarter of the preceding fiscal year. The 57 percent of Apple’s quarterly sales made outside the USA.
The company sold during that period 31.2 million iPhones, which was a record in June quarter, up from 26 million in the same quarter last year. Apple also sold 14.6 million iPads this quarter, compared with 17 million in the same quarter last year. This quarter the company sold 3.8 million Macs, compared to 4 million in the same quarter last year.
Two months after these results, Apple released the latest iPhone, the 5S-with the same appearance as the 5, but with more power, better camera and more features-and-5C version 5, but with housing of polycarbonate, which were very well received. In its first weekend sold 9 million units of the two terminals together, above analysts’ forecasts, which spoke of about 8 million.
class=”ladillo”>On the other hand, on the anniversary of the death of Steve Jobs, who was his friend and who took over the company when the Apple co-founder retired in August 2011, because of his enfermedas, he recalled in a tweet (https://twitter.com/tim_cook/status/386493665406746625). The current CEO of Apple has said that the anniversary of the death of Steve Jobs would “hike, to reflect on their friendship and all the traces left in the universe.”
