How Apple plans to dent reality in the next 12 months
Summary
Apple updates hardware, software, and services every year and has never been too afraid to cannibalize an existing product range to make way for the new — the iPhone ate the iPod, after all. We knew this already, of course, but any business considering implementing employee-choice schemes or introducing/extending support for iPads/Macs can now (if they didn’t already) see a clear road map for product development stretching out years ahead. Apple has proved its commitment to regular security and software updates while the market for enterprise supporting products and services continues to expand. The green slides Apple produces during its looming product presentations should be looked at deeply for what they reveal around process innovation, use of recycled materials and more. If that’s the case, this could conceivably offer up more visual elements such as album art and an on-device music selection system, but it’s not too huge a stretch to imagine support for relevant home-focused apps and widgets.
