Analyst Doesn’t Think 8GB iPhone 5c And Relaunched iPad 4 Will Have Much Impact On Apple’s March/June Quarters

Analyst Doesnt Think 8GB iPhone 5c And Relaunched iPad 4 Will Have Much Impact On Apples March/June QuartersA couple of days ago after some rumors, Apple really did launch the 8GB iPhone 5c and reintroduced the iPad 4 which would be officially replacing the iPad 2 as the lower-cost iPad model. We’re sure many of you guys are wondering if by introducing these products, would it be able to generate sufficient interest to impact Apple’s profit margins?

Well we can only assume that that’s what Apple had in mind, but one analyst by the name of Gene Munster appears to be a little skeptical about Apple’s efforts. Munster admits that these “new” products will have a slight positive benefit for Apple over the next two quarters, but calls it “ultimately irrelevant” for the company’s June quarter. (more…)

    iPad 4 with Retina display reintroduced

    new-ipadminiIt goes without saying that great companies know how to pace themselves, whether it be the rate of expansion or the number and types of products that they roll out to the masses. Well, Apple is definitely a great company in recent times, and despite losing the charismatic and visionary Steve Jobs to the scourge of cancer, CEO Tim Cook has done a pretty good job steering the ship through choppy waters. Apple has made an announcement today concerning the iPad with Retina display that will replace the iPad 2 as the most affordable 9.7-inch iPad at $399 a pop for those who want to pick up the 16GB Wi-Fi model.

    Needless to say, having choices makes perfect sense, and if you happen to have heavier pockets, then hand over $529 to Apple in order to net yourself the Wi-Fi + Cellular model. The fourth generation iPad would come with an amazing 9.7-inch Retina display, an Apple-designed A6X chip underneath the hood, ultrafast Wi-Fi connectivity, a 5MP iSight camera that is also capable of recording 1080p HD video for posterity, a FaceTime HD camera, and support for LTE carriers worldwide, all while delivering up to 10 hours of battery life on average.

    Not only that, this iPad with Retina display will be powered by iOS 7, where it will be accompanied by hundreds of great new features such as Control Center, Notification Center, improved Multitasking, AirDrop, enhanced Photos, Safari, Siri and iTunes Radio.

    Philip Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing, shared, “Now for $399 customers can get iPad with a stunning 9.7-inch Retina display, fast A6X chip, and 5MP iSight camera, offering a dramatic upgrade in power, performance and value compared to the iPad 2 it replaces. The iPad line sets the gold-standard in mobile computing and all iPads have access to the largest and best ecosystem of more than 500,000 iPad optimized apps from the App Store.”

    Supposed iPad 5 cases found in Hong Kong

    Now that the fourth-generation iPad has been around for several months, it’s high time we had some rumors and tips surrounding the generation that’s up next! The iPad 5 case mold that we’re seeing today has been passed on to some case-makers who suggest that this iteration of the tablet will have a 9.7-inch display as it’s had before, but that its body will be slimmer with a smaller bezel – strange, isn’t it?

    ipad-5-case-2013-04-16-3

    With this version of the iPad we’ll once again be seeing the Lightning connector on the bottom of the tablet, a microphone hole up top on the back, and speaker holes on the bottom too. This model has the same display lock, same location for a headphone jack, and same placement of a volume button. It’s as if this version of the iPad hasn’t change at all for the basics. Even the camera appears to be the same size.

    The big differences come in the thinness of the body and the wideness and tallness of the overall tablet design. This leaked mold suggests that Apple might be taking the same approach Sony has taken with their updated design of the Xperia Z with the Xperia XL. Tossing out everything that’s not absolutely essential in the design, here we’ve got a display that will appear much closer to an edge-to-edge situation than in previous tablets.
