Apple! What a company. Their WWDC 2016 started yesterday. Huh? For those of us who will only frequent stores and not attend the Worldwide Developers Conference in 2016, or any other year, we need to look at these events in relation to our products and more importantly, the future revenue streams of the business that are likely to be generated via better products. And services. You can check out all of the updates pending - Apple Special Event. June 13, 2016.
iOS 10 is coming to your iPhone, provided that you are lucky enough to have one. MacOS Sierra is coming, provided you are lucky enough to have a Macbook or a Mac. The Watch operating system gets an upgrade too, making it more useful. The TV operating system also gets a huge update too. All your usernames and passwords don't have to be stuck in all of the time. And then something called Swift, where you can learn code on your iPad. Will the coding encourage you to buy an iPad and get your kids to code like crazy? Everyone can code, they say and everyone can develop an app with Swift. That is pretty cool, not so? Apple Pay, HomeKit, SOS, Unlocking your Mac with your Watch, and so on, these were all pretty well received by the community. Excellent news.
CNET as ever has a cool look at all things Apple - Apple iOS 10: Will it make you love your iPhone again? And then from the Verge - The 13 biggest announcements from Apple WWDC 2016. When is all this available? In a few months, you are going to have to wait until the "fall" in the Northern Hemisphere. Noooooo.
What about the share price? I sent an email to a client about the company, here is an excerpt:
"Sir Jony Ive is still the best technology engineer in the world. He is the guy who designed and MADE the devices that Jobs thought of. I am sure that there are a number of products in the pipeline, including project Titan, the car.
You will recall that Google had a similar funk for a while, people worried about it being a one trick pony.
Of the 536 billion Dollars market cap, 235 billion odd is cash. Or 44 percent of the share price currently. With earnings of close to 8.27 USD a share, ex cash, Apple trades on 5.2 times earnings. Dirt cheap."
That should answer the question that everyone is asking, right?
