In 2011, Apple Inc. became the most valuable company in the world. The same year the company lost Steve Jobs, its founder, visionary, and leader. Anyway, 2011 was all about Apple in the world. Indeed, January marked the first time the company surpassed a $300 billion market cap. Also in January, the Mac App Store opened for business, phase three of Apple’s plan to kill off the optical disc. Apple’s First Quarter earnings were the best ever for the company, with $26.7 Billion in revenue, $6 Billion in profit on 7.33 Million iPads and 16.24 Million iPhones sold. In the second quarter Apple earnings were a blow-out again with $24.67 billion in revenue on 18.65 million iPhones, 4.69 million iPads, and 3.76 million Macs sold. Apple’s quarter was so good that they actually surpassed Microsoft in terms of profitability, something which hadn’t happened in a couple decades. Apple destroyed earnings estimates once again in quarter three with record revenues, profits, iPhone (over 20 million), and iPad sales. As a result, Apple shot past $400 a share on the stock market. By late July, Apple had more cash (and cash equivalents) on its books than the U.S. government. (more…)

The iPod touch 4 gen of 2011 is identical to the iPod touch 4 gen FaceTime in everything but colors. It is available in two colors: black and white. The entry level price was also a bit lower. The device continues the same more-than-a player but less-than-a-phone line. It was released in pair with the iPhone 4 and shares an Apple A4 chip, a 3.5″ “Retina” screen (960 x 640, 326 ppi, not IPS) and an integrated cam for making video calls via FaceTime. But it lacks a 3G/EDGE module, and consequently, A-GPS and digital compass. The iPod touch 4th gen supports some sweet features like iCloud, iMessage, iMovie editing. As to hardware, the device has a 3-axis gyroscope, an in-built speaker and an in-built mike as well as a front VGA camera for video calls. The rear 0.70-megapixel camera with no flash is capable of recording 720p video. The battery life was enhanced up to 40 hours of music playback and 7 hours of video playback. The iPod touch 4th generation is available in three capacities: 8, 32 and 64 GB. (more…)
The iPhone 4s is the fifth generation of Apple’s smartphone. While no differences to the phone’s external characteristics were made, this version of the iPhone released a year later after its very successful predecessor introduced a few changes to the 4s version compared to the iPhone 4, including increased battery life, extended wireless connectivity and a more powerful dualcore processor. The 4S model hosted major internal upgrades, including an upgrade to the Apple A5 chipset, and an 8-megapixel camera with 1080p video recording. (more…)
The iPad 2nd Generation wasn’t as thick as the iPad 1. In fact it was 15% lighter and 33% thinner than the predecessor. The new device had faster processor. Its front-facing VGA and 720p rear-facing cameras were designed for FaceTime videophone calling. Just like the original iPad, the iPad 2 is a tablet computer designed for browsing the web, taking photos, reading and sending e-mail, watching videos, listening to music, playing games and much more.
