Apple has reportedly green-lit its mammoth project to build an electric car, and hopes to have a new vehicle on the road by 2019.
The company gave the approval for tripling the 600 employees already working on the project to speed up production, according to a new Wall Street Journalreport today, citing multiple unnamed sources.
Apple reportedly has been studying the feasibility of the initiative, dubbed “Project Titan,” for the past year. The WSJ report says Apple does not plan to release a self-driving car, at least not at first. An autonomous vehicle may be part of the company’s long-term plans.
Ante un descenso en las ventas de sus iPad y detectando una apertura en el mundo laboral, Apple Inc. se ha embarcado en su mayor ofensiva hasta la fecha para conquistar el segmento de la computación empresarial.
El gigante de tecnología trabaja con más de 40 empresas del sector, muchas de ellas desarrolladores poco conocidos de aplicaciones para contabilidad o presentaciones de ventas, para aumentar el atractivo del iPad como una herramienta laboral.
A piece of correspondence unearthed by a public records request may provide more evidence that Apple is indeed building a self-driving car.
A report in the Guardian today says that Apple engineers met in May with officials from GoMentum Station, a 2,100-acre former naval base near San Francisco that is now used as a testing ground for autonomous and connected vehicles.
Apple has released its ResearchKit software, which will enable medical and health researchers to tap the power of mobile devices to gather scientific data. The software turns the iPhone into a powerful tool for research.
Apple announced the initiative back in March as a way to expedite research studies. The platform enables medical researchers to easily access the massive amounts of data being collected from health devices and apps by Apple’s HealthKit platform.
La société californienne Apple a annoncé le 9 mars dernier le lancement prochain de son ResearchKit, une plateforme de développement d'applications ouverte (open source framework) entendant faciliter la recherche médicale. Cette annonce porte de nombreuses promesses pour la recherche académique comme l'industrie pharmaceutique, tout en posant néanmoins certaines questions fondamentales.
El gigante de la tecnología Apple planea comenzar la producción de su coche eléctrico en el año 2020, según aseguraron fuentes familiarizadas con el proyecto a medios estadounidenses.
La noticia de la que se hace eco el diario USA Today y que publicó originalmente este jueves la agencia Bloomberg llega después de que el viernes el periódico The Wall Street Journal revelase que Apple tiene a cientos de empleados trabajando en un coche eléctrico.
La empresa ha declinado hacer comentarios sobre el proyecto, que según el Journal se ha bautizado con el nombre de "Titán".
Compañías como Nissan han fijado también el año 2020 para alcanzar ambiciosos proyectos como la comercialización de un vehículo autodirigido.
Mayo Clinic was one of the first big-name health providers Apple tapped to help with the build and launch of the HealthKit consumer health data platform.
Now Mayo has launched its app, which is available for free to Mayo Clinic patients and the general public at Apple’s App Store.
The Mayo app now collects data from any number of connected health devices through an integration with the Health app in iOS 8. The HealthKit platform sits above it all and controls which pieces of data in the Health app the Mayo app can access.
Labor rights groups said Thursday that a Chinese factory producing iPhone and iPad parts was found "to have a number of serious health and safety, environmental, and human rights violations."
The groups, US-based China Labor Watch and Green America, said the 20,000 workers at the Catcher Technology-owned plant in Suqian were exposed to aluminum-magnesium alloy sheddings without protective equipment and encountered locked safety exits, forced unpaid overtime, and other labor violations.
This dreaded moment has happened to everyone. You walk out of a store and panic seizes you. “Where did I park my car?” you ask. You’re then subjected to the wander of shame through the parking lot as you desperately try to locate your vehicle.
But thanks to two new Apple patents, this all-too-familar struggle might become a thing of the past. The patents detail how your phone can be used to help you find your car, even if you don’t have good reception. And no, it doesn’t use GPS, either.
With the launch of a health app and data-sharing platform, Apple is betting that tracking your vital signs via smartphone is about to become a booming industry.
The number of apps available for health tracking has grown in the past few years, although adoption of these apps has not grown significantly. Clinicians are, however, starting to explore the benefits of using such apps to keep track of patients’ health indicators and offer advice. If this strategy proves helpful and both doctors and patients are comfortable sharing data, mobile health tracking could indeed become big enough to produce significant revenue for companies like Apple.
