Patent Shows 'Magic Tables' in Apple Stores (12/11)
Apple is introducing a novelty in its stores in the form of data and power ports, which are interestingly hidden directly in the display tables. If the employee needs them, a simple gesture is enough to wave over a certain place on the desk and the panel with the drawers will slide out of the desk. The patent also includes opening the panel via an RFID signal or, for example, using fingerprints.
The display tables in Apple Stores can thus retain their simple design, which was designed by Jony Ive himself, and which sales chief Angela Ahrendts does not plan to change yet, unlike other aspects of Apple stores. According to her, she wants to bring the presentation of products in Apple Stores closer to the windows of small-town shops.

A week in a nutshell
Last week, Apple released the long-awaited iPad Pro, which was discussed in an interview they talked Tim Cook and Eddy Cue. On the product she came out new ad, in the App Store discovered a section for games and apps that look best on the new iPad, however essential additions to the iPad Pro, the Pencil that Jony Ive he claims, that it is the successor of the pencil, and the Smart Keyboard they are not not yet available.
Inside the iPad Pro, the price of which in the Czech Republic begins at 25 thousand, we will find improved speakers, computing power and faster Lightning. The most popular iPad je but still a four year old iPad 2.
Apple too Issued Apple Music app on Android and Firefox finally Issued your iOS browser. The movie about Steve Jobs is still in American cinemas falls through, most likely due to fan backlash, and Apple in Ireland invests million euros in energy from sea waves.
It's a shame that most of the time in that advertisement for the iPad Pro does not concern him at all and the device is not visible in it. Even if you're looking at that new keyboard on the web and you're interested, you click on the video link and you're taken back to the same thing, where you only see a split second of that keyboard and basically nothing else. This is not really how I envision a product presentation.
