Lukáš Gondek A week full of new Apple products also brought other news, several of them revolving around Tuesday's keynote. Apple and U2, who performed during the presentation, are said to want to change the way we listen to music. On the same day, Apple's design team was almost historically immortalized. And again, we have speculation about a 12-inch MacBook.
Apple and U2 want to change how we listen to music (10/9)
Jony Ive, U2's Bono and Apple's new product designer Marc Newson joined the stage after the new Apple Watch was unveiled at Tuesday's keynote. Bono called this trio "three amigos" and compared the connection of Apple designers with the group U2 to the connection of the Beatles and the Rolling Stones. Signed to Interscope Records, fronted by none other than Jimmy Iovine, U2 have decided to release their latest album on iTunes and offer it as a free download. However, the group did not lose their earnings, Bono admitted to TIME magazine that Apple paid them of course. The group's frontman also let it be known that users should expect many more such connections between the group and the California company: "We are working together with Apple on many amazing things, innovations that should change the way we listen to music." Bono noted that with Apple they will continue to work together for the next two years.

Apple's industrial design team immortalized in a rare photo (10/9)
The launch of the Apple Watch was such an important event that the entire industrial design team appeared together in public. This group of people, who are behind iPhones, iPads and, for example, the recently released Apple Watch, are very secretive and have all appeared in public only once, in 2012 at the design awards in London. Many of the people in the photo have been with Apple for a long time, some working for the Californian company even before Steve Jobs returned to the company in 1997. The team consists of 22 employees, headed by Sir Jony Ive. Next to Jony Ivo, Apple's newest employee Marc Newson is in the photo.

Samsung sues Apple for malfunctioning live stream (September 10)
It seems like almost every Apple Week there's an article about how Samsung is ripping off Apple in advertising. On Wednesday, the day after the keynote, Samsung released a series of videos on the Internet in which actors who look like Apple Store employees wait together for the release of the new iPhone. In six videos, Samsung managed to draw attention to the malfunctioning live stream, the presentation of the "groundbreaking" iPhone with a larger display, or the impossibility of using the Apple Watch without an iPhone. In the remaining three videos, the South Korean company highlights the features of their Galaxy devices, such as fast charging, multitasking and the stylus for the Galaxy Note phablet.

Apple VP Greg Joswiak to attend Code/Mobile conference (11/9)
The Re/code magazine conference called Code/Mobile will take place on 27-28 Apple Vice President Greg Joswiak will attend in October. Joswiak is behind the marketing and management of iPhones and iPods, but also the iOS system. He does not appear in public often, but at the conference he will talk about new Apple products - the iPhone 6, iOS 8 and Apple Pay. Greg Joswiak will thus be the third guest with ties to Apple who visited the Code/Mobile conference this year, together with Eddy Cuo and Jimmy Iovine, who attended it this May.

Next year, an ultra-thin 12-inch MacBook could come in three color variants (11/9)
The 12-inch MacBook has been rumored for months. It was originally supposed to be introduced at the beginning of this year, but due to Intel's problems with the new Broadwell chips, its release has reportedly been pushed back to mid-2015. The new MacBook should be even thinner than the current Air, could have a Retina display, a buttonless trackpad, and even could operate without a fan. According to the report A Tech Website this MacBook is still in the works, and Apple is said to be planning to release it in three color variants that would copy the iPhone line. A gray and gold MacBook could thus be added to the silver Air.

A week in a nutshell
It's undoubtedly one of the most important weeks of the year for Apple fans. The Californian company presented the expected at Tuesday's keynote larger variants of the iPhone, a sophisticated mobile payment system Apple Pay, which would could also reach us in Europe at the beginning of next year, and a brand new product Apple Watch, which is supposed to be one of the most personal things Apple has ever invented. Unfortunately, on the same day, the iconic product of the Californian company, with which it once changed the world, the iPod classic, rang because he was excluded from the offer.
The iPhone's larger displays have been met with mixed reactions. Many say that Steve Jobs would never allow a bigger iPhone, but Apple's current boss, Tim Cook, disagrees he stated that now Steve Jobs is smiling. In addition, Cook mentioned plans for a larger iPhone had Apple already four years ago. Larger diagonals they give also lots of new iOS options. Later in the week, the countries in which the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus will be sold in the so-called second wave were also announced. Unfortunately, the Czech Republic is not among them.
Everything is very nice, but it seems to me that iPhones are still moving somewhere and their eyes are still closed to the main lack of all smart gadgets, the energy source/capacity. I will give up the new functionalities, I will easily return to the "level" of 4s, but give me 3-5 days on one charge, at least a weekend. We're mobile like this - charger at home, at work, in the car... I'll come across as a cable guru. We leave the house and we don't think about whether the stove is turned off, but about whether we have lightning + charger... if anyone has it, it's Apple, we need to start working and bring a real revolution that will overshadow all those extra cores, inches and mpx.
What actually happened in that white pixel in the end,
which Apple had built? As far as I know, the Keynote took place in the old center, is that right?
I think Tim Cook said that Steve Jobs is smiling, not because of bigger iPhones, but because of the Apple Watch, as the most innovative and amazing product after the death of Steve Jobs…
I'm wrong, Steve Jobs, now Apple is going down the drain, it's not the apple it used to be :(
My iPhone lasted even 2 days. Petka won't last a day for me. Apple could finally think and invest the time spent on the watch failure rather in the user.
I don't have to be a visionary and I know that the watch will be an ultra flop.
Since the death of Jobs, Apple has gone backwards and the only way out is that it has a quality locomotive with which it can return to the place where it turned back. Unfortunately, Tim is a bad driver and is disoriented….
Poor Jobs-if he sees what's going on, he'll curse the day Epl was founded...
Steve - go back and throw out the current management!
"Driv my iPhone lasted even 2 days. Petka won't last me a day.'
blah, blah, blah... will other smartphones last longer? I doubt there will be a significant difference. I have two iPhone 5S. private and service. I don't use private almost at all, only for a couple of calls and sms. the battery lasts me about 7 days. I have everything else set on the official one. emails, whatsapp, push notifications... it lasts 1-2 days, depending on how much I do with it. try to think about how you used your phone before and how you use it now.
however, I wrote about this exactly below, we are adding functions, hw parameters, but the battery is still "the same", these devices are coming into my life more and more and I can use them less and less thanks to the battery, what's wrong with "blah blah"? it's just the fact that mental problems are becoming more and more prevalent with smart devices in general. btw, we have a lumia 800 at home, the daughter uses it quite often and the s3mini for work, and as for the batteries, they are twice as good.
Nokia Lumia 800:
116.5 x 61.2 x 12.1, 142 g
iPhone 5:
123.8 x 58.6 x 7.6 mm, 112 g
how can you compare a phone that is 50% rougher and heavier? of course it will have a bigger battery = hold on. something for something. the weight and size of the iPhone matters. I wouldn't want a bigger and heavier phone. if you prefer Nokia, use here. or buy iPhone 6plus, it has much better endurance than iPhone 5 and iPhone 6. maybe it will be because it is bigger and has a bigger battery...?
I can compare them just fine, if I forget what's running on the phones, I don't mind the slightly larger weight and thickness. On the contrary, I don't use the i5 without a case (ballistics) because it doesn't stick to me on its own, I have big hands and the phone is already too weak for me, the 3G stuck to me much better... Despite the fact that the number of posts even here about "I don't need an apple" 7mm but endurance" is more and more and it probably won't just be my whim. So my point is still, and I'm writing it for the third time: is it necessary for something? I get up in the morning, I disconnect my iPhone, I'm 100% at work, sometimes I check my email, I call once a day for a minute, some SMS, I don't have time to steam or surf at work, I drive from MB to Prague for 30 minutes, I turn on the navigation, I get to school and I'm already searching after the charger to be charged on the way back... that's my experience... take the i5 somewhere for the weekend as a phone in case something happens? unacceptable... I have to take an old nokia that lasts 14 days without a problem... so something for something... which we practically can't use mobile... we are mobile to the nearest outlet... that's my point. HAWK I arranged.
I would like to point out that I am an apple fan, a long-term user both on the desktop and from the first versions of iOS, I like apple, I'm not talking. I objectively evaluate my experience.
And I am convinced that the Apple Watch will be a huge hit. People were not interested in iPads after the introduction of the first model either. People didn't know why they should have something like that... And how it is today ;-)
it will be a hit, that's for sure. when it comes to the functions and sophistication of the "eco system", the apple watch has no competition. regardless of the fact that apple is currently the only company that can "tell" people that you need this... they are great in terms of design, the strap system is divine just because of the magnetic "click"
Again this is bullshit, like most of your comments anyway….
