Apple will allow accessory manufacturers to use Lightning ports (18/11)
Even though Apple has used Lightning connectors for several years, third-party accessory manufacturers have not been allowed to use Lightning ports in their devices. Apple will allow these companies to use the ports early next year. The California-based company is also now said to be working on a thinner Lightning connector, which should provide companies with an easier method of building connectors into their devices.

The new iPhone could have dual lenses (18/11)
Apple is working on a dual-lens camera, according to speculations made public by Daring Fireball's John Gruber on his talk show. According to Gruber, the new iPhone could thus bring one of the biggest shifts in cameras ever and could be able to take photos in a quality comparable to the quality of SLR photos. HTC has already used a similar multi-lens system with its new One M8 phone. There are many different ways Apple could use the two lenses. Corephotonics, for example, uses one lens to focus the image at a distance, while the other focuses on detail. By combining the information captured by both lenses, Apple would achieve very high quality photos.

Sony reportedly gave up on Steve Jobs movie (19/11)
The new movie about Steve Jobs, written by screenwriter Aaron Sorkin, is almost ready to be shot, and yet at this stage, the studio Sony has most likely decided to sell it to another company. Sony has already spent two years preparing the film, which is inspired by Walter Isaacson's biography of Jobs. The most likely movie studio to buy the film is Universal Studios.
Fans do not need to worry, the film should not be delayed by this handover and filming could start according to the original plans. One of the reasons why Sony reportedly gave up on the film is precisely the shooting schedule. Director Danny Boyle wanted to start filming already in January, but the Sony studio wanted to wait until the spring of 2015. However, shooting in the spring would again lose the candidate for the main role, Michael Fassbender, who is signed to shoot the new X-Men movie at that time.

10 percent of iPhone 5 and newer owners will reportedly buy an Apple Watch (20/11)
The first sales assumptions for the Apple Watch are in the range of 10 to 30 million units sold in the first year of sale. Morgan Stanley's latest forecast is that 10 percent of iPhone 5 and newer owners will buy the new watch, heading straight for the upper end of the estimate. Morgan Stanley is based on the sales of the first iPads - at that time it was assumed that 5 million iPads were sold, but in reality 15 million were sold in the first year. Thus, 14% of iPhone users bought an iPad at that time. The start of sales of the Apple Watch is still not specified by Apple, we only have the beginning of 2015 confirmed.

The A8 chip in the new iPhones can reportedly play 4K video (November 21)
The A8 chip found in the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus is said to be capable of playing videos in 4K quality, even though the new iPhones' resolutions are only 1334x750 and 1920x1080 pixels. iPhones will not be able to display the detail of 3840 × 2160 4K videos, but they will be playable. This function, which was never officially announced by Apple, was noticed by the developers of the WALTR application, which allows you to import unsupported video formats to the iPhone.

A week in a nutshell
In the past week, we learned some news about the Apple Watch: it revealed new information release development tools, thanks to which we learned i distinction watches. Apple will too have to pay $23 million fine for infringing 90s pager patents and Arizona sapphire plant to keep and begins use it differently.
Nokia presented its new tablet, which bears a striking resemblance to the iPad mini. Apple again next year, most likely introduces iPhones with more durable Gorilla Glass 4. They got we also received new information about the film about Jobs, in which, according to screenwriter Sorkin, Jobs' daughter should be the heroine. And two weeks after we they used Swype keyboard, she came with Czech and Swiftkey.
I think that only fanatics really buy epl watches. If someone really wants to buy this kind of crap, they will buy a really beautiful watch: the MOTO360. I don't need a Motorola, but they are a million steps ahead in watches...
and I think that only a fool would buy an Android watch, even though I admit that it is a good design.
Well, I think that Apple watches are also beautiful, and I think that according to the reviews of watchmakers, they are also much better processed. In any case, the first smart watch that looks premium and will be a truly fashionable and life-style item. But I have to admit that I don't see much use for this first generation either. I'll wait until 2-3. Well, the 1st generation of the iPhone and iPad didn't make that much sense either.
Well, I'm sorry, but those Motorola watches are really ugly. And I used a euphemism. Plus they have Android. And the control method there is also tragic (as with practically all smart watches so far). Only a fool would buy that. I'm looking forward to the Apple Watch because from everything they've shown, it's the first truly usable smartwatch. Mainly thanks to the easy operation, when you can start anything within a second or two, not that, like the competition, you will be scrolling like crazy through a list of applications to do something completely trivial.
THE GOSPEL TRUTH! MOTOROLA IS AN AMAZING DESIGNER!
THE APPLE WATCH REALLY DIDN'T DO WELL
SKODA
BUT STILL, WATCHES IN GENERAL ARE STUPID
