The development of iCloud is said to be hindered by major organizational problems (November 24)
Apple is said to be facing problems with the development of iCloud, at least that's what the online magazine The Information claims. Together with iOS 8, the Californian company introduced the iCloud Drive function, thanks to which users can access all their files directly on the Mac, as well as the ambitious iCloud Photo Library. It is the latter function that remains in the beta phase and its delayed release until iOS 8.1. is attributed to the distrust of users after the leaked photos of several celebrities. According to The Information magazine, the long wait for proper integration and completion of services is due to the lack of a centralized team working directly on iCloud Photo Library, as well as the delay in the release of the Photos app, which will allow users to edit photos from iCloud Library on Mac. The Photos app should launch in the first half of 2015, and with it, all the iCloud features that depend on it could finally be completed.

Apple Map's top manager left for Uber (25/11)
In recent months, Apple has had to deal with several departures of its important employees, especially from the teams that worked on the Maps application. At the same time, most of them went to the rapidly developing company Uber, which mediates taxi services. It was no different for Brad Moore, CTO for Maps, who joined Uber in October. At Apple, Moore led the team behind Maps on all iOS devices, in CarPlay, and was also involved in the development of Maps in OS X and the Apple Watch. Due to the numerous departures, Apple will most likely have to postpone the release of several new features related to the Maps application, such as public transport navigation.

Apple to stop production of iPhone 2015C in 5 (November 26)
Production of the iPhone 5c will probably end in the middle of next year. The iPhone 5c was introduced alongside the iPhone 5s as a cheaper version of Apple's mobile device. Now only its 8GB version is available, and Apple will most likely stop offering the iPhone 2015c altogether in 5, so only iPhones with Touch ID will be available. Sales of the iPhone 5c were lower than Apple had expected, despite efforts to revive it with online ads on sites like Tumblr and Yahoo this spring. Other reports suggest that Apple has long since reduced production of the color version of the iPhone in order to meet the high demand for the iPhone 5s. Together with the iPhone 5c, Apple is to definitively stop producing the iPhone 4S as well.

FCC marks will probably disappear from iPhones (November 27)
Under the law, which was approved by President Obama, according to The Hill magazine, electrical companies will no longer be required to place the Federal Communications Commission logo directly on the device's hardware. From now on, the required information should be listed only in the digital version, i.e. in the settings menu of every iPhone. Allowing a slight design change, Apple could utilize already on their other iPhone models.

A week in a nutshell
Massive AIDS promotion last week repainted for example, the App Store or Apple logos in selected Apple Stores in red. Apple has thus repeatedly expressed support for the RED project. Along with promoting this project, Apple also found time to release two more iPhone 6 ads but also information about new functions your expected watch.
We learned that the absence of a 32GB version of the iPhone brings out Apple at least 4 billion dollars and that the market value of Apple she broke through the record 700 billion mark. Another good news for the Californian company is the constant increase adoption of iOS 8, which is now on 60% of devices.
Conversely, Google could lose advantageous position of the default search engine in Safari in favor of Bing or Yahoo. Universal studio last week too took over a movie about Steve Jobs and kept Michael Fassbender as the main actor. And if you'd like to buy a replica Apple pirate flag, here's your chance! Susan Kare, creator of the icons used on the first Mac, is now sells.
Well, no matter what anyone wants to say, under Jobs there was no such migration of senior Apple members, the new management (and I don't just mean Tim) is clearly making too incompetent decisions that quickly result in the departure of both long-term employees and, after that, those who have joined as a whole recently.
that's cool, more products = more adidas. They will figure it out again in a few years, tap their foreheads and rediscover "Apple". Now we have to stop the period when they serve us a new "better" ios, osx ... more and more products that after two years gradually cut off... so people who used to live with tight SW and HW are probably going their own way...
