Apple's Future Not So Bleak After All

People still form long queues whenever a new gadget is unveiled

The Tech Giants have had many ups and downs throughout the years and they're still going strong. Sales records have been broken, innovative technology has been introduced and many changes have been made. At the start Apple Inc. was just a small computer company, people didn't think anything big of them, but the 21st century brought along a few surprises. Fantastic new gadgets, such as the iPod, iPhone, iPad and the great line-up of Macs changed our lives and ways of communication. Apple is the only company that makes people go crazy for their devices. Yes, they are pricey, simply because they are incomparable. No other tablet is better than the iPad. No other music player is better than the iPod. No other phone is better than the iPhone. No other computer or laptop is better than the Mac. And no other company is better than Apple. Deal with it.

Since Steve Jobs passed away in 2011, Apple seem to be losing their spark. However, Apple stores took in more money per square foot than any other US retailer. Wow, theyre good AND popular. The new iPhone 5 didn't cause that much of a buzz, but now users have realised that it's a great piece of tech - far better than anything else. No, it's not the biggest smartphone out there, but do we really want to be carrying phones the size of tablets around with us? We most certainly do not. Now, with the WWDC coming up in less than a month, a great deal of excitement is building up as iOS 7 is expected to be released. Jony Ive has apparently set his eyes on a flat design and that could possibly be the new look of iOS - you can read more here. Whatever it's going to look like, iOS 7 needs to be completely polished up, unlike iOS 6 was at the start. Nobody's expecting the new iPhone to be released just yet, but Tim Cook hinted to look out for a new gadget line-up, maybe the iWatch or the rumoured iTV?

The Wallstreet Journal don't see Apple as one of the best performing companies right now, but all that will probably change very soon. The 'new gadget line-up' and the iPhone 5S/6 are sure to bring a lot of attention to Apple this year; and sales are sure to reach the sky. Although Apple's market value has dipped a considerable amount within the past couple of months, there is nothing serious to be worried about. Apple are a long way away from closing down and no one is giving up on them, the prices are high but the fanboys and girls will keep on buying. Recession or no recession.
