What to say when your Prom date picks you up in an Apple…
What kind of juice does this run on? Big news folks. You may not have to wait long for an Apple Automobile as you may think. (Say that five times fast). Apple is speeding up plans for their electric cars. The big date? 2019. The cars will not be autonomous, nonetheless it’s hard to hide our excitement. The current 600 person Apple team will soon triple to 1800 (yep, we are good at math too) To meet the forecasted launch. Evidence supporting the expedited release date is the large increase of Apple engineers with automobile backgrounds. Some from the successful electric car company Tesla. Some speculate that Apple will try purchasing Elon Musk’s car company in order to accelerate into the automobile industry. Hmmm very interesting. We can only hope that Apple’s long term vision includes building flying cars. Vroom.
A little bit more…
As you all may know Apple is known for disrupting existing markets. You may have heard of some of their products. What they’re DEFINITELY not known for is co-branding or partnerships. When questioned about Apple’s future engagements in the automobile industry, CEO Tim Cook answered “We look at a number of things along the way, and we decide to really put our energies in a few of them.” Hopefully their automobiles don’t include Apple Maps as standard…oh burn.
STATS of the day..
The United Nations’ Broadband Commission recently dropped some jaw-dropping stats on us. About what you ask? Internet Connection. The 2015 report estimates that 57% of the human population, 4.2 billion people will not have regular internet connection by the end of the year. Less Candy Crush for all this Halloween season. Sugar high officially crashed (pun fun).
