In anticipation of the official release of iOS 7.1 Apple has released five beta versions of the operating system, though they are available only to developers. It would seem that the appearance of the new iOS for a wide range of users is not far off, but the company’s engineers, apparently, this time decided not to hurry. In mid-December last year, it was reported that Apple will release iOS 7.1 in March , and yesterday the rumors were confirmed portal 9to5Mac and trusted source.

iOS 7.1 will be the first major update since the release of iOS 7 in September last year. It is reported that in March in Cupertino intend to do some more serious changes in its operating system. In particular, we are talking about different visual enhancements and fixes critical bugs.

Hope for the emergence of support for the Russian language voice assistant Siri also remains – in the end, if Apple adds new voices to the existing languages, it may well teach Siri to talk to the great and mighty. However, count on it with absolute certainty is not necessary.

According to The Verge, the exit delay caused by the preparation of iOS 7.1 operating system to work with the new function «iOS in the car” , presented in June last year. Partners Apple – the largest car manufacturers must have time to prepare their cars to further they quickly “friends” with the iOS-devices.

As an approximate release date journalists call on March 3, but it is possible that Apple will have time to “roll out” the new iOS in late February. For too long, the corporation keeps its users on iOS 7.0.4, the amount of change which tends to zero. Time would still give iOS July 2 breath.

Interestingly, in June of this year should already be presented iOS 8, and Apple is going to release only the first major update iOS 7 for five months. Not too late right?

In early June of this year, the news agency Bloomberg reported that Apple first wants to start selling their smartphones for Trade-In system . The program is aimed at the exchange of old for new iPhone with a small additional charge to the buyer. Although the size of the additional cost will depend on the status of the device, the purchase of a smartphone on this system is significantly cheaper.

One of these days portal 9to5Mac has received official confirmation of the rumors. The newspaper said the company plans to start selling the iPhone Trade-In Program in September of this year. Apple is already conducting special training for the employees of its retail stores.

What is the benefit here for Apple? With the help of such manipulations company will not only improve the statistics on sales iPhone, but also get a huge park “remanufactured” devices, which will subsequently be implemented in emerging markets.

Thus, the technology giant will launch a Trade-In directly with the output iPhone 5S and 5C . Imagine how the queue lined up in front of Apple Store? Buyers will certainly want to save the extra couple of hundred dollars, and even more so since many prefer to sell your old smartphone, and then purchase a new one.

Rather, as long as this program will apply only in the U.S., but it is possible that over time it will expand and the rest of the country, where there is a retail chain of Apple. And given the increased attention of top management corporation to our market Apple could open its official store in Russia.

Sometimes buyers are confused prefix “restored” to the iPhone, but there is nothing wrong in buying this gadget. He was also covered by the warranty from Apple, but with the mind it can be no different from the new smartphone. Often fall into this category defective devices that were returned back to the Apple Store.

Curiously, whether American users to exchange the iPhone 5 on a budget model without any additional cost. This will directly depend on what price range the company is going to choose to distribute their product. I’m sure for $ 350 5C will fly like hotcakes.

Recently, Tim Cook personally visited China on a working visit , but the exact cause of his trip so far remained unknown. According to rumors, Apple CEO to come back for a visit to the active partner corporations – companies China Telecom, and also looked to China Mobile, which is the largest mobile operator in the world, but has not yet officially sold iPhone. The other day, her head Xi Guohua said that negotiations with Apple to supply smartphones actively underway and could be completed in the near future, reports 9to5Mac.

Thus, China Mobile may enter into an agreement with Apple directly to the output iPhone 5S and budget iPhone. This will benefit both sides, although the company from Cupertino is much more important to reach an agreement on cooperation. Recently, the share of iPhone in the smartphone market Celestial drops significantly , and save the situation can only China Mobile. And if it does start selling cheap iPhone, it will be a serious bid to win.

China Mobile’s subscriber base has more than 700 million users. It is not clear what difficulties may arise from Apple at the conclusion of the agreement: probably a corporation wants to re-impose their own conditions. Under this scheme, she used to work with U.S. mobile operators, which the iPhone is now necessary as air.

Chinese operator, in turn, dictates the rules. If Apple executives will not agree to some concessions, they risk losing an important strategic partner. Not the best turn when the technology giant has set a goal to win the Asian smartphone market this year. His company is successfully implementing tactics in India.

Tim Cook talks with top managers of China Mobile since the beginning of this year. In January, he also flew to China for talks – unfortunately, their results we can only guess. The current visit of the Cook Celestial is the third in a row this year. Is it too it there frequenting?

Experts believe that with the release of new products Apple is going to start in the autumn capture the Chinese market. However, with the current pricing policy it is clearly nothing to do there, even with the contractual smartphones. That once again tells us whether to release budget iPhone .
