Apple company. All that you wanted to know about Apple Pay App Left Play

2014 Consumer Electronics Show - a show that is often called the collection of Gicks and Botany computer networks in the pants of the khaki color, this year gathered a record number of automotive exhibitors.

And the world-famous Apple Corporation on this show showed that it was ready to take a bold piece of cake in the sphere. The company on this show was the stand on the name " IOS in the car". And new phrase" Apple CarPlay"It became closely to combine with some car manufacturers, and some models will already be released by the end of 2014.

Like many other communication systems in the car, the entire idea of \u200b\u200bCarPlay is to allow you to do everything that is in your car, but not distracted by the main action - driving. At the same time, the key role in the system is played by the application of Siri (Siri), which can perform commands under dictation and respond to any questions, adapting individually under the style of your speech. But the main thing is that already very soon we will find out how well it works as soon as the equipment in cars appears on the streets of our city.

Demonstration of the CarPlay system in the Ferrari car in the Geneva Motor Show

The work of the CarPlay system is pretty simple - in general, like everything else, for which Apple is taken. You take your iPhone 5, 5S, or 5C and connect it through a special lighting connector to the car interface. Voila! Your car now has almost all the functions of your phone, as you always wanted. However, the on-board computer of the car does not make all that severe work that is running on your iOS; Believe me, it has a lot of other - more important work - such as, in the end, reading information from numerous sensors of the machine to save the stable ABS and ESP operation or make sure that your airbags are in working condition to at the right minute Save your life ... And all this while you break up the birds in the Angry Birds, turn it out (and voice) playlist your favorite group or write an important entry in Evernote. Your iPhone works with your car. This means that applications must be installed on your mobile phone to see them on the car interface in the console. CarPlay fully integrates the machine and iPhone. It works initially with car control elements, such as the volume of playing music and talk on the phone, so you do not have to spend time by picking on your phone to make changes. It also works together with the touch screen on your car dashboard as well as the display on your phone.

Connect to CarPlay via iPhone

However, not all applications can work on CarPlay, at least in their usual mode. At the same time, it will be Apple that will dictate you the last word about what will work, and what is not. Indeed, the application of the application is mainly mainly to. The idea of \u200b\u200bCarPlay and almost any other entertainment system and car communication is to minimize distracting factors. At least, this is what all technical producers claim. In any case, it is very unlikely that Apple will be able to make a secure the same game Angry Birds or Doom while you are driving. Music, navigation, and everything that can be managed without the use of hands or although using one hand, may occur because your hands and eyes should be driving.

If you are an army fan of Siri and can not imagine my life without her voice even for a second, Carplay will turn your dreams into reality. Siri will talk to you directly from the speakers of your car surrounding you. She will browse the calendar and email and tell you about the upcoming events and meetings while you are going. She will read you SMS messages and allow you to dictate the answer to them.

After the debut in Geneva in CarPlay, only a few pre-approved applications were available. Siri, of course, has become the main one. In addition to Siri, some application will be available (and most likely there will be several of them) for listening to music.

But you probably already ask yourself: "And where is the main application, so necessary on the road?!", Isn't it? Yes, such an application will necessarily be present with CarPlay, but according to preliminary data, it will not be Google Maps. The problem is that there is no way to associate Google maps with Siri to allow you to find a destination and build a route to it. You will have to use the "apple" option of cards - Apple Maps - in CarPlay, but you should like it. Although, however, from the first days of its existence, Apple Maps has improved quite a bit.

When Apple debuted with CarPlay in 2014 in the Geneva Motor Show, the company confirmed that work with a dozen automakers, including the purchase of a new car for themselves, will probably even be presented with the ability to select the operating environment in which you already live In everyday life, and for the car you want to buy. And while the operating system lives on the phone, and not on the hard disk of the car, it has a lot of meaning.

Many people will agree that the current generation of youth does not want to ride; These guys want cars to travel instead of them. They do not want to buy their own car, in fact, they do not want cars at all, they need smartphones. This trend is clearly noted by automakers and developers of modern technology. So, in 2014, many technological developments were presented at Consumer Electronics, among which Apple CarPlay.

Apple clearly does not want to stand aside and plans to get a considerable piece of this cake. The show of the preliminary version of "Apple Car Play" took place in 2013, but in Geneva in 2014 the official debut of the new Apple CarPlay system was organized. Like many modern automotive communication systems, the principle of work CarPlay is to allow the driver to do anything without being distracted by control.

The practical part of Apple Carplay is quite simple, and this is a huge merit of developers. It is for simplicity and logicality apple apple technique. You need to just take your "apple" smartphone or tablet, connect it to the car interface and everything is ready! The car turns into a smartphone, which was expected. The 21st century came. The car computer is not capable of what allows you to do iOS. In fact, he has other tasks, such as reading data from all sorts of sensors.

This means that applications must be installed on your mobile device to see them on the display located on the central console of the car. The touch panel works just like a sensor on the phone, so even a newcomer is understood. In fact, there is a complete synchronization of the automotive system with the iPhone or iPad.

Not all applications can work on CarPlay. Developers tried to maintain a high security indicator. The idea of \u200b\u200b"Apple Car Play", as in all other entertainment and information automotive systems, is to minimize distracting factors. At least all technical experts speak about it.

If you fell in love with Siri's voice assistant and can not live without her voice, the Apple CarPlay system will make your dreams reality. Siri will talk to you right through the car interface. She will check your calendar and email, and will also tell you about the planned business meetings right while driving. It will read your text messages and provide the ability to dictate your answer, which it will then send the addressee. It will also help you make calls through a loud connection.

Unfortunately, the system does not allow using "Google Maps" to navigate. You will have to use Apple maps with CarPlay. The developers promise you like it, but in fact, everything is not so smooth.

When Apple presented CarPlay at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show, the company confirmed that she collaborates with a dozen manufacturers, including Ferrari, Honda, Hyundai, Jaguar, Mercedes-Benz and Volvo. This is a fairly large price range, therefore, even if Ferrari do not afford you, you will probably find a car equipped with CarPlay that you can really afford.

Apple, like any public corporation, accountable to investors. Therefore, every three months holds a telephone conference, during which it reports to the members of the Board on the financial success of the company entrusted to him. Of course, to satisfy investors, reports must be positive, and revenues are steadily growing. This is not unusual because there are all major enterprises without exception. But Tim Cook sincerely believes that it should not be that any company in the first place should be its customers.

The speed with which the coronavirus is distributed cannot not scare. Despite the fact that while the World Health Organization is in no hurry to retrain the epidemic in a pandemic, the virus has already caused enormous damage. True, no people have suffered more from him, but the world economy, due to the fact that many enterprises were forced to suspend their production due to indefinite quarantine announced in China. However, in order to prevent, mass events are still canceled independently of their significance. MWC, F8, Google I / O, SXSW has already been canceled. Now, in question, the Martov Presentation of Apple and WWDC.

Apple is quite categorical on the date of destination for the start of fresh products. That is why new versions of the company's company's company and new iPhone and MacBook models come out about the same time every year. Of course, the days of the week may vary, but usually in adhere to a single schedule, assigning presentations for June for software updates, for September - for smartphones and October - for laptops. However, Apple has products that receive upgrades outside the framework of any schedules and graphs, namely as needed. For example, Mac Mini and IMAC Linek Computers.

In the modern world, success is a phenomenon that has ceased to have a definitely positive value. And the point is not even that some do not seek it at all honest ways, but in what is worth one company to come to success, as there will be the one that complains about the violation of its rights and legitimate interests. Not because the first one stole something from the second, but because he simply did not take her in a fraction. Do you think this is fiction? But no. The lively proof of this is Apple, to which it and the case are submitted to the court, accusing in the creation of a monopoly.

A smart home is a sphere that has not yet succumbed to Apple. Of course, in tried to forgive the soil, releasing the homepod and even the house of the house, from which you can control the column and other gadgets, but it is still very early to talk about any weighty conquest. It would seem that for such a company as Apple, it is worth establishing the production of smart modems, light bulbs and other gadgets, which are full of the assortment of Chinese vendors? But, apparently, she simply does not want to do ababa that, and therefore, they united from Google, Amazon and Zigbee Alliance to work on the ecosystem for a smart home.

If in the rating of the Dxomark laboratory, the evaluating camera of smartphones, was the nomination "The most unusual chamber", in it would be guaranteed by Google Pixel. Still, to achieve a single camera with the ability to make portrait pictures, stabilize the image and lighten the photos made in the dark, so that they look as much as possible, with the help of alone software algorithms expensive. Despite the fact that at first such a way of development looked rather unusual, gradually many companies, and Apple, including, came to the fact that there is nothing wrong with the programming improvement of the pictures.

I think you have already heard about the fact that last week the State Duma in the third reading adopted a bill that obliges electronics manufacturers to establish the software of Russian developers to their gadgets. Despite this that while this is just a dweller, which does not contain any references to specific types of devices, nor mandatory to pre-install programs, or those responsible for fulfillment of these requirements, the business is seriously strained. And how not only Russian media write about this, but foreign ones write about it. As a result, even in decided that it was necessary to defend their interests, let them have to go to the president himself.

If you followed the development of Apple in the early 2010s, then surely remember which despondency covered the brand fans due to the departure of Steve Jobs. Despite the fact that he himself chose a successor to himself, many refused to believe that he could lead the company to the same course as its founder. Still, Jobs was not just a leader, he was directly involved in the development of each new product, giving tips on making certain changes. Tim Cook also prefers not to interfere with the work of the team of designers, allowing them to do their work independently, but this does not mean that he should not be the covenants of Steve Jobs.
