As move into the month of September, it’s time for anticipation to build once again. Apple typically uses September to announce the release of its latest iPhone model. The new Apple iPhone 7 could be announced at a press conference rumored to be held next week on the 7th. We may also hear about a new version of the popular Apple Watch.

Industry insiders are expecting the new Apple iPhone 7 to include an improved water-proof design and better camera system. We expect to see two sensors to produce an image that’s both more detailed and brighter. A controversial topic is whether the new iPhone will eliminate the headphone jack. I know some you are freaking out now and yelling at the top of your lungs, “No!” We know Apple includes earbuds in each box. It’s possible they may be wireless or utilize the Lightning port. The goal of this big change would be to make the iPhone case slimmer and improve making it water-proof.

If the new Apple iPhone 7 does get announced on September 7, then it’s likely orders will begin on the 16th or pushed to the 23rd. But what if you don’t want to have the latest version but not satisfied with the same cell phone that millions of others will be using? Legend has the answer.

Hi-tech giant Apple continues to push the boundaries of technology and cement the brand as one of the leading innovative companies ever.

Last week in San Francisco, Apple unveiled it’s next generation iPhone – the iPhone 6 plus the highly anticipated Apple Watch.

The new Apple iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus are both larger than any Apple phone previously released. On the new iPhone 6 models, customers will be looking forward to larger screens and viewing richer video.

The new iPhones will definitely be the thinnest and most powerful mobile device models yet. You will be able to begin purchasing the new iPhone 6 this week on September 19. The new iPhone 6 will have a retail price of $200 and the new iPhone 6 Plus model will be priced at $200.

While other smartphone makers have been offering larger screens that have been extremely popular with consumers, Apple has been rather slow to adapt. But both the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus launches should quickly erase any frustration in the core, Apple customer base.

Many consumers like a bigger screen for browsing the Web, playing games and watching videos. The iPhone 6 will feature a 4.7 inch – 1334 x 750 IPS display. The iPhone 6 Plus is larger at 5.5 inches and a 1920 x 1080 pixel panel.

Both new models are manufactured from an anodized aluminium chassis so they won’t rust. The stainless steel Apple logo can be found on the back of each phone. For storage, Apple offers 3 different sizes – 16GB, 64GB and now a 128GB model.

The much anticipated Apple Watch features a square screen and comes in two different case sizes – 38mm and 42mm. The new Apple watch will come in gold, aluminum and stainless steel.
The 18 karat gold version will be named Watch Edition and stainless steel version will be called Watch Sport

It will be interesting to see the public reaction to the Apple Watch. As Samsung, Sony and Motorola have discovered, their smartwatches have not done nearly as well as expected. With Apple’s entry into the wearable market, it could stimulate the entire sector and spur much greater consumer interest. That of course, will turn into newer watch models and advanced features.

The Apple Watch will cost $350 and will be available for sale in stores and online in early 2015.

Steve Jobs luxury yacht – Venus

It’s hard to believe it’s already been over a year that Apple’s Steve Jobs passed away, his ultra-luxury yacht is now ready to launch.

After years of secretive designing by Steve Jobs and French designer Phillipe Stack, Feadship shipbuilders in Aalsmeer, Holland have unveiled the sleek looking “Venus.”

Measuring over 70 meters in length and resembling a giant Apple iPhone 4, Venus is a luxury yacht that was built completely out of aluminum. The lighter yacht weight will allow for faster speeds on the open waters and better fuel efficiency.

There is a large sun deck that includes a built in jacuzzi. The ship’s all “floor to ceiling” glass cabin comes is equipped a bridge that features seven 27-inch Apple iMacs to provide the luxury yacht’s navigation and controls.

The impressive ship’s main living area was designed with stunning walls of glass, measuring forty feet long by ten feet high.

During the luxury boat’s christening party, Jobs family members joined the custom yacht builders to celebrate this luxurious vessel. Each member of Feadship shipbuilder team received an Apple iPod Shuffle with the boat’s name “Venus” engraved on the back.

It was a sad day when the iconic tech guru and Apple visionary Steven Jobs passed away, but his legacy as the driving force behind Apples will live on forever.

Apple

On Monday, Apple’s stock hit a all-time record share price of $663.23. The result was a significant event for the mega hi-tech company, but another major milestone was achieved.

The market value grew to a staggering $622 billion, which surpassed the previous $618.9 billion record held by Microsoft back in 1999.

Apple now becomes the most valuable company of all time, and is on tear rolling out millions of iPhones and iPads to a tech-starved world. At the end of 2011, Apple became the most valuable company and now is worth about 54% higher than Exxon Mobile Corp who is #2.

The meteoric rise of Apple’s stock is incredible. Back in 2004, Apple had a market capitalization value of only $10 billion. Just three years ago, Apple’s valuation was about $100 billion.

Apple’s stock had pulled back from his previous high about four months, but is on fire once again. What is fueling the recent surge appears to be the optimism of two new product launches – the iPhone 5 and a smaller and less expensive version of the successful iPad.

Does Apple’s stock price still have room to rise even further. Many stock market experts say yes. The company’s price-to-earnings ratio for the prior 12 months is 15.6. This is surprisingly lower than the overall S&P 500.
