The 6 things that Apple wants to eliminate from our smartphone – Panorama

If ever you find yourself walking around the parks in Espoo, Finland, you may encounter some old retired executive of the division Devices and Services of Nokia. It will tell you about that in the nineties and for most of the millennium it was the largest company of mobile phones in the world. A battleship that seemed unsinkable, at least until the arrival of Apple .

A good story without a happy ending, from which one can only learn a lesson: no one is in the technological world safe, especially when you live in a habitat populated by big fish and perpetually hungry.

So, following announcements of WWDC, the traditional conference for developers of Apple, many was spontaneous, spare a thought for all those organizations Olympus technology that in one way or another are now trajectory of Cupertino. The news that Apple will introduce within iOS 9 fact seem clearly designed to destroy, or at least weaken, products, services and utilities in the digital world that enjoy a certain popularity.

Below we explain what are and what are likely with the release of the new operating system of Apple pocket [Scroll Next to continue].

Google Maps

Apple has a real obsession: to develop maps that are more precise, efficient and attractive than those offered by Google. So far – for admission of the vertices of Cupertino – the battle has been uneven, but over time the gap could dwindle. The release of iOS 9 could represent in this sense a turning point: the service will be enhanced with the directions in real-time public transport . It begins with a score of cities – including New York, San Francisco, Bejing, London and Berlin – but the goal is to map as soon as possible the main metropolitan areas of the planet.

Google Now

The Sibyl of Google, the software that sees and provides reading in thought (and in box mail) users, will from next September his twin iOS. We are talking of ‘ assistant proactive Siri , a digital butler ready to bring forward our demands, such as remembering the departure time to arrive on time for appointments or suggesting addresses to add to an email sent to a contact. Why should we use the new tool of Cupertino instead of the Made in Mountain View? Simple, says Apple: because it works better and especially not divert the personal on the cloud or on any other “beach” outside of the device.

Flipboard

The phone has become our first news organization and Apple has found a way to aggregate our favorite sources in a dynamic archive to browse like a newspaper online. It will be called simply News and the next September (ie since iOS will be officially downloaded) aims to become the new universal aggregator of news for iOS devices. Sound familiar? Flipboard , of course. The popular service created in 2010 for iPad (and then extended to virtually all mobile devices) has so far resisted all attempts of imitation. None of these, however, could rely on the firepower of a company by capitalization of nearly 1,000 billion

Evernote

There are notes and notes. And those of Apple, admittedly, have so far

been quite sparse. With the release of version 9 of iOS, however, a different matter. The California-based company will enrich fact its notebook with a number of new interactive features: in addition to text notes, for example, we can attach images, create lists of things to do and make drawings. Someone from the parts of Rewood City, home to the headquarters of Evernote , is starting in a cold sweat: the risk that the different notepad “smart” on App Store will become obsolete (and unnecessary) is – to put it mildly – quite concrete.

Android

It was one of the hidden desires (but not too) Steve Jobs: destroy Android , an operating system that considered a burglary at the expense of the iPhone. This will have become evidently share his successors and understand once and for all looking at the new tool Move to iOS , an application that aims to make life easier for all those who have always wanted to go to an iPhone, but they have never dared to do it for fear of losing pieces on the street. The new app – Apple promises – will transfer contacts, messages, photos, videos, bookmarks, email, calendars, wallpaper, music from a mobile phone Andorid to an iOS device. With a click, or a little more.

Spotify (and all major streaming services music)

For some time now iTunes does not generate more profits amazing few years ago and the blame is certainly not the low mood of the artists featured in the catalog of Apple. No, to change the rules of the game were all the various music streaming services – from Spotify Deezer, from Tidal to Rdio – that offer music free ride to a certain number per month. Apple, which has no intention of giving to others the control of a market that has seen the birth and growth, ran for cover, crafting an application that may not have an original name – Apple Music – but that certainly has all takes to break through: 9,99 euro per month to access, without limits, to a playlist from about 30 million tracks. Who wants to have a place in the sun in the charming stage of streaming music services is advised: from now will have to deal with the apple.
