Looks like innovation’s only going to get you so far – the world’s most innovative company seems to be losing its sheen with every passing month. But the only way out, according to analysts, could be the release of the iPad 5 and iPad Mini 2 soon. While rumors about the iWatch and iPhone 6 are doing the rounds, bringing out the tablets is the only way to fend off increasing competition from Android, they say. On the positive front, yes, Apple still does enjoy the lead in the tablet market. And to maintain this lead, the company will do well to focus on bringing out truly spectacular tablets. We don’t quite expect anything flamboyant in the form of the iPhone 6 that could possibly bring Samsung down, even if iOS 7 turns out to be radically different from the current version of the iOS. Of course, analysts maintain that [+more]

The Apple iPad may be enjoying a comfortable lead in the tablet market, but we’ve just found a key reason for Apple to start worrying about losing to its rivals like the Microsoft Surface, Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 and the Sony Xperia Z tablets. The Surface Pro, even though is a terrific piece of technology, hasn’t quite managed to make a mark yet, but there’s a key strength that it has against the iPad, as do its other competitors – that of multitasking. Even though there’s no doubting the robustness and smoothness of the iOS experience, there’s really no way to run numerous apps on the iPad efficiently. On the other hand, Microsoft has put in the Snap View feature in its tablet, which lets users split the screen between two apps in a 70:30 ratio – this could soon turn into 50:50 with Windows Blue. The Galaxy Note 8.0 [+more]

The rumor is that new iMacs  would hit the Indian market today.  Though there are some sources who are still not sure about  the rumour. They are saying that it will take about 20 days before iMac land in India. The sources have also informed that macs will launch in Indian on same day as in US but stocks will hit the market a little later than US. This has been a trend since the last few years. And this is applicable only to the Macs, and not other iOS devices. When Apple announces iOS devices and provides a launch date, the products launch on that date itself. If you are hoping that you will get your hands on iMac from the official website then also you may have to wait for some time.

If recent analyst reports are to be believed, the introduction of iPad Mini into the market could take away almost 1 million potential iPad customers. While everyone’s looking forward to Apple’s upcoming release as the perfect answer to the growing competition from Google Nexus and Amazon Kindle Fire tablets, analysts have predicted that it could even pull away customers from spending too much money on the iPad. According to a recent report from Piper Jaffray, the iPad Mini is expected to launch on November 2, and sell around 5 million pieces by the end of this year. However, this could cost Apple a loss of revenue on at least 1 million 9.7-inch sized iPads. The firm expects the iPad Mini to corner 25% of Apple’s revenues from tablet sales, and has even predicted a larger sales estimate for iPads in 2013. The firm also believes that the optimal pricing for [+more]
