Apple Loop: A no-go On Tesla, Healthy Wearables, Unhealthy iOS, Samsung Gets Nasty, Steve Jobs Goes communicating

Keeping you within the loop on some of the terribly several things that happened around Apple over the past fortnight.

The rubber doesn't meet the road. Apple chief operating officer Tim Cook met with Tesla chief operating officer Elon Musk and talked regarding operating along — not whether or not Apple would acquire the electrical manufacturing business, folks at home with the discussion told Pine Tree State. Musk has publically confirmed meeting with Apple last year, however pushed aside speculation that Tesla was available. “We had conversations with Apple. I can’t discuss whether or not those rotated around any quite acquisition,” Musk aforesaid in AN interview with Bloomberg News, before adding that it had been “very unlikely” that Tesla would be nonheritable — by anyone. “I suppose that’s not possible as a result of we want to remain super centered on achieving a compelling…creating a compelling mass market machine. And I’d be terribly involved in any quite acquisition state of affairs, whoever it's, that’d be become distracted from that – from that task that has continually been the – the driving goal of Tesla.” thus what did Cook and Musk speak about? attainable ways in which Apple’s mobile technology (iPhone, iPad, Siri, iTunes Radio) could be employed in Tesla’s cars. (In case you didn’t apprehend, the Tesla Model S includes a digital dashboard targeted around a 17-inch touchscreen.) Despite the breathless speculation regarding Apple building AN “iCar” and Cook’s comments that Apple would think about giant acquisitions, I can’t see them ponying up the greenbacks to shop for Tesla (which includes a market cap of $25.7 billion) — a corporation outside their space of experience. Besides, Cook drives AN Audi.

Taking flight — TestFlight. And whereas a acquisition of Tesla isn’t happening, Apple did pay a number of its $160 billion in money last week to accumulate Burstly, parent company of a preferred iOS mobile app testing platform referred to as TestFlight. Apple confirmed the deal to TechCrunch, however didn’t disclose details, saying, because it continually will, “Apple buys smaller technology corporations from time to time, and that we typically don't discuss our purpose or plans.” As for why Apple would wish TestFlight, sounds like its adding some tools to its mobile developer kit. “TestFlight lets developers knowledge their in-app purchases and advertisements were activity. It conjointly provides developers different insights, like what version of Apple’s iOS mobile software package folks area unit victimization, or why their apps could have crashed throughout use,” in line with Re/Code. TestFlight conjointly worked on automaton apps, however the corporate is ending support for Google’s mobile OS as of March twenty one as a result of it’s “refocusing” on iOS. massive surprise — not. By the way, Cook aforesaid recently that Apple has bought twenty one corporations within the past fifteen months. unfortunate Nest, that visited Google for $3.2 billion, wasn’t among them.

Wearables watch. The Tesla-Apple meeting was 1st disclosed by the urban center Chronicle, that conjointly aforesaid that Apple is deeply inquisitive about heart-related medical devices. The newspaper points to a Dec. thirteen meeting between Apple operations chief Jeff Williams and government agency chief Dr. Margaret metropolis and Dr. Jeffrey Shuren, World Health Organization oversees agency approval for medical devices, to debate “mobile medical applications.” That meeting was listed in government agency records. Apple might also be acting on sensing element technology which will facilitate predict heart attacks, the Chron says. A team diode by Tomlinson Holman, a famed audio engineer World Health Organization made-up THX and ten.2 surround sound, “is exploring ways in which to predict heart attacks by learning the sound blood makes at it flows through arteries.” Apple’s interest in health technical school (and wearables) has been building for the past year because the company has swollen its team to incorporate health and doctors. although Apple hasn’t aforesaid something regarding it, 9to5Mac.com has been keeping tabs and offers a handy list of the specialists acting on Apple’s wearable efforts, together with fitness knowledgeable Jay Blahnik, sleep research worker Roy J.E.M. Raymann, and hardware engineer city Dougherty, World Health Organization worked on medical sensors at Proteus.
