40 Years. Believe it or not.

Apple turns 40 years old.

Yesterday, Apple turned 40 years old. It's hard to believe a company started in a garage by 2 college students,  later became the biggest company of all time.

All look back. At The big things.

Macintosh - The Macintosh was the first BIG product from Apple. It was announced in the Flint Center, incredibly close to the Cupertino Campus. It was announced on January 24th, 1984. It was the first ever computer to feature a graphical UI and made the mouse big.

iPod - The iPod changed the Music Industry. Even if it might not have a huge place today, it was the biggest thing ever back in the day. It was announced in Apple's own Campus in October of 2001.

iPhone - 'The Phone that has changed phones forever.'. It's true. Today we wouldn't see touch screen phones all around us if the iPhone didn't come. It was announced at Macworld in January of 2007.

iPad - When Steve Jobs announced the iPad, he said it was the product in between the laptop and the smartphone. The perfect device for reading the web, e-mails, watching movies, videos, TV-Shows etc. It introduced a new category it the industry, called 'Tablets.' It was introduced in January of 2010.

Apple Watch - Although the Apple Watch did not do as well as Apple intended it to, I think it will become a big success once the next version is released. Recently, Apple Watch had received a price cut, from $349 to $299. It was a smart move. This could also mean a new version is coming soon...

40 Years in 40 Seconds.

At the beginning of the March 21 Apple Event, Apple showed a short 40 second video reflecting on the previous 40 years.

Apple has started production of iPhone SE in India. Shipping later in May.

This post is taken from  9to5Mac . In the US, the  iPhone SE sells in two flavors , a 32 GB and 128 GB model for $399 and $499 respectively. Third-party Indian resellers already undercut that price point, selling iPhone SE around the $320 mark. Apple was  effectively forced into setting up domestic manufacturing  in order to launch Indian retail stores, as India laws state that companies wanting a retail presence must source at least 30% of their goods locally. According to the Wall Street Journal, government officials hope to see the India iPhone SE sell for even less in its home country. There are obviously some cost savings for Apple to take advantage of by producing domestically and local government reportedly believes Apple could sell its iPhone for as low as $220 (converted to Indian currency). Apple typically does not like to price its devices differently based on region, however, so final pricing is unknown. However, Apple may be more lenient with its pr
