Another New Record By Apple: Apple Stock Price Reaches $500

Apple has perhaps one of the most turbulent history of all the tech companies. It rose to stardom, then declined down to near-nothing and have yet again risen to ever-greater heights. Right now, Apple has steadily surpassed nearly all rival tech companies in terms of sales volume, profits and overall revenue. Wall Street has been speculative about Apple but apparently, this new bit of news should placate them: Apple’s stock price has hit $500, setting a new record.

Apple’s iPad Devices Pull Off Shelf In China

Apple has been entangled in a dispute with Shenzhen Proview Technology over the use of term ‘iPad.’ Proview had earlier claimed that it had rights over the term and that Apple was illegally using it. Apple then countered this by stating that it had purchased the rights to use this term by purchasing it from another company which, in turn, had bought it from Proview. Now, apparently, the authorities have determined that the rights of the purchase Apple made doesn’t extend to China and Proview indeed has a valid claim. Chinese authorities have started seizing iPad devices from the market.

Apple’s iPad has a market share of 70 to 80 percent in the Korean market.

This time, the company that owns the ITV trademark, British TV network, warned Apple not to infringe its rights. The warning was issued two years ago, before the hype on the upcoming Apple smart television, and apparently Apple reassured the British company that they wouldn’t get into a legal fight over the name.

iPad 3 Will Lead To 1080p iTunes Content And A New AppleTV

iPad 3 is all set to launch in the next month. What we can say with a certain sense of certainty about it is that it will have a display resolution of 2048*1536. This ultra-high resolution display can display 1080p content very easily. The problem, however, is that iTunes content does not exceed 720p and this goes the same for Apple TV. So will Apple make changes to both these platforms to make them compatible with iPad 3? It seems so.
