 __**Evolution of Apple**__

 What is the history of Apple? How has the iPhone camera change from blurry to being able to see right up the nose clearly?

How has apple change their computers to being 48 lbs. to being 2.96 lbs.? How has Apple changed the way we use technology today? Before Apple became more popular, it was just a company that sold regular at home computers with a keyboard, a mouse etc... And now they sell touchable devices with high resolution camera. Apple has change the way we use technology in the following ways: 1) IT allows us to use touch screen technology which makes using their products more user friendly; 2) Better camera: Allowing us to see better; 3)Portable devices. According to Mary Bellis in “The History of Computers” on April fool’s day 1976, Steve Wozniak and Steve jobs released a new product, the first apple computer, and that’s where the beginning of apple products began. “With the 1984 Apple Macintosh Steve Jobs made sure developers created software for the new Macintosh Computer. Jobs figured that software was the way to win the consumer over.”

 Apple changed the way we use technology today because it allows us to use touchscreen technology which makes using their products more user friendly. To commence, according to Mashable.com in “The touching History of Touchscreen Tech” it states “The Company did not invent the touchscreen but innovated it” The first touchscreen ever developed was the 1969 Patent. However the patent could only read one touch at a time and was used for air traffic. Secondly, the Macintosh computers allow us to browse with the touch of a finger and play games with the motion built inside. According to the company itself, Apple.com, they iterate that the iMac is better than any computer made so far. Its features are updated such as the camera, apps, speed and more. The iMac is also able to respond to more than one touch at a time. Lastly, Apple has iCloud

which allows you to store your content and lets you access your music, photos, calendars, contacts, documents, and more from whatever device you’re on. For example, if you take a picture with your iPhone or make changes to your meeting schedule on your iPad, iCloud makes sure everything appears on your Mac too according to the company itself. It’s more users friendly and makes your job easier .

Apple changed the way we used technology today by allowing us to use activated voice control that answers to our command. That voice control name is Siri. According to Apple.com Siri is the intelligent personal assistant that helps you get things done just by asking. It allows you to use your voice to send messages, schedule meetings, place phone calls, and more. But Siri isn’t like traditional voice recognition software that requires you to remember keywords and speak specific commands. Siri understands your natural speech, and it asks you questions if it needs more information to complete a task. To use siri you hold your home button and ask for anything such as best restaurants, send messages etc. and siri will match the best answers possible. Not only does this company allow you to talk to it, it actually talks back for instance if you command siri to call your mom the voice control may answer back what time?” Secondly, Siri allows you to do more than one thing at a time. For instance if you are playing a game on your phone or tablet, and you’re playing at a high score and you receive a text message, you can hold your button to contact siri and tell the personal assistant to text that person back saying what you wanted. Lastly siri is an intelligent assistant. While using siri, you do not have to come up with your vocabulary for the system to work. Siri's intelligence understands everything and anything you say according to resources.

 Apple has changed the use of technology by the allowing us to see the camera better. To commence, when the company first started, their camera was less than 3.0 megapixels. As the iPhones began to become more popular and they began making more, the apple company then bumped up their camera view. [|The iPhone 3GS camera was then 3.2 megapixels. When the iPhone 4 launched in 2011, they bumped up their camera view to 5.0 megapixels. Later when the iPhone 4s launched the megapixels were bumped to 8 and remained that amount in the iPhone 5.] From the beginning of apple, too currently you can see a big difference in the camera going from blur to seeing right up the nose. Secondly, apple came up with an innovation called “Facetime.” FaceTime is a video chat application developed by Apple. FaceTime remains available only to users of Apple products. Specifically, you can use FaceTime from your iPhone 4, iPad 2, iPod Touch, or Mac computer, and you’ll need to be contacting someone on one of these devices as well. However, Apple has priced the FaceTime app so low (currently just 99 cents), that it’s clearly trying to encourage all Apple users to adopt this software for their video deo chat, even if they can only talk to other Mac devices/users with it. FaceTime allows you to be in “two different places at the same time” which means a video chat that allows you to be at one place and seem like you’re with that person because its 8 megapixels camera allows you to see right up the nose. However, FaceTime is built into apple devices but Wi-Fi is needed to display this. Lastly the iPhone 5 camera is better than anything yet says the apple company. The 8MP iSight camera on iPhone 5 has improved HDR capabilities for better color and tone and reduced motion blur. Even in a dark place, the iSight camera catches beautifully detailed shots. It also shoots panorama photos. The camera of the first iPhone camera to the iPhone 5s camera has evolved for better and a better sight.

The apple company changed from worse to better. Every time something new launches fans are asking for more. According to many sources and the company itself “Apple is just getting started with their products.
