1. Smaller Size is Portable:

The main idea behind the production of a tablet as small as 7 inches is the portability issue. The 9.7 inch tablet by Apple available in the market could not make many sales mainly because people could not carry such a big tablet along with them anywhere. Hence, anticipating the need of the market, Apple produced this 7 inch tablet. Since it is smaller, it is lighter and thinner as well. These properties are sure to grab the attention of the customers.

2. Comparatively Lower Price than Other Apple Products:

All those tech enthusiasts who were craving for Apple iPad equipped with the iOS 6, but cannot afford it due to its high price; Apple has come up with a nice alternative in the form of iPad mini – the smaller version of the full size iPad. Now, you can have Apple iPad mini in just a few hundred bucks, which isn’t very costly. The cost factor would definitely play an important role in booming up the sales of the device. A larger number of customers would be tempted to buy the product.

3. Holiday Season is the Perfect Time to Launch:

According to some recent reports, it has come up that Apple is planning to launch iPad mini somewhere between the late October and the early November. And, there is a nice reason behind it. As Thanksgiving Day is near, and holidays are approaching, people generally buy newer products during holidays. So, iPad mini would be their first preference if they are looking for a tablet to buy. Apple has given a nice thought to capture all the holiday rush, and if it works, the product would make really big sales which would benefit the company a lot.

4. New Customers would be Attracted:

There may be many other tablets present in the market till date. But, nothing could beat the Apple iPad. But, all the customers cannot buy it due to its very high price. The customers go for alternatives instead, choosing the Google Nexus 7 or the Amazon’s Kindle Fire. Now that the Apple have come up with iPad mini, which is budget friendly, customers would be attracted towards it automatically. And those customers, who have been waiting for iPad mini and did not go for the Nexus 7 by Google or the Kindle Fire by Amazon, would be delighted to know about this product.

5. Heavy Promotion makes it Inevitable for Customers to Notice it:

As soon as any Apple product is launches, commercials pop up within just a few hours of the launch, newspapers and print media come up with a number of ads of the new product, PR machine is enhanced and many more things are done to get the device promoted to a very large extent. IPad mini by Apple is sure to grab the attention of gadget enthusiasts across the globe if such a heavy promotion is done. And, sales are directly linked with the promotion. Heavier the promotion better would be the sales.

6. Competitors Have Already Played Their Part

Can you believe that the Apple’s greatest competitors in the market – Google as well as Amazon, have played a vital role in enhancing the popularity of the iPad mini, even before its release in the market. Before Nexus 7 and Kindle Fire, people did not buy smaller sized tablets. But, when they did arrive, people were attracted towards the features and functionalities they could offer. And, if Google and Amazon had such features to provide, people would definitely wonder, Apple would provide them something better. This has opened up the ways of popularity for the Apple’s iPad mini, which is a very good thing for the company.

7. Hardware is Worth the Price:

The Apple’s products always have a great hardware. Same would be true in the case of iPad mini. Dual cameras, a retina display screen, a superb design and many other specs and features of the device have attracted the tech enthusiasts and given the price of the product, the hardware embedded in it is awesome. This is one thing that would make customers buy this device if they want to buy a tablet for long term use.

8. Enterprise Would Accept it Readily:

With the earlier full size version of the iPad by Apple, mobility and portability were great issues. Even then, it was adopted by the enterprise in large numbers and iPad could make heavy sales. With the launch of iPad mini by Apple, even the problem of portability and mobility is resolved. Hence, this newer and smaller product by Apple is expected to be adopted by the enterprise in numbers still stronger than those of the iPad. Hence, the device is sure to make a big number of sales.

9. Rumours Play an Important Role:

Whether you know or not, the more you discuss about something, the more it gets popular in the market. Same is the case with the Apple’s iPad mini. There are numerous rumours spreading everyday about the device. Some of them might be false. But at least, it comes in news when people talk about it. Some people would definitely want to see whether the device is exactly like they have assumed or it is different. Hence, its popularity is automatically increased. Rumours play an important part, seriously.

10. Apple Knows How To Boost Up Its Sales:

Apple is a big company, a very big company indeed. Hence, petty things such as rumours cannot affect this company. When the idea of a 7 inch tablet came up within the company, there has to be some reason behind it. Whatever the rumours say, Apple surely would have thought of a strategy till now by which it can maximise the sales of the product and outshine the Google’s Nexus 7 and the Amazon’s Kindle Fire. So, we don’t know what Apple is doing but Apple is sure about what it is doing and what would benefit it most.

10. Do Not Disturb

This is one of the important features added in iOS 6. With the help of “Do Not Disturb” feature, you can silence all the calls and notifications and you will not be disturbed any further.

When you will receive call then you will see a new icon which was not there previously and once you click on it you will be asked to either send a message or to set a remainder.

7. A Social Photo Stream

Just like all the social networking sites where you share your photos and your friend like or comment on it, the new iOS 6 has the feature to share photos with the contacts that you have through the photo stream option. You and all your friends with whom you have shared the photo can like and comment on it. When anyone will like or comment on your photo, you will be updated by a notification. It also has options to directly share your photos on Facebook and Twitter.

6. Passbook

Passbook is another important application that has been added in iOS 6. With the help of passbook you can easily manage all your coupons, movie tickets, bar-codes, travel tickets, boarding passes and all other files that you used to find difficult to manage. All these will be stored at a separate place called as a passbook. Whenever you are in a need to access any of them, just go to passbook and you will find your files there.  Most important of all is that your file will appear as a notification to remind you of its time to be used so that you don’t forget.

5. Panorama

The amazing Panorama mode has been added to the camera in iOS 6 and that is simply an amazing feature. At once you can simply take a snap up to 240 degree. The panorama mode is compatible with both iPhone 5 and iPhone 4S and also with iPod touch which are of fifth generation. You can enable this feature in the setting options of the camera and can enjoy taking photos with a span of 240 degree. That’s something new and never been introduced in any of the smartphones that are available in the market today.

4. 3G FaceTime

Earlier the Apple users were using FaceTime feature only on the Wi-Fi but now with the launch of iOS 6, they can use this much used feature over the cellular data. You can now use the 3G or the 4G network whichever is available in your area to use this amazing feature. You don’t have to rely anymore on Wi-Fi for using FaceTime. If you enable the “Use Mobile Data” option in the FaceTime setting then the availability of this application will entirely depend upon the cellular data that you use and you can easily access it.

3. Facebook Integration

Twitter was integrated with the apple operating system with the launch of iOS 5. Since then there was a huge demand to integrate Facebook in the iOS and that demand has been readily accepted and so the Facebook is now been officially part of iOS 6. You can now easily update your status or can share anything you wish to just by just tapping on Facebook share button. Moreover you can also use integrate Siri to carry out your works on Facebook. Just talk to Siri and ask it to update your status and that will be done. For this start Siri and then speak “Post to Facebook”. Everything else that you speak after it will be posted on your wall. Facebook options now can be accessed very easily.

2. Smarter Siri

This is one of the features that have been updated the most with this new operating system of Apple. Now it is even more interesting to talk to Siri. Apart from iPhone, Siri has also been introduced for iPads and iPod Touch. This smarter Siri now has the option to search people and places around the world. Moreover Facebook has also integrated with Siri which enables user to access Facebook using Siri. Siri also provides information about sports leagues that are integrated with it. Now applications can also be launched using Siri. Tweeter can also be used using Siri. Siri has been made to read even the notifications.

1. Maps App

The map application is surely the most important change that has been made in the Apple’s new operating system. With launch of iOS 6, Apple has finally distanced itself from Google. New map application has been launched with the collaboration with TomTom and OpenStreetMaps. Different views are available such as Satellite view, 3D view and Flyover View. The user has the option to select the view as per his/her wish. Apple has also added the turn by turn feature with voice prompts and this has been applauded by every critics. With new updates, the new map app will surely be a pleasure to use.

iOS 6 looks extremely solid as  a Mobile Phone OS and we don’t see it getting much competition from the Upcoming Smartphones in Windows 8 segment or Android’s.

10. SCREW CHARITY

Steve Jobs was neither poor nor bankrupt but still he did not believe in giving money as charity or helping any charitable institutions. His intelligence and different thinking paved his way to success and finally he became the CEO of Apple. He sometimes used to donate for philanthropic programs but after reaching to such a great height he even stopped that. Jobs always wished to remain out all the matters concerning charity and always answered needy to wait till they are profitable.

9.  STEVE’S FIRST DATE, MARRIAGE AND CHILDREN

Jobs dated a folk singer Joan Baez for the first time in his 20’s. Soon after the date a rumor had spread all around revealing that Jobs had a fling with Baez. During his MBA from Stanford Business School, Jobs met Laurene Powell and the two married in 1991 solemnized in the presence of Kobin Chino, a Zen Buddhist monk. Jobs kept his marriage out of public’s eye. And soon he became the father of three children. But when Jobs was of 23, he and his high school girl friend Chris Ann Brennan conceived a daughter named Lisa Brennan Jobs.

8. WAS A PESCETARIAN

Pescetarians are not technically vegetarians but are those who abstain from eating all meat and animal flesh with the exception of fish. Steve Jobs was a kind of pescetarian. It is believed that he chose this way because of his interest in Buddhist teachings. He used to eat all the things a vegetarian eats including eggs and dairy products.  PETA praised Jobs for his vegetarianism and his support of animals. Jobs followed this kind of diet for many years but still his actual diet plan is not openly known.

7. WAS A ZEN BUDDHIST

This is one the strange fact about Steve Jobs that he was a Zen Buddhist. Steve had immense faith in the teachings of his guru, Kobin Chino, a Zen monk. His guru married him and his wife. Jobs belief in Buddhism was so deep that he even thought of joining a monastery. His strong religiousness made him to think of becoming a monk. He stated in some of his interviews that he feels very relieved while sitting with Zen group. Since Buddhism is all about non-attachment, pain and devotion, it was difficult for the people to believe that one of the world’s wealthiest people is also a serious Buddhist.

6. STEVE VOWED TO DESTROY GOOGLE

Steve jobs was in great anger after the launch of HTC’s 2010 Android phone on Google platform. The main reason behind this as stated in the Walter Issacson’s Steve Jobs Biography is the features. Android contains many features which were already present in iPhone. Jobs even had a meeting with Google’s Eric Schmidt warning him to stop using their ideas in Android. He also stated that he can spend every single penny of Apple to right this wrong. He told that this ‘stolen product’ force him to wish for a big thermonuclear war among both the companies.

5. DYSLEXIC AND PSYCHEDELIC

The biggest psychological history of Steve Jobs that is uncommon among people is that he suffered from dyslexia that is he was not able to read, write and understand the characters easily. Other than this he was also a psychedelic. Jobs started using a LSD (Lysergic Acid Diethylamide) drug from a very younger age. He found it as one of the most important thing he had done in his life. He believed that his innate intelligence combined with the LSD brought him out of normal frame of reference and developed a unique perspective of thinking.

4. MONA SIMPSON…STEVE’S SISTER

Steve in his 20’s when was gathering information about his estranged parents he also came to know about his sister Mona Simpson. She is a very renowned and a successful novelist. They both were lived as strangers till 90’s though they worked in completely different areas like one was into technology while other is an author.  In her first novel, ‘Anywhere But Here’, she wrote about her relationship with her parents and it was the party for the success of this book which gave a chance to both brother and sister to meet for the first time. Mona dedicated this book to her brother Steve. And later, Jobs used to tell a something about both of them in his interviews.

3. BREAKOUT GAME

Despite of superb inventions in mobile technology Steve Jobs also innovated a Pong like video game ‘BREAKOUT’ in 1975 which was most loved by first generation Atari users. A very good friend of Steve Jobs named Steve Wozniak helped him in his challenge. Jobs was offered 750 dollars for this game work. In addition to it there was possibility of extra $100 for each chip eliminated from the game’s final design.  Atari gave extra 5,000 dollars as bonus to Wozniak for his good prototype’s design but Jobs gave him only $375 and lied to him.

2. DROPPED OUT OF  COLLEGE

After completing his graduation from high school Homestead High School in Cupertino, California, Steve Jobs joined Portland’s Reed College in 1972 as a Liberal Art Student. Though he was financially very week he was dropped from college just after the completion of one semester that is only six months. Jobs forced his parents to admission him to that college but unfortunately his day-by-day reduced interest towards books and financial constraints took him out of Reed College. But Steven found a very good friend Steve Wozniak (another dropped out fellow) and they both together started Apple. Steven led a very poor life during this period as he stated in the 2005 commencement at Stanford University.

1. EARLY LIFE

Steve Jobs was born on February 24, 1955 in San Francisco, California. As an infant, he was put up for adoption and soon he was adopted by a working couple named Clara and Paul Jobs residing within California’s Silicon Valley. His adoptive mother Clara worked as an accountant while Paul Jobs was a Coast Guard expert and a laser company machinist. They gave him the name ‘Steven Paul Jobs’. At a very early childhood age, Jobs developed a hobby of working with electronic gadgets. Class mates of Steve were afraid of him because during the school days Steve had weird nature as he used to leave snakes and bombs in classrooms. Still he was known for his intelligence and innovation all the time. At the age of 26, he discovered that his birth parents were Abdul Fattah John Jandali and Joanne Simpson. His estranged mother was a speech therapist while father was a Syrian political science professor.
