EU to hand Apple hefty Irish tax bill

Reuters

EU Orders AAPL.O to Pay Hefty Tax Bill


Recently, Apple-AAPL.Ohad been orderedby the European Commission antitrust regulators to pay up 13 billion euros around $14.5 billion, by way of taxes together with interest to the Irish government after ruling that a special scheme to route profits through Ireland had been illegal state aid. It is said that Commissioner Margrethe Vestager would be holding news conference on antitrust case towards noon (1000 GMT) in Brussels.

In spite of the subject of the case not provided, she was expected to feature her verdict on why a deal which had stimulated the U.S. tech giant to route vast profits through Ireland had broken EU state aid laws apart from government giving some firms unfair advantages.The decision is probably to annoy Washington who hadblamed Brussels of disturbance against the corporate success stories of U.S.

Ireland had been accused by the European Commission in 2014 of evading international tax rules by permitting Apple to house profits amounting to tens of billions of dollars from tax collectors for maintaining jobs. The accusation had been rejected by Apple as well as Ireland and both have stated that they would be appealing any contrary decision.

Decision – Reverse Engineered


The source had mentioned that the Commission would recommend a figure in back taxes, expecting it to be collected though it would be the decision of the Irish authorities to calculate precisely what are maintained. An excess bill of 1 billion euros ($1.12 billion) would have been more far more than the 30 million euros each the EU had earlier ordered the Dutch authorities to pull through, for their tax deals, from U.S. coffee chain Starbucks and Luxembourg from Fiat Chrysler.

 It is said that both the companies have appealed those decisions. In 2014, when it had opened the Apple investigation, the Commission had informed the Irish government that the tax decisions agreed in 1991 and 2007 with the iPhone maker amounted to state aid and could have broken the EU laws.

The Commissioner had mentioned that the decisions were reverse engineered to make sure that Apple had the nominal Irish bill. The minutes of meetings between the representatives of Apple as well as the Irish tax officials had indicated that the tax treatment of the company had been inspired by employment considerations.

EU Executive’s Tax Investigations – Departed from International Taxation Standards


Apple tends to hire 5,500 workers or about a quarter of European based staff in the Irish city of Cork where it seems to be the largest private sector employer stating that it paid 12.5% rate of Ireland on all the income which it tends to generate in the country.

The low corporate tax rate of Ireland which had been a cornerstone of economic policy for 20 years, had drawn investors from most of the important multinational companies, where the staff accounts for nearly one in 10 workers in Ireland. Dublin had been urged by some opposition Irish lawmakers to accumulate whatever tax the Commission tends to order.

 However, the foremost opposition party Fianna Fail, supporting the minority administration relies on passing laws stated that it would assist an appeal depending on the reassurances it had been provided by the government so far. Last week the U.S. Treasury Department had published a white paper which stated that the EU executive’s tax investigations had departed from the international taxations standards and could have been an enormousinfluence on the companies in U.S. The Commission had stated that it tends to treat all companies likewise.

Apple to launch its own reality TV show

Planet Apps

Apple Launching its Reality TV Show


Apple is in the development of launching its own reality TV show – Planet of the Apps and a casting call for the event had been put out recently for developers in the age of 18 and above who would be interested in making smartphone apps for the Apple setting. Apple had made an announcement earlier in the year that it intends launching it first original TV series and now the world seems to know a little more regarding what it would look like.

The show is said to be co-produced by a newly shaped company owned by Ben Silverman, a reality TV guru. Apple had partnered with Propagate, a new production company developed by the guy behind `The Biggest Loser’ together with Howard T Owen who had worked on MasterChef Junior with Musician Will.i.am also on board for the said project.

Mr Silverman had informed that the original program would follow on `how apps are developed and created and incubated’. The pair had drawn their vision for the show, in a report that had been published by tech blog 9to5Mac. It stated that `Planet of the Apps will give app creators the chance to break through and share their ideas with the world. This is an exciting format which taps into what is driving culture today. We can’t wait to see the ground-breaking ideas accepted for the show, grow into viable businesses’.

Pursing an Original Content Division


The ascension of Netflix together with the fragmented market of content providers laid by internet based services has been on the rise in companies interested in producing their own original content. When Apple had stated earlier in the year that it intended creating the TV show, the software and service boss of the company, Eddy Cue had mentioned that Apple was not moving wholesale in the production of innovative content.

 He had informed the New York Times in March that this does not mean that they would go into a huge amount of movie production or TV production or anything like that. But last year, rumours have been doing the rounds that Apple has been discovering the notion of pursuing an original content division and had been in talks with various leading television companies regarding launching an internet-based TV service.

Planet of the App – Accepting Online Applications


There is a possibility that the achievement of the forthcoming show would regulate the extent of the potential venture into original content of Apple. Casting call for the show `Planet of the App’ would be accepting online applications till August 26 together with filming set to take place somewhere next year. As per the show’s website, contestants would be receiving `hand-on guidance from some of the most influential experts in the tech community, featured placement on the App store.

The winners probably will get mentorship from tech and entertainment experts and those who would be chosen for the final round would get an opportunity to meet with top-tier VCs investing around $10m over the course of the season. The show is said to be shot in Los Angeles and is planned to be released in 2017.

Apple Gets Patent for Wrap Around iPhone Screen

Apple Patent

Apple’s Patent for 360-Degree Screen


Apple has been granted a patent recently for a 360 degree screen which would be putting a display on all sides of the iPhone, front/back and slide. The back of the iPhone of Apple would now become a thing of the past due to a wraparound display screen. The application states that `the wraparound display considerably tends to increase the available display area which can be utilised for display of icons, data, video, images and such’. The application of Apple states that the360-degree screen would enable customers to play video games or watch videos which could be played on both ends of the phone.

Moreover it would also display a still photo which could appear in a continuous circle around the iPhone. All the switches which are presently found towards the side of the iPhone would be computer-generated instead of physical buttons as per the patent application. The switches namely the volume control can be extended in size. Details pertaining to the actual plans in incorporating this feature into an upcoming version of an iPhone have not been disclosed in the patent application. Often patent have been approved for inventions which are not brought to the market by the patent holder for motives like the cost of new device or issues in getting it to function in the real world.

One of Multiple Continuations of Original Filing


Apple was seen last month getting inventive with screen settlement in its patent filings with some wild as well as wacky iPad setups. In April of last year and just published, a new patent filed describes a system of building a `portable electronic device with a wraparound display’ which seems silly as well as amazing in alike measure. Though the `new’ is a relative term in patents and Apple had first filed this concept way back in 2011, it was granted in 2014.

This is said to be one of multiple `continuations’ of the original filing. From the contents of the patent, it seems that Apple is not patenting any definite screen technology but instead a manufacturing process which tends to stick a flexible OLED display beneath a seamless piece of glass which wraps all the way around the device. The glass could be opaque in some areas in order to conceal any unsightly seams in the display.

Removable End Cap


Since OLED displays tend to lit up per pixel, any sections of the screen which are hidden by the opaque glass would not be wasting power. There is no example of where a rear facing camera could be on a device, in the drawings, probably under the glass in the back. However one of the possibilities could be of a `removable end cap’ which could be swapped for other modules.

 There are various examples of phone with secondary display towards the back and apparently the clear analog here seems to be Samsung’s Galaxy Edge phone that wrap the screen over the sides. The traditional disclaimer here states that Apple patents plenty of stuff which eventually ends up in a product.

Apple makes its new OS X Yosemite available for free download to first 1 million Mac owners

Apple today released the latest version of its OS X “Yosemite” computer software in beta form.   This is the new tenth version of OS X which will eventually replace “Mavericks.” The beta release is available for download for free on first come first served basis for first 1 million download.  Yosemite is a continuation of Apple’s redesign process of its software across computers and portable devices. 



This is the first time Apple is making the pre-release version available to the public. Earlier, it made the beta versions of both its iOS smartphone and tablet software and its OS X computer software have only been available only to developers for testing ahead of their general releases to the public.

To install the free software users will have to sign up using Apple’s site, as well as have a Mac computer with OS X Mavericks 10.9 installed with at least 2GB of memory and 8GB of free disk space.

Apple has also recommended that those users who want to test the new software do so on a second computer because it could be unstable and cause errors due to its beta form.  Users who do install the beta software will be able to upgrade to the final version of Yosemite on its release in the Autumn.

Apple has made big changes in Yosemite version.  It will bring a total new GUI to users making it much closer to the iOS version on the smart phones. Apple has also added features that tie the two devices together ie the iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch and the Mac.  This feature is known as “Continuity” and will  allows users to send files back and forth between the two.

Another feature Yosemite brings is that users of Apple’s iPhone will also be able to place and answer calls on their desktop computers.

Those who are interested in the free download or for beta testing can do so here.

Apple's CarPlay: What You Need to Know



Crply09878070
Image: Apple
Apple finally took the wraps off its in-car software platform, CarPlay on Monday. Now that that we've had some time to take a look at its particulars, it's time to delve into exactly what this new mobile environment means for the drivers and automakers alike.
“iPhone users always want their content at their fingertips," said Greg Joswiak, Apple’s vice president of iPhone and iOS product marketing, in a statement. "CarPlay lets drivers use their iPhone in the car with minimized distraction."
See also: 7 Head-Turning Wearables We Saw This Week
We won't see a public demonstration of the system until March 6 at the Geneva Motor Show, so details on CarPlay's performance are scant. With that in mind, here's what we know so far based on the information available.

Who It's For

The system will only work with iPhones that have the Lightning port connector — which means if you have anything older than an iPhone 5, you won't be able to use CarPlay. Also, while the iPad now sports the Lightning connector, Apple doesn't list it as one of the approved devices, which could mean that this will be an iPhone-only service.

How It Works

CarPlay lets you transfer some of the most basic functions on your iPhone to your car's dashboard. Among the features are iOS system tools such as Siri, iTunes, Maps and Messages. CarPlay also allows the user to make hands-free phone calls and listen to voice mails.
To access any of the features, you touch the dashboard screen directly, just as you would on the iPhone. To minimize visual distractions during driving, Siri can also be accessed via a voice control button on the steering wheel.
CarPlay Maps

This last point is particularly important given the strict rules surrounding using your smartphone while driving. Still, a case that made news last week, in which a court ruled that it was okay to check a smartphone map while driving, indicates that the law may gradually be shifting to accommodate smart cars.

Which Cars Will Have It

The first cars to get CarPlay are, predictably, in the luxury class. They include Mercedes Benz, Ferrari and Volvo. All three automobile brands will debut their CarPlay-enabled vehicles this week in Geneva.
Other automobile brands confirmed for inclusion in the CarPlay rollout are BMW, Toyota, GM, Honda, Hyundai, Jaguar Land Rover, Kia, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Peugeot, Subaru, Suzuki, Toyota and Ford. That last one is particularly interesting, considering that Ford has been aggressively working to promote its own in-car software system, Sync (more on that later).
Apple has not indicated when these other automobile brands will launch their CarPlay vehicles.

Can Other Apps Play In CarPlay?

By now, it's obvious that the killer app for any in-car software system is mapping and navigation. And while the Apple Maps app has improved greatly since its launch, Google Maps is still the gold standard. So will Apple allow Google Maps onto its CarPlay system? We've reached out to the company to find out, but it isn't saying anything yet.
Assuaging users who were angry about the removal of Google Maps from iOS is one thing. The notion that it might include a major rival like Google on its product in an entirely new market, cars, may be expecting too much from Apple at this point.
The iOS system apps-only environment of CarPlay is likely to stay that way, at least until Apple has a chance to get a firm grip on exactly what drivers want. That will only happen over time, as more and more CarPlay-enabled vehicles become available over the next couple of years.

CarPlay vs. the Competition

Seamless in-car app systems are still a relatively young market, with no one player emerging as a clear-cut winner yet. But CarPlay does have at least two serious competitors to consider.
Ford's SYNC, like CarPlay, is designed to provide a hands-free in-car entertainment system with the ability to make phone calls, read your incoming text messages aloud and play music. Unlike CarPlay, SYNC allows third-party map navigation apps onto its platform, such as TomTom and Telenav's Scout app.
Ford SYNC

Ford SYNC dashboard


In January, Ford announced a major app development program to drive the growth of its platform. Based on recent comments, however, Ford isn't interested in any kind of in-car platform war. Following the CarPlay announcement, a Ford spokesperson indicated in one report that the company intends to work with Apple as well as Microsoft in the development of in-car software solutions.
Another major player could be Google's leaked Projected Mode in-car system, a system that will reportedly integrate Android smartphones with a vehicle's dashboard system. This appears to be how the company's Android in the Car initiative will work, and it could be gearing up for a big unveiling at Google I/O in June.
There's very little information available regarding exactly what Projected Mode is capable of, but considering Google's advanced work on automated car systems, and continued development of Android as a mobile platform, it would be foolish to ignore such a potentially powerful in-car system, even sight unseen.
It's too early in the in-car platform wars to determine how this may all shake out. But in the meantime, Apple's CarPlay looks like an attractive, and refreshingly simple first step for the uninitiated into the world of in-car software systems. If the trajectory of the mobile phone platform wars is any indication, this kind of early intense competition will be very good for drivers.
