Apple Inc. Weekly Roundup: Facebook Ads & iPad 4

The main highlight of the week for Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) was its episode with Facebook when Tim Cook made a statement regarding the social network. He said that Facebook imposes ads on its customers, which spoils the whole experience of social networking.

Zuckerberg also stated that Apple’s management was quite distant when it comes to connecting with its customers.

Ever since iPhone 6’s release, Apple has been struggling to meet the demand of the consumers; in fact, Apple runs out of stock every now and then. 42 percent of iPhones haven’t even been made available for sale yet. Now after witnessing the impact the available 58 percent had on the market, the company would be eager to meet all the demand as soon as possible. With the holiday season upon us, Apple must be doing everything to make the most of it.

In other news, Apple resolved to raise the bar with the new iPad mini 4 by upping its specifications and making it thinner. The reason Apple has opted for iPad mini 4 is because the previous models in the miniseries didn’t do much for customers. Apple has made sure that the mini 4 covers all the loopholes that were present in the previous models. iPad mini 4 along with iPad Air Plus is Apple’s last chance at reviving the iPad series.
