Apple Watch Trumps All Other Smartwatches In Market Share: Two-Thirds Of All Shipments

Canalys market research has revealed the top four most purchased smartwatches of 2015. Thanks to a huge boost in demand, Apple bested its rivals and got the first place by securing two-thirds of the global market share.

A market analysis report shows that when comparing the myriad of smartwatches and wearables on the market, it was the Apple Watch that dominated the past year.

Canalys, an independent analyst company, delivered its smartwatch report for 2015, and figures show that Apple not only outclassed its rivals, but its own sales predictions, as well.

According to the report, 12 million smartwatches from Apple reached their buyers during 2015. That is 5 million more than the initial prediction of 7 million Apple Watch units in November 2015. The market analysis company identifies the reason for the surge in demand.

The number of smartwatches purchased last year was about 18 million, meaning that Apple got 66 percent of the market with its 12 million sold devices. To make the iPhone developer even more badass, know that Apple Watch entered the arena in April 2015, with a four month delay behind other manufacturers which rolled out their smartwatches as early as January.

The runner-ups for the best sold smartwatch came from Samsung, Pebble and Huawei. The Gear 2 fared better in sales than its previous variants, keeping Samsung in the second place. Third position went to Pebble, and fourth to Huawei.

It remains to be seen whether or not the new Apple Watch models set to launch in March, and the Apple Watch 2,rumored to arrive this September, would be able to keep the company's sales as high as last year.

Apple Drone

Here's what an Apple drone might look like Many major tech companies are eyeing drones — Amazon, Google and even Facebook. It's unclear at this point whether Apple wants in, too, but one designer has envisioned what the company's version of a drone might look like if it ever launched one. German designer Eric Huisman mocked up a sleek drone concept called the Apple Quadcopter , which has a minimalistic black-and-white design. It's very, well, Apple . In a series of photos posted to his website , which are stylized to look like Apple's traditional promotional pictures, the company's iconic logo sits in the middle of a slightly curved body, an element that Huisman says will support its many built-in cameras. Similar to a typical quadcopter, the Apple drone has four rotors and four cameras that can shoot still and panoramic photos (up to 100MP). The concept, which was first spotted by CNET , also incorporates 4K video functionality and built-...

Apple Car

Could This Be The Apple Car? There’s been plenty written about the potential Apple car. Now, though, we have an interesting guess as to what it might look like when it hits the road. This version is quintessentially Apple with smooth lines, tons of technology, and that iconic Apple logo prominently featured. These Apple car concepts were drawn up by CarWow ,and they include both interior and exterior design possibilities. It starts by taking a cue from Tesla with an absentee grille and flowing, aerodynamic lines that look a bit like the Magic Mouse. Colors are white, black, and gold in a nod to the newest iPhones with carbon-fiber reinforced plastics that include a coating to keep dirt from marring that perfect finish. The wheels are designed to cut drag and look good. The interior is where it suddenly looks like no other car. There’s a fingerprint-reading home button on the driver and passenger front doors and it’s all unlocked from the outside with a left to rig...

Fortunately, there's an Android app that can help, shutting down some non-essential system tasks and background processes to give your handset the chance to cool off. You can choose from a one-tap quick fix or a more detailed manual mode. The app in question is EaseUS Coolphone and it offers several ways to wave a metaphorical fan in front of your phone's face. You can tap the quick cool button on the app's opening screen, via the app's one-button widget or from the app's entry in the notification drawer. After a few moments of scanning, you can choose to apply the changes suggest by the app. It will look for apps running in the background that don't necessarily have to be there, as well as settings that can be turned off to reduce the work your phone's doing. If you find these changes t...
