Apples iPhone wächst immer weiter: Um im Kampf mit Samsungs Galaxy S5 nicht den Anschluss zu verlieren, soll es das neue iPhone in zwei Versionen geben – beide größer als das derzeitige Modell.

Der US-Konzern Apple will einem Bericht zufolge im September sein neues iPhone auf den Markt bringen. Das Smartphone werde in zwei verschiedenen Größen zu haben sein, berichtete die japanische Wirtschaftszeitung “Nikkei” ohne Angabe von Quellen.

Mit einer Bildschirmdiagonale von 4,7 oder 5,5 Zoll werden demnach beide Versionen größer sein als das aktuelle iPhone mit vier Zoll. Die hochauflösenden Bildschirme würden von den japanischen Unternehmen Sharp und Japan Display sowie LG aus Südkorea hergestellt.

Es wäre das erste Mal, dass Apple ein neues iPhone in zwei verschiedenen Größen auf den Markt bringt. Zuletzt hatte das Unternehmen im September 2012 das iPhone 5 herausgebracht. Im vergangenen Jahr kamen neue Versionen dieses Modells auf den Markt.

Mit dem nächsten iPhone würde Apple vor allem in Konkurrenz zum Galaxy S5 des Erzrivalen Samsung treten, das bereits im Februar präsentiert wurde. Samsung ist klarer Weltmarktführer bei Smartphones – im vergangenen Jahr wurden gut 30 Prozent der verkauften Modelle von dem südkoreanischen Konzern hergestellt.

Apples Marktanteil lag Zahlen des Marktforschungsunternehmens IDC zufolge bei gut 15 Prozent. 2013 waren weltweit erstmals mehr als eine Milliarde Smartphones ausgeliefert worden. Im Vergleich zum Vorjahr verzeichnete die Branche ein enormes Plus von 38,4 Prozent.

Having seen pictures of prototypes have surfaced on the net, confirm sources from the supply chain that the mass production of different sized panels begin in the second quarter. The Nikkei newspaper reported the Japanese economy. This is also consistent with the recently arisen rumors that production of the iPhone 6 will be launched in the same period in the factories of Foxconn and Pegatron. As Digitimes writes, orders were received for the battery production even with manufacturers in Taiwan.

The screens provide products according to the Sharp forth in his factory Kameyama and Japan Display in Mobara well as other locations. Besides the two Japanese companies but also includes LG to Apple’s display suppliers.

The Nikkei report also points out once again that a higher screen resolution.

The release of the Apple iPhone 6 will likely again in the third quarter, according to Steve Milunovich September take place – and not in June, as some believed. Whether the 5.5 – inch model gleichzeitigt comes out with the 4.7-inch version, about the analyst is, however, not sure yet. The release could also be done at a later date

    Coach of the Year: Howell Hafner watches as Walton gains ground – Marietta Daily Journal

    When it comes to girls swimming in Cobb County, Walton and Lassiter have chased one another in recent years, in a bid to determine which of the east Cobb rivals is the better team by season's end.

    The Lady Raiders appeared to have taken the lead.

    Though Walton has always been known for its depth — and this year is no exception — the Lady Raiders now have more star power, most of which are underclassmen.

    While Walton has managed to use its depth to snag the county title from Lassiter on occasion in recent years, it had yet to top the Lady Trojans in a state meet.

    That ended this season.

    Not only did Walton win the county title for a second straight year — by two points over Lassiter — the Lady Raiders had the edge in the state meet as well. Walton finished fourth in Class AAAAAAA, besting its rival by nine points.

    The state meet was capped by a victory in the 400-meter freestyle relay that sealed the Lady Raiders' fourth-place finish.

    First-year coach Mary Howell Hafner, previously an assistant to Sharon Loughran before Loughran stepped aside to focus on coaching soccer, went into the 2013-14 season with a leg up on what kind of depth and talent the Lady Raiders had.

    Walton may not have won county, or placed so high at state, had it not been for its underclassmen, and it was up to Howell Hafner to have her young swimmers ready to compete at the varsity level.

    "Our team spirit was vital to encouraging our young athletes," said Howell Hafner, the 2013-14 Marietta Daily Journal/Cobb County Girls Swimming Coach of the Year. "Our young athletes learned quickly that I believed in them, and their teammates were cheering them on in every event."

    Based on the underclassmen who stepped up this season — freshmen Evan Arsenault, Emma Cole and Gabbie Gauntt, to name a few — Walton could be in contention for several more years.

    Cole and Gauntt were on the 400 freestyle relay team that prevailed at state meet, swimming alongside senior Kira de Bruyn and junior Mary Beckwith. The quartet eclipsed their county-meet time — which was second to Lassiter at the time — by more than 3 seconds.

    "I was also so proud of our girls at the state meet," Howell Hafner said. "They left everything in the pool during the 400 free relay. It was so fun to watch and cheer for Emma Cole, Gabbie Gauntt, Mary Beckwith and Kira de Bruyn, as they gave us a perfect ending to an amazing meet."

    Arsenault and Gauntt was also key in lifting Walton to a fifth-place finish in the 200 freestyle relay.

    Cole stood out among the underclassmen. She posted county wins in the 200 and 500 freestyles, then was second at the state meet in the 500 and third in the 200.

    De Bruyn, signed to swim at Georgia Tech next season, came up short of winning her third state title in the 200 individual medley, but she still finished second overall. She was also seventh in the 100 breaststroke.

    Spending millions to limit traffic and make it even tighter about salvation for the firehjulte? No thanks, says Rolf Egil Johnsen.

    – There is no problem that they like to shop in town come by car. Therefore, I think it is wrong to put more spending million in so-called side obstacle. The city center is dependent on the availability and accessibility, says Johnsen.

    TA has written several articles on the issue, and recently it was in the newspaper confirmed that the alderman will give priority to spend four million dollars to create small parks that partially stick out in the main street. This is primarily to slow through traffic and reduce speed in Porsgrunn most urban areas. But it will also give the street a more attractive appearance. The case settled in the city council 3 April.

    SIVE GATE

    Porsgrunn my city has previously proposed a so-called ooze street, but Johnson stressed that it was not as talk about such initiatives.

    – We believe it will keep putting up a sign that says that the maximum speed is 30 km / h. There must be much better spending, says Rolf Egil Johnsen.

    He believes millions could be used for something more sensible – and fears narrowing will cause problems for the transport of goods and for those who want to park to make a trade.

    – We will have the shortest possible path from the car to the store, So we are just screwed together – you and I, says Johnsen.

    – I do not mean that it is about to do to get more traffic into the city, but those who have an errand here, need to find a parking space. They must feel welcome, says Johnsen believes Porsgrunn center not be less environmentally bit of traffic.

    – emissions from modern fleet gets the reduced pace with technological developments, Also, I do not think there will be more exhaust that people driving downtown to shop refrigerator than if they run to Kjørbekk. Adds politicians are too many obstacles in the way of the city, only even more drive to a mall.

    GREEN IS GOOD, BUT …

    Johnson Electric, where PMBs chairman is at the helm of the daily, is among those who have chosen to invest in the city. Johnson himself believes it is appropriate with green elements, such municipality adds up to, but believes it is wrong to plant trees in the street.

    – It should be reserved for car traffic.

    TA could recently reported that there are almost no driving over the speed limit (50 km / h) in Rd. And over 95 percent stays away from 40 km / h.

    – Where recognize myself. There is no problem with speeding in the street. Most people take it very quiet. Therefore it is wrong to use public funds to slow down so it is now being proposed, says Johnsen.

    - Is it just fools of daddy boys in higher education, we get a … – Todays Business

    arrows point slowly the U.S. way, but today Americans will be the first of several generations who will have it tougher than their parents, says chief economist Knut Anton Mork at Handelsbanken Capital Markets.

    – We begin to see a generation that has not had a higher standard of living than their parents, quite the opposite, and where social mobility suffers. It is very serious, both socially and bring out talents. Otherwise intelligent children of poor parents have the opportunity, and it becomes fools of daddy boys in higher education will be a problem. For some I’m afraid that the dream becomes a nightmare, says Mork to DN.

    – Too early to rejoice

    American figures have shown strong despite that several have been characterized by an unusually cold winter. Unemployment draws gradually declined from high levels, the housing market continues to improve and inflation is low. Thursday revised up as the authorities on economic growth in the fourth quarter of 2013 from 2.4 to 2.7 percent, driven by a consumer adjustment of 0.7 percentage points from the original figures, an increase of 3.3 percent.

    Mork believes that it is too early to rejoice, and shows that there is still a significant gap to the growth path before the financial crisis and earlier recovery periods of deep recessions, as in 1974-75 and 1981-82.

    – There is something here that takes place not as before. One possibility is a recession associated with a financial crisis, which so far is correct, but Larry Summers’ (American economics professor, hedge funds state and Obama advisor) points is a bit more than that, namely that the only events that have generated growth rates that the United States had the 60 – and 80′s have been bubbles, says chief economist.

    Poverty is increasing

    There is also something underlying the current development that is worth keeping your eyes on, says Mork. Very many jobs do not pay much. At the same time, banks have begun to demand repayment of the loan that the Americans took up ten years ago through eating of the values ​​of their homes.

    poverty in the world’s largest economy is also far from being eradicated, fifty years after President Lyndon Johnson declared the war. A report from the U.S. Census Bureau in January this year revealed that nearly one in three Americans experienced having lived under the poverty line for at least two months during the global recession between 2009 and 2011. And in 2012 lived 47 million Americans, including 13 million children in poverty.

    growing gap between rich and poor affects not only Americans but even burden the U.S. economy, according to a majority of 36 economists Associated Press was contact in December 2013.

    – I will not say that all is well, though I am glad to see that it goes ahead as it does, says Mork.

    Sure growth

    The much criticized unconventional monetary policy by the central bank, where just last year pumped more than 1,000 billion dollars into the market, has actually worked, and given growth without excessive inflation, says economist.

    The question is where the growth will come from. The large demand sucked absent because people have less money to spend, and the fear that the future is not as previously envisioned increases.

    On the other hand, new technologies provide the basis for investment and earnings gains. Handelsbanken economist points to renewable energy and innovations in battery capacity, as two examples.

    – It’s still a bit early and hard to say. We have been pleasantly surprised before the technological advances, but also disappointed, said Mork.

    – Can help in leveling

    Although he is clear that today’s Americans will have lower living standards than their parents, there are also bright spots. Obama’s health care reform has given disadvantaged Americans without jobs right to health insurance, and is believed improve the country’s health situation and employability. This despite the expectation of something apostasy among those who have only been in the job because of the associated health rights, according to Mork.

    – I think Obamacare can help any of Equalization, and that the dream will be destroyed of a case of disease, says chief economist.

    He appears not for a speedy recovery, but that the U.S. economy will grow slowly, probably at a rate of 2-2.5 percent a year. There will also present challenges for a recent U.S. Federal Reserve, according to Mork, to reduce the stimulus measures without slowing economy.

    – Yell task is difficult enough, when she should normalize everything, and knowing now she should take every step and get communicated it without scaring people, he said.

    – Faint expectations

    Mork supported by investment director Robert Næss at Nordea Investment Management, which looks weak growth in earnings among U.S. firms over the next few years.

    – You should be happy if we get a 3.5 percent earnings growth over the next few years , he told DN.

    partly because earnings are already a record, which has been driven by massive cost cutting, but also because any consumer recovery will be eaten up by higher investment and higher costs through higher wage demands, he notes . At the same time, any improvement in the economy increase interest rates, and thus corporate interest expense.

    – Faint expectations for growth, and companies have been cautious about costs and cautious about investing. The irony is that with modest expectations so it’s really perfect conditions for companies with low interest rates and limited competition, says Næss.

    Market expectations of U.S. corporate earnings continues to fall, and was later revised down last week.

    – It seems that the pattern repeats from last year, when people began to believe in a 12 to 13 percent inntjenningvekst and so it ended up a modest 4.5 percent. It seems like we are on the same road now, says Investment Director.



    Macro Rush

    Later this week there will be a number of key indicators from the U.S. economy. Tuesday released the ISM index of activity for the industry, which is seen as a good indicator to reveal changes in economic conditions .

    Wednesday and Friday afternoon released besides the monthly labor reports.

    Wednesday’s report from ADP Employer Services, which shows changes in private employment, is seen as an indication of the official and far more comprehensive job report from the government on Friday.
