Apple is a company that believes in technology ecosystems. Beyond that there may be compatibility between different devices of the brand-and all the benefits that can be obtained, there have been efforts to connect their products with other areas. The immediate reference that comes to mind is the case of ** Nike + iPod * , a society heavily exploited by numerous runners and sports fans in the world.
In the case of the automotive world, no iPod compatibility with a number of manufacturers such as Audi, BMW, Chrysler, Dodge, Ford, GM, Mercedes, Porsche, Volkswagen, among others.
Of course, integration with these cars has a little problem: wires still depends on and is limited to the musical .For this reason, it is noteworthy that the patent Apple has made to synchronize the iPhone with a vehicle . One of those involved in this idea is Scott Forstall , who is regarded as one of the great minds in Cupertino. Forstall isthe senior vice president at Apple iOS , so his voice carries considerable weight in decisions that occur in the company.
What is a patent? The application seems to be focused on improving GPS navigation . Recall that the iPhone not only get their information through satellite data, but also with a database of public Wi-Fi and cellular towers.This could help the car to improve geographic accuracy. Another application might be focused on maps and navigation to help drivers without a copilot.
It is unknown Apple's interest in entering other areas of daily life. Much has been rumored about the intention of turning the iPhone into universal control for home automation . Also well known is the dream of Steve Jobs to create [his own car], an idea that just stayed on the shelf and never reached production. Forstall might take a little of both to offer something innovative -as-usual at Apple in no time.
