This notice should not read like established e-reader vendors like Amazon with its Kindle devices or Kobo. Apple plans later this year to bring out its own e-reader under the name “iRead”. The report unanimously American media as Mall Street Journal, Mobile Greeks and Mac tumor. The new Apple device is intended to be closely integrated into the existing product landscape of the Group of Cupertino. So going to run on iRead a customized version of iOS, as already occurs in the Apple Watch for use. Synchronization is performed as usual for Apple users exclusively through iTunes. The existing books shop here will be greatly expanded in Germany in the next few weeks. “With our young people should learn to read again,” Apple CEO Tim Cook is quoted unanimously by the tabloids. With regard to the formats you bet on newly developed proprietary .appl files that do not consume much space, but each point in a small half-eaten apple convert.

The already on the market competition are likely to focus the proposed screen in Apple’s new E-Reader scare. As Tim Cook announced, Apple has developed its own display on e-ink base that covers the entire Adober RGB color space and resolves to six inches in 4K. However, such a screen asks its toll – the battery life of the iRead moves on the same level wiedie the Apple Watch, ie less than ten hours of normal use. An interesting feature of the company from Cupertino installed it on the left rear of a pulse sensor. This should be able to measure the blood movement in the fingertips and so keep statistics on the extent of the excitation level at Fifty Shades of Grey increases.

As with the Apple Watch are employed in Cupertino at iRead on quality luxury versions, which should appeal to the well-heeled audience. While the normal version as the iPad in an aluminum jacket comes (1,000 dollars), it should also versions in gold ($ 20,000), with Swarovski stones occupied ($ 30,000) and leather from the hindquarters of Japanese Kobe cattle ( give $ 50,000). However, the latter are likely to be primarily intended for the Japanese market due to the restrictions on exports of Kobe beef. About an American special edition, filled with feathers of the bald eagle is however still speculation.
