Apple Hiring New Telesales Staff to Support 'Very Big New Product'?

The "Iis" Makes All Other Apple Products Obsolete!!!

Apple has finally given birth to the product that symbolizes where Apple's design team has been going for years.....minimalist perfection.

When I saw it I couldn't stop crying.....S. Jobs
I can finally rest as I have achieved perfection....J. ives

The Iis (pronounced eye-is) is a 1 inch diameter white plastic marble. It has no I/O ports, no drive, no display, no buttons, supports no standards, and has no instructions.

It has been designed not to bounce.

Get one today because as Jonny Ives says....."it doesn't do a bloody thing, but I can't take me eyes off of it."

Analysts expect the "Iis" to go for $99. :p
 
Is "ala carte" TV programming finally here? Does it truly mean the end of having to buy 30 extra channels just so I can watch a channel I want? Count me in for the cable going - away party if the iTV speculation is accurate.
 
Something Huge? If it's super-massive it could be an iHole. Like a black hole, but white.
 
Come on, this is no time for jokes! Everybody knows what this "Very big new product" will be.


It's either the long-awaited iPotatoPeeler or the iThing. The first one has been developing under very strict conditions, so there is no further information about that.

But the iThing is going to be an "amazingly powerful, revolutionary way of doing things. Things that you always wanted. Things that just matter. Simply, the Apple way." Anyway, rumours are that the iThing will be using parts from Walmart's basic pencil range and one of its sketchpads, but Apple's version will be white with the premium version featuring a solid aluminium cover, inspired by space technology. Prices start from $99 with the alu-foiled version starting at $199. As Steve Jobs recently stated in an email, "This is the Mac for the masses".
 
As long as they don't start doing that Silent Call crap like other telesales staff I'll carry on looking forward to it whatever it is.

An iPlanet would be cool though. A minimalist designer paradise for humanity to migrate to now we've effed up this one....for those willing to pay of course.

If it's not magical I'm having nothing to do with it.

Apparently, people are getting skeptical about everything being magical.

As Apple claims: "Back to basics, reinvented. Inspiration and freedom - a magical combination" - bugger, there it is! You are lucky!

How much would I need to take a few people out of this planet? If the price is comparable to iDeath with having iAssassin installed, I am interested.

Any news about iNquisition or iBurnYou yet?
 
well unless apple is willing to let me watch movie files that aren't native supported by iTunes its a no go for me

i'm not gonna pay 19 euro for a 720p file while i can get a new released movie on 1080p Blu-Ray for 12 euro

Maybe the new "Touchscreen" Nano?

Nano is hardly huge or significant and since it's not really a new product new staff isn't probably needed.

So, it's gonna be either iTV or touchscreen MBA or iMac. iTV seems the most likely right now.
 
New big product?

Just a speculation but is the new product:

iEarth - Apple reinvents/revolutionises the Earth that is easier to use and has a non seasonal orbit where the mean temperature is always 21 Degrees Celsius.

The helpline will be for those who are having trouble using the iTeleport machines in the Apple stores that will be used to beam us to the new iEarth one by one.

Bah queso, i missed your forum post and thought i was being original. Still, i like your thinking :)
 
Surprised no-one has connected these dots... :)

Surely it has something to do with this?

The timing of everything sure seems to be coming together for a related purpose. Which does imply something to do with media/high-bandwidth related activities/products.

We don't actually know what the data center is for (that's been a tightly held secret), we assume cloud-based services, maybe media streaming...

There was also a rumor about a much-improved MobileMe type of service.

New "physical" product + Data Center... or maybe it's what the data center is going to provide... not all 'products' are physical...

I think it'll be some combination of the two...

I agree with this statement. I just don't see why the release of an iTV-like product would require new support staff.

Because at the same moment, you will have massive people "new to Apple", and also on average, of less tech savy skills, by a wide margin than existing customers.

There will be a product learning curve that can only be captured by a one-on-one CS experience, so the ecosystem can be edited to reduce the required interaction labor.

As simple as that. :D

Wasn't there a report of a delay in the data center completion? I could be wrong ... just asking.

I just hope this could just plug in on existing TVs if its an iTV.

Don´t worry. Apple will most likely not release a product that everyone already owns and has a life of 5 years or more. There are not that many people that would replace their 2 year old 40" plasma with a new 40" Apple IPS TV or whatever. It´s much smarter to produce something that can be added on any existing TV set, and in addition to any other devices that you have connected to the TV.

The data center isn´t ready yet, or maybe they want to sell the iConstructionsite
 
It's the iToilet duh!

The seat is made of aluminium and the iToilet is white of course. It's revolutionary! And if anyone else has this, apple will just buy them and shut em down!
 
I've changed my mind. iPhone 5 isn't magical enough. It will be iChip, a simple brain implant that will allow you to control your own virtual world with nothing but your mind. And it will be in 3D -- without glasses. And naturally, iAds will be built in so that advertisers will be guaranteed to reach their audience. You'll be walking through a grocery store and suddenly have an urge to buy that bag of chips and you won't know why.
 
Why not 1080p

Ever heard of LightPeek? With Apple's efforts with Intel on LightPeek and many articles say LightPeek is about ready. Maybe iTV becomes a whole home multimedia server in a way that surpasses the MS one. Maybe a Macbook tablet done right (as opposed to tablet done wrong ala MS)

Seriously, if they release something new, it's likely that the top 3 xmas gifts this year will be Apple products. (iPhone, iPad and new release)
Click to expand...

Consumers want a new Apple even before they know what it is. Can't say that about any other tech company.

My guess: iPhone 5! "Everything changes, again. Finally!"
;)

More seriously, I believe the cloud center (on earth) will be opened for enhanced iTunes functionality.

iPadBook will be next year.
 
Have to wonder if this is just seasonal hiring and the job description is just hyped up to attract interest.
