Apple Can Sell Power as Tech Giants Boost Energy Investments Apple Inc., which spent $850 million last year on a 130-megawatt solar farm near San Francisco, can begin selling power into wholesale markets in the latest foray by a technology company into the energy business. Apple’s subsidiary Apple Energy LLC may sell energy, capacity and other services needed to maintain reliable power, according to an order by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission Thursday. In granting approval, the commission determined the company did not raise the risk of being able to unfairly hike up power prices. The iPhone maker is among a group of companies investing in energy projects in a bid to tackle global warming and cut electric bills. Google, Microsoft Corp. and Amazon.com Inc. are backing wind turbines and solar farms to power their operations and lower their carbon footprint.

Apple CEO Tim Cook has confirmed the company’s ambition towards VR and AR In a recent interview with The Washington Post, Apple Inc. CEO Tim Cook once again discussed the company’s ambitious plans regarding augmented reality. Mr. Cook stated that the company is doing its utmost to strive and accelerate in the field of augmented reality. He further went on to state that augmented reality is very crucial to the company’s success, as it is a core technology which could potentially change everything related to how we live our daily lives. This is the first time that Mr. Cook has definitely confirmed that Apple has augmented reality projects in the work, having previously admitted that the company would be interested in investing in the upcoming technology if the opportunity presented itself. The main difference between augmented reality and virtual reality is that the former augments virtual elements onto the real world, while the latter does not. Interestingly, Apple has reportedly set up a large division where it employs workers to exclusively work on projects related to augmented reality. Recently, the tech giant has been busy poaching some of the best known talent in the field of AR and VR in order to boost its own upcoming projects. This was recently highlighted by the fact that Apple poached Nick Thomas who was previously employed by Microsoft to work on its VR HoloLens project as a head engineer. Also, Apple has acquired a number of augmented reality specialist firms, including German based AR Company Metaio and PrimeSense which are responsible for assisting in the development of Microsoft’s Xbox Kinect. Even though Tim Cook did not go into details regarding how Apple will pursue its AR and VR projects but these recent statements definitely highlight the growing importance and possible application of the futuristic technology. It will be interesting to see how the tech giant incorporates AR and VR in its upcoming devices in order to better compete with its rivals which are highly expected to follow a similar path.
