Other BrandsApple Inc. wants to make it easier for software coders to create tools, games and other applications for its main devices in one fell swoop -- an overhaul designed to encourage app development and, ultimately, boost revenue.
The aim of the multistep initiative, code-named “Marzipan,” is that by 2021, developers will be able to build an app once and have it work on the iPhone, iPad and Mac computers, people familiar with the effort said. That should spur the creation of new software, increasing the utility of the company’s gadgets.
Each new app is another revenue opportunity for Apple because it takes a cut of many app-related purchases and subscriptions. The company has positioned its services division as a major growth area. It plans to announce two new services -- a premium Apple News subscription offering and an original video content initiative -- at the end of March, Bloomberg News reported recently.In 2020, Apple plans to expand the kit so iPhone applications can be converted into Mac apps in the same way. Apple engineers have found this challenging because iPhone screens are so much smaller than Mac computer displays.
By 2021, developers will be able to merge iPhone, iPad, and Mac applications into one app or what is known as a “single binary.” This means developers won’t have to submit their work to different Apple App Stores, allowing iOS apps to be downloaded directly from Mac computers -- effectively combining the stores.
The plans are fluid and could be altered, the people said. They asked not to be identified discussing private matters. A spokeswoman for Cupertino, California-based Apple declined to comment. The most direct benefit of the Marzipan project will be to make life easier for the millions of developers who write software for Apple’s devices. For example, later this year Netflix Inc. would be able to more easily offer a Mac app for watching video by converting its iPad app. By 2021, Twitter Inc., which has mostly abandoned the Mac, could publish a single app for all Apple customers.
Apple previewed the apps plan, without disclosing the road map, at its developers conference last year. Bloomberg News first wrote about the initiative in 2017.
The work coincides with the company’s preparations to merge more of the underpinnings of its hardware. Currently, iPhones and iPads are powered by Apple processors, while Macs use Intel Corp. chips. Apple plans to start transitioning some Macs to its own chips as early as 2020, Bloomberg News reported last year.
Despite the app merger plan, Apple has said it won’t combine iOS and macOS into a single operating system.
Apple isn’t the first company to streamline its app ecosystems. Before Microsoft Corp. discontinued Windows for phones, it pushed a technology called Universal Windows Platform that let developers create single applications that would run on all of its devices. Similarly, Google has brought its Android mobile app store to some laptops running its Chrome OS operating system.
Apple plans to hold its annual software conference from June 3 to June 7 in San Jose, California, according to permit filings reported recently by website MacRumors.
At the event, Apple also plans to debut new software features for its devices, including a dark mode for easier nighttime viewing and new productivity tools for the iPad. The company has also internally weighed previewing a new version of the high-end Mac Pro, according to people familiar with the deliberations.
Not in love with the Dior Saddle Bag? But you are crazy about the concept. How about the Dior Saddle Clutch With Chain? Enjoy the exact same features but carry the bag in rectangle shape.
The only question left is: ‘which color?’.
The Design
Just
like the Wallet On Chain, the Saddle Chain Clutch is the perfect day to
evening bag in mini shape. However, we do not belief the interior space
differ much from the Saddle Bag.
The
Saddle Chain Clutch is available in single color leathers or multicolor
canvas. While the shape is rectangle (and we absolute love that), the
other details remain the same as the Saddle Bag. For example, the flap
is lined like a Saddle and it features two leather tassels with one
attached to the D for Dior logo.
The Bijoux Chain is absolutely
amazing and ladylike. The chain is 120 cm and can be used to carry on
the shoulder or crossbody. And we also adore the gold hardware.
What’s more? Remove the chain to transform the bag from a day bag to a clutch bag.
The Interior
The
inside of the bag is not huge but it’s crafted with useful
compartments. There are 4 card slots, 1 flat pocket and 1 zipped pocket
available.
The Sizes And Prices
Measuring 22 x 14.5 x 3.5 cm, priced at €1600 EUR, £1450 GBP, ₩2500000 WON via Dior boutique.
The weather is changing, and that means it’s time for boot season.

It’s that time of the year again – the angels are back.
Brace yourself, for the phenomenal Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show (VSFS)
will be making waves all across the internet very soon.
Now, on to the highlights this year.
No Place Like Home: Models to Walk the New York Runway
VS learned a painful lesson after last year’s disastrous China debut in Shanghai that safe is always better than sorry. As announced on the brand’s
Instagram, this year they’ll be bringing the sensational catwalk back
home to the Big Apple, America’s fashion capital.
The brand moved too fast and hastily
with their Asia premier a year ago, evidently. Russian and Ukrainian
models unable to get the appropriate visas were denied entry at the
Chinese borders, Gigi Hadid and Katy Perry, the two biggest stars set to
grace the stage were pulled and turned away respectively due to
sensitivity issues of different natures, and the international press was
banned from filming and covering the show. Unable to live up to the
hype of a grand Asia takeover, the show lost its usual luster last year
due to the scandals.
So, after two rather experimental years abroad – first in Paris then in Shanghai, VS Fashion Show 2018 is ready to return home.
A Lineup that celebrates womanhood: Winnie Harlow, Ming Xi, Behati Prinsloo & more
A diverse profile of models will be sent down the runway this year in
the brand’s latest effort to make an inclusivity statement, and among
them is first-time-Angel Winnie Harlow. Despite her status as an
established industry icon and international supermodel, this will be Harlow’s first time gracing the runway alongside other Angels. Known for her unique Jolie laide look due to vitiligo, a condition that causes localized losses of skin
pigments, the hugely successful 24-year old model has gained a massive
4.5M following on Instagram alone. But beyond skin-deep, she’s loved and
respected worldwide for vocalizing the more important accompanying
issues of self-confidence and inclusion. Fans are overjoyed to see
Winnie and the ultra-feminine lingerie brand joining hands in redefining
the standards of beauty.

Not only is this year’s show arguably more racially diverse than ever
with the presence of ethnic models such as Ming Xi and Duckie Thot,
equally uplifting is the fact that motherhood is celebrated with the
post-labor return of Behati Prinsloo after a 2-year break from her angel
wings. The 30-year old mother is as fit as ever and once again ready to
take the world by storm. The 2018 show shall see not only a strikingly
visual impact, but a meaningful one that speaks to contemporary women,
too.
A Star-studded runway: Gigi and Kendall’s places confirmed
The long-awaited reveal that Gigi and Kendall are booked for the show
was made not by the models themselves, but by shoe designer Brian
Atwood on his Instagram (@brian_atwood) post on 19 October. Brian, in
his extensive caption, shares that he is over the moon to learn that the
industry’s favorite pair of model-cum-influencers will be walking down
the runway in his larger than life creations in a month’s time.
What about Bella Hadid? According to sources, it hasn’t yet been
confirmed whether the weeknd’s girlfriend will be a part of the show.
Let’s hope she breaks the story on IG soon.
Show Date: 1-month countdown!
Like every year, the exact show date is not released until nearer the
time. All we know is that it will be happening in more or less a
month’s time. Stay tuned on the brand’s Instagram for the latest news.

The Boy With the Pearls will always be remembered. It’s a fashion-thing that does not come very often. It’s an addition on the top of addiction. Meet the Boy Chanel Tweed Pearl Bag from the Fall Winter 2018 Collection Act 1.
The Boy needs no introduction; it’s well-known in the fashion world. But have you seen one with pearls? Have you ever seen a Boy with Pearls? This bag is a game-changer, an attention-grabber and it’s iconic as well.
The Design
Tweed creates a new experience, because it looks and feels different than leather. Nevertheless, the diamond quilting on the body is crafted in Tweed. This Tweed is available in the classic black, but looking closer, the Tweed creates white sparks on the diamond quilting.
The white sparks reinforced the pearls that are embellished on the sides. And also, the edge of the bag is made in full calfskin leather. The silver hardware is also the ideal choice for such a design; just take a look at the iconic Boy Clasp in the center.
This Boy is supposed to be a Boyish Bag for ladies. The addition Pearls boast the feminine appeal, which makes it more ladylike than the regular Boy Bag.
The Interior
The inside of this bag is made with a main compartment including a patch pocket. Depending on the size, but it’s big enough to hold all your essentials.
