To differentiate from other manufacturers, Apple produces the <strong>hardware and software components of their\ndevices, <\/strong>in order to make a perfectly engineered combination of the two to\nwork together. This in-turn makes the machines <strong>more reliable<\/strong> and less prone to <strong>productivity-sapping bugs and glitches. <\/strong>This also makes the <strong>user experience consistent<\/strong> across all\nthe full-range of devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The mobile working has been becoming more\nprevalent, the <strong>integration between Apple\ndevices <\/strong>has become more important. iCloud has played a key role in\nimproving the integration between the desktop, iOS and cloud version of the\ncore apps, so that the users on different platforms can collaborate in\nreal-time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Apple devices also come with the best\nsecurity mechanism platform ranging from system level security such as <strong>Touch ID <\/strong>to enforcing two-factor\nauthentication to <strong>AES-256 bit hardware\nencryption for data at rest and a VPN <\/strong>over the transport layer when the\ndata is moving. Whenever an Apple device is enrolled in a <strong>mobile device management or MDM <\/strong>solution, the device is designed to\nsecure important company data while protecting the end-user privacy. The MDM\nsolution can only see <strong>corporate data and\napps, and none of the personal data <\/strong>without any need for separate\nworkspace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">One\nof the major advantage of iOS is that the updates are quick, easy and\nuser-centric. Nearly <strong>59% <\/strong>of the\ndevices under iOS run on the latest version of the operating systems just after\nsix weeks of their initial releases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Apple has also partnered with firms such as Cisco, Deloitte, <a href=\"https:\/\/esds.co.in\/sap-hana-community-cloud\"><strong>SAP <\/strong><\/a>and IBM for developing an integrated suite of solutions ensuring users don\u2019t start from beginning when they choose to adopt Macs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"684\" src=\"https:\/\/www.esds.co.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10283\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.esds.co.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/1.png 960w, https:\/\/www.esds.co.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/1-150x107.png 150w, https:\/\/www.esds.co.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/1-300x214.png 300w, https:\/\/www.esds.co.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/1-660x470.png 660w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><figcaption> <strong>The Apple Growth Saga<\/strong><br> <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Dominos\"><\/span>2.

One of the most successful iteration came with <strong>the introduction of 3D printing in their production methods.<\/strong> In the year 2015, the company began the use of additive manufacturing in order to create fuel nozzle for their passenger jet engines and in this process became the first one to do so. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The nozzles that were <strong>3-D printed<\/strong> proved to be <strong>5 times <\/strong>stronger than the traditionally manufactured counterparts and these were able to withstand temperatures up to <strong>1600C.<\/strong> Nearly 8000 orders valued at <strong>$80 bn <\/strong>were placed shortly after the product launched. The real power of additive lies in taking six parts and designing it into a single part and one can create geometry that isn\u2019t possible in any other way. The customers can iterate quickly, finding out what exactly is working and what is not, can even change the designs and also do it many more times as compared to the traditional technologies adopted in the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"845\" src=\"https:\/\/www.esds.co.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/3-1-1024x845.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10286\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.esds.co.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/3-1-1024x845.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.esds.co.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/3-1-150x124.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.esds.co.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/3-1-300x248.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.esds.co.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/3-1-660x545.jpg 660w, https:\/\/www.esds.co.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/3-1.jpg 1077w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption> <strong>3-D Printed Nozzle by GE<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Pfizer\"><\/span>4. <strong>Pfizer<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The healthcare sector as a whole lag behind other sectors in terms of the digital innovation.
