1. Security

To achieve this, the company intends to remove the free passcode recovery mode from their devices especially the iPhones. Also the encryption of data on iCloud backup preventing access of data through the iPhone backdoor; Apple reserves all the rights to decrypt the data. This is however about to change; Apple wants to issue the decryption keys to their customers to prevent this kind of access by Apple and other institutions.
Apple aims at limiting the use of the device firmware update (DFU) mode as a troubleshooter. This is because it can be used to reinstall new versions of the operating system without rebooting or entering passcodes.
2. Payment
Payment transactions have become the center of new technological advancements. Each technological company including Apple are looking for new ways to make payments using their devices. The presence of a pay service in Apple indicates their future intentions. Ensuring increased use of the Apple Pay service by their customers, using their smart watch and the iPhones which are now installed with this service. The system is secure, easy to use and implement.
Payment transactions are aimed at being transferred to the new wearable devices that are being developed. The operating system that controls the payment app will be designed to fit and install in the wearable devices. Uploading of information will be done through the use of the iPhones which are then put in sync with the wearable devices; payment will be through the swipe of the wearable device on the scanner.
3. Devices
The future brings new things and in this case new devices for Apple. If you are a fun of Apple products, then get ready to have your mind blown. Apple is producing new devices that are wearable, weightless, convenient and easy to use. The Apple smart watch yet to enter the market will have new features and abilities such as estimating blood pressure, heart rate, skin conductivity, and oxygen levels in the blood. These functions will be for 24 hours a day. Data gathered will then be analyzed and uploaded into the computer that is in sync with the wearable device. The results are then displayed on the screen. Upgrading and updating the devices will be done using the new wearable devices.
Apple aims at introducing and developing the fifth generation television sets. These are rumored to have very advanced and enhanced CPUs. These if produced with operating quite smoothly and efficiently. Real time will lack definition with the said set.

Retail shops show the image of the company to the world. Customers today are concerned about image and reputation of a company. Apple has decided to implement new strategies in their retail stores to assist in achieving their future goals. Apple aims at reorganizing its retail stores. The Genius Bar will be renamed to Genius Groove, which is designed and aimed for hands-on customer service.
New additions will include Windows, which is a form of display that changes with the different themes i.e. iPhone photos to music or new iOS applications. The boardroom which takes the form of a conference is designed for social interaction between Apple and small business startups and app developers.
Apple aims at ensuring that people visit their stores regardless of whether or not they are buying. The retail stores will be a destination for people from different areas. They aim at making landmarks where people converge and meet.
Conclusion
Apple has ample plans. Fulfilling these plans, however, may not be as easy as they anticipate; customers provide challenges that are to be faced. Some of them include acceptance of the new technology, disillusionment in regards to the operations of the new devices and operating systems, etc.; it is difficult to curb all of this and to ensure success. As for me, I believe what I see.
