Here are your Apple Rumors for today:
Stores: Apple (AAPL) CEO Tim Cook said that the company plans to increase the number of Apple Stores in China, reports 9to5Mac. Cook claims that the company will increase its number of retail locations in China from 15 to 40 in a two-year period. The Sore expansion will stretch to parts of Greater China, which includes Hong Kong and Taiwan. China represents 14% of the company’s revenue. However, Cook claims that the country will eventually become the greatest source of revenue for the company.
Nike: Nike (NKE) CEO Mark Parker hinted that the company may continue its partnership with Apple, MacRumors notes. Parker dropped the hint during an interview. He also said that he is bullish on the tech company and the wearable market. Despite having stopped production of its Fuelband wearable tech, he said that he expects the wearable market to be a big part of the future. He also said that with the help of Apple, the two companies could create wearable technology that neither would be able to make on their own.
Beta: Apple’s TestFlight iOS app now lets developers add 1,000 beta testers, reports AppleInisder. The tech company has announced developers will be able to add many more beta testers just by sending them email invitations. Previous restraints only allowed app developers to send out beta invites to 100 devices per account. However, this new change means that developers can add 1,000 beta testers to each of its apps. The new process also eliminates the UDID system that was previously used to gain beta testers.
