Apple's Car Project Could Be A $50 Billion Opportunity In The U.S., Says Analyst

Apple currently has a few hundred employees that are working on an electric vehicle project code-named “Titan,” according to several reports. The prototypes of the automotive project appear to be in the form of minivans, which have been spotted throughout New York and California. It may be several years until Apple has a vehicle on the road, but there is speculation about the impact that the Cupertino giant could make on the automotive sector.

Gene Munster, a managing director and senior research analyst at Piper Jaffray, said that the U.S. car market may represent a $50 billion revenue opportunity for Apple. Munster cited data from Edmunds that revealed 16.4 million new vehicles were sold in America last year. And TrueCar reported that the average selling price of a vehicle in the U.S. was slightly over $31,000 in the month of August. This means that the U.S. car market is valued at over $500 billion. Apple’s vehicles could generate $50 billion in new revenue if it achieves “moderate success” — which he defined as about 10% of the U.S. car market, a 23% increase of Munster’s current estimates for Apple’s fiscal year 2015.

Original Moto G to receive Lollipop in the coming weeks

In keeping with the company’s policy to provide updates for its smartphones, Motorola is working on an Android Lollipop firmware for the first generation Moto G, released in 2013. Evidence for the update comes from owners of the device, who have started receiving a notification, prompting them to upgrade to the latest version of Motorola Update Services, in order to be notified of the update itself.


It has become common practice for manufacturers to support their high-end lines, or release updates for current generations only. Motorola, on the other hand, has had an exemplary track record, and is updating flagships and budget devices alike, both new and old. It could be argued that the company has it easy, because of its choice to stick close to stock Android, while heavier overlays undeniably require more time-consuming work.


We recently informed you of the Lollipop updates rolling out for the Moto E and Moto Maxx. However, if you own a different Motorola smartphone, you can refer to our earlier article for the complete list of planned…
