Today?s Apple [AAPL] rumor machine is finally seeing the light and agreeing that the iPad mini will be introduced at an event subsequent to the iPhone 5, which seems obvious to me, so for today?s story I want to talk about Apple?s next big iOS opportunity, the connected home.
Some examples of these could include:
? E-Readers, including an i-Device;
? The thermostat
? Connected automobiles which interrogate smart city traffic control hubs for route information, parking space discovery, and more.

? Connected domestic appliances capable of monitoring food stocks and making food delivery orders on your behalf
? Home audio systems which allow music to follow you round the home

We were living in the Northwest on an island in the Puget Sound and in June we received an invitation to attend a conference in Las Vegas. We jumped at it.
After spending time in the on the island and having rather cool weather we were looking for warmer weather, but...
Was it hot? Funny you would ask. When we had landed and the pilot said, "Welcome to Las Vegas; the current temperature is 112 degrees," I thought I had misunderstood her. I quickly checked and confirmed it with my iPhone.
So here's a question: What do you suppose I said to everyone I spoke to, emailed, and texted the next couple of days?
I told everyone I knew about the hot weather. "It's 112 degrees here!!"
Why not? It was interesting, current, local, and a very personal experience. This is the way we talk to people we know. You do the same thing every day. When you meet a friend, you share a recent piece of your life, you don't tell a story about a stranger.

The new iPhone 5 is headed toward your area soon. What is this about being poured instead of cast? It's supposed to be lighter and have a possible larger screen.
