Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), will invest an additional 1.5 billion dollars in research and development until the end of September, the total expenses for this segment will amount to no less than 5.9 billion dollars for the entire fiscal year of the Apple company, a figure higher than the total receipts many companies.
Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), invests more and more money in the research and development of new products, and this in the conditions that it will reduce by 1 billion dollars the general expenses with the purchase of production tools or new buildings, the cost reduction being massive for those from Cupertino .
The additional amount allocated for research and development is not presented as having a clear objective, so it will be divided among the multiple divisions that develop new products for the company Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC),, but it seems that the Apple car will have a bit more money than before.
Those from Apple argue that the reduction of general expenses has nothing to do with giving up the development of one or more important products, being done only by streamlining certain projects carried out over time, or others to be initiated.
Apple ramped up its R&D spending by $1.5 billion this year but plans to cut capital expenditure — current spending on equipment — for the rest of the year. A company spokeswoman said Apple lowered the forecast because it was able to spend more efficiently for tooling equipment and facilities. "There are no changes in our product plans," she said.
Although Apple spends billions of dollars annually on research and development, the amounts allocated by it for new projects are still lower than those allocated by Samsung, for example, the Koreans investing much more in this segment, but that's also because they have services much more diverse.
Research and development is essential for Apple to maintain its position in the market and to continue to evolve, so it is very likely that these expenses will be higher and higher in the future as more and more important innovations are needed for users.
