Tim Cook said a few weeks ago that users interested in buying a car Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), they have to wait until such a product is launched, he said that for now the company should only explore the idea of manufacturing a car.
Various rumors and actions taken by Apple in the past have completely contradicted it, and a modification made today for the trademark patent of iCloud confirms again the fact that in Cupertino the idea of developing a car is taken very seriously.
Specifically, the trademark patent for the name iCloud has been expanded today to cover including automobiles, trains, airplanes and many other components of this type of machinery, the Apple company trying to hide its true intentions in a broad classification of coverage.
There is a chance that today's change is also related to CarPlay, but there are also chances that everything is related to future functions that Apple would like to offer for the electric and autonomous car that is about to be launched on the market.
