Apple's
Iphone
Iphone for everyone?
It is impossible to mention a cell phone, smartphone, or mp3
player without referrence to Apple's blockbuster product, the
Iphone. Apple is a market leader and an innovator and the
Iphone is picking up where the Ipod left off. How many
commercials for new phones do you see where each phone is being
compared to the Iphone in hopes of stealing some market share
away from Apple? In the realm of Touchscreen phones, the Iphone
truly is king!
We've been hearing of the Iphone killer and which new phone
is going to take down Apple, and yet, none have even come close
to Apple. So, how does Apple do it? What is it about the Iphone
that makes people pay more to get it?
Number has to the igenuity of Apple and what they've been
able to do. They entered a market that was dominated by
names such as Nokia, Samsung, Ericsson, Motorola, etc.
as the underdog and they have turned the market upside
down. The ingenuity in that organization is amazing. In the
90's Apple was almost out of business and their turnaround
story is akin to the story of "Cinderella".
The Iphone has focused on the consumer side of the market,
and now that they've seen so much success, they are venturing
into the business side. The phone offer tremendous amounts of
memory, which allows for the storage of media files, pictures,
music, etc. The number one problem that users complain about
other phones on the market...even the Blackberry is the lack of
memory. Iphone understands the needs of its users and gives
them plenty of memory. This feature in itself has been a
catalyst for some to choose the Iphone over its
competitors.
