We don’t need marketshare. We need Good Devices.
So “low end iPhones” will make Apple to be like Samsung. And I don’t like that, because Samsung doesn’t care about their costumers. They only want to sell it, no matter if the smartphone is good or bad. Their support it’s really bad…and applications support either… because people can say whatever they want, but Apps that work on the Samsung Galaxy S3 doesn’t work on low end Samsung “smart”phones.

Uma bela salada a análise do “sheik”.

Would you rather have profit or volume? Apple wins both on handsets and app sales.

Apple has already started chasing other avenues of products. Rather than sticking to their word on 7 inch tablets they shit out the mini. Leaving it lackluster, overpriced and with a high ceiling for improvement. The silly screen size increase on the Iphone 5 and the rumors if a larger Iphone also points towards late awkward hypocritical moves. Truth is apple made premium products that were marketed at premium prices. That strategy of making the “perfect” products…… When it’s only perfect for 6 months, it starts to wear thin. They got good at what they do, they blew up the smart phone and practically made the tablet market. But in the end they have had their noses in the air and it shows. The elitist attitude of some Apple enthusiasts, customers and writers playing it safe on the Internet has made Apple out to be down right snobby. “yeah, but it’s not a Mac.” Not to mention the bullying legal attacks. Apple made consumers forget the nuts and bolts and actual cost of a device, storage, and forget specs altogether. All while locking a customer into their ecosystem and convince people that their is nothing better then the box they have been put in. While the business is business and that is inevitable, Apple has made everyone forget that they are a company that is based to make money, they are not portrayed like Micro$oft. They have a cleaner look. Yet they refuse to give an inch to the customer in the way of options. Apple was, and still is overcharging for storage, using proprietary hardware and forcing iTunes down your throat.
publicly bluntly refusing to acknowledge and denouncing things that their competitors were throwing at them, only to do it a 6 months later. The nexus 7 and Kindle fire sales made the Ipad mini, not a team of elite designers headed by Steve Jobs. Remember, “dead on arrival”. Apple saw a new market that they have ignored because “affordable,” “cheap, ” , and “bang for your buck” were never a part of Apple’s marketing. If you didn’t have 300 bucks then you couldn’t get through the ipod gate of entry. Not to mention the 500 dollar ipad and Iphone price, and then the 1k-2k plus for a computer. Apple wanted the most money from the people that had the most money. They ignored China and most of any non English speaking countries all together. Then they realized that other companies were forced to seek out those markets. Acted like a business and started going after those markets. But the fact is Apple has made themselves out to be luxurious products. Productivity remains but the status symbol of Apple is really the last marketing campaign they have. After many years of making the “perfect” and “best” products leave them with nowhere to go and looking greedy. Other mobile Os’s are free to change and have evolved into serious competition. Solid manufacturers have made products to fill in the gaps that Apple wouldn’t cater to. The lack of open doors on Apple products had really led the experience of stagnation. Playing it safe with software and keeping it so ridged and uniform takes away from individuality, creativity and cuts off the growth of an operating system. Peoples input and community is crucially needed to improve and naturally evolve a device’s experience. Apple isn’t fading away anytime soon, but I feel the hype around their products might be.
