At the release of the iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c, Apple sold a record 9 million iPhones. Last year, at the release of the iPhone 5, Apple sold 5 million iPhones, meaning their sales have almost doubled since last year. The new iPhone 5s is similar to the iPhone 5, only faster. The iPhone 5c is only different because it has a polycarbonate shell.
I think what Apple is doing is very clever. Now, I'm not saying I agree with what they are doing, but they definitely know what they're doing. They continuously release new iPhones and iPods so that people will want to get the latest version of whatever they need. The Apple company knows that people have a natural instinct of wanting to be as good as everyone else. If we see that the new iPhone is coming out, we have a natural instinct of wanting to get it so that we aren't behind with the times, stuck with merely an iPhone 5 instead of 5s. Not only does Apple change the model, they also change things such as the charger cords and sizes, so that you will also have to buy a new charger cord and case. Apple has a very clever business plan, but it is also very sinister.

Well, I have to agree with you that it looks like apple is taking over the world. However I think that it's about time apple came out with something new, instead of just changing and reshaping what they already have.
ReplyDeleteI agree! I want something new, not just a stretched out iPhone 4!
Deletethe plan as you said is clever but sinister! the business is growing and i assume much more ail come from this and it won't just be phones and iPods
