How long Apple can survive with their ecosystem strategy!

[jrrsparkles]

I always wanted to ask you about the existence of APPLE devices, especially smartphones and mac. Because their only strategy is to convince them that they device is safe and secure which is not 100% true and their insane pricing for the gadgets released is getting outrageous.

So do you think they will survive forever or will go down in the next 10 years if they don't make any changes?

From this, you're able to understand why branding is important for a product. And by the time when Steve Jobs was still there and explains the feeling of owning one capturing the moments that you will have to remember a life time is what sold to the people.

Until it's been developed and the luxury feeling that a consumer needs it has been built. They just managed to maintain that and good thing they're successful on it.

No one knows, really.

They are selling the experience but how long they can keep doing it and to be honest people started to realize the importance of spending compared to the previous decades and technically apple products aren't worth the cost they sell it but somehow they are managing to be the market leader in the smartphone market but the change is not far away in my opinion.

at this point, what apple is selling is not the product itself but rather their brand we are paying this much because apple is already an established brand

its prices and its “upgrades” are no longer aligned but with apple serving as a statement of economic or social status, i have no doubt that it can continue to thrive especially with teenagers to young adults as their target audience

If that's the case for now, there will still be billions of sales that are going to come from people that don't realize what you've realized.

What I can see is that Chinese phones are going to get a bigger share from them together with Samsung if they keep on just upgrading a few size of lens, etc. and will keep you selling experience.

They can't survive forever with that strategy and if I am not wrong for the last 3 years people started to ask questions about even the designing and how they can just move the lens from one side to another and release as new edition without any major hardware challenge at all.

Their only positive thing is efficiency and better performance of hardware just because the software is especially designed for that.
