In the “Lets talk iPhone” event iPhone 4S was released instead of the iPhone 5. iPhone 4S is an updated version of iPhone 4, it came up with the same design as its predecessor but has a better camera and processor placed in it. This is a disappointment for many reasons to many of the Apple fans.
iPhone 4 Market Value Going Down Due To New Better Android Based Devices
The market value of iPhone 4 was going down due to the launch of many better devices from it, which run on Android. There were half a dozen phones which were better than iPhone 4 but now with the release of iPhone 4S, Apple is once again in the headlines. Many better phones like HTC Sensation, Samsung Galaxy S ll and Android based Sony Ericsson phones were in the market which convince people that Apple might release next-gen iPhone 5, but this didn’t happen.
Comparison With Top Devices
A comparison between some top devices is shown below; one who has the green background is the winner:
Only Siri Feature Cannot Convince Public to Buy iPhone 4S
iPhone 4S has a feature named Siri in it which you can call a personal assistant. But only a single feature like this would not convince people to buy it.
Apple takes much time to release their new products. Galaxy S ll HD, HTC Titan and Droid Bionic are set to be released in the coming months so it might decrease the value of iPhone 4S.
Fans Expected a Much Better Device From Apple
Expectations of people were very high from the Apple but as they released an ordinary phone this is very disappointing for the fans out there. There were many rumors and news surfacing everyday about the release of iPhone 5 and it was told in a report that the iPhone 5 would be bought by half of North America but unfortunately it is not looking possible now.
Apple Stocks Fell Down After Announcement of iPhone 4S
After the announcement of iPhone 4S, Apple stocks fell down to 5% and even at one point to 9%. At the moment the stocks are in a recovering phase and it will do so as iPhone 4S sale reports come. Stocks are expected to be on the top after major announcements as 2.5% increase in Amazon’s stock value was seen after Kindle Fire was released. Stock values of Microsoft and RIM were going to the top as Apple was going down. When iPhone 4 was released the stock value went down to 5.5% but it made a lot of money and said to be the most successful smartphone of the history. Apple has a history of not revealing their products. Their products are reveled when they are very close to be launched.
By releasing iPhone 4S and disappointing the fans could it still be possible for Apple to continue ruling and make great profits out of it?
