Former Apple CEO Says Apple Needs cheaper iPhone
Former Apple CEO John Sculley, the man who is blamed for the outing of Steve Jobs in 1985 as CEO of Apple says Apple needs to bring a cheaper version of iPhone to the market. John Sculley says the reason for Apple’s recentl slip up is that competitors such as Samsung are making cheaper devices. Scully also believes other companies like Samsung have also caught up to Apple. Should Apple start developing cheaper iPhones, maybe thats what made the iPhone the iPhone. The only problem is Apple could make cheaper Smartphones but then the iPhone then becomes less exclusive. “Apple needs to adapt to a very different world,” Sculley said. “As we go from $500 smartphones to even as low, for some companies, as $100 for a smartphone, you’ve got to dramatically rethink the supply chain and how you can make these products and do it profitably.” Yungjohnnybravo x TatWZA

New Research Suggests Teens Think Apple is No Longer Cool
According to research done by Buzz Marketing Group (who specialize in Teen marketing) suggests that Teens no longer think Apple is a cool brand. According to the research Buzz Marketing thinks teens no longer like Apple products because the brand Apple has become so popular. Now this is were the research in my eyes becomes suspect, Buzz Marketing says Teens are leaning towards Microsoft’s Surface Tablet and leaving Apple’s iPad. I’m sure Microsoft wised that was happening, with the poor sales their putting up I’m sure no one is checking for the Surface tablet. We will see if this affects Apple’s business in the future when these teens have actual buying power. Yungjohnnybravo x TatWZA
