Many
national and international products and corporations have surprisingly failed
in the last 20 years. Products that are often still used by many consumers
failed to succeed due to countless mistakes and mishaps. Not all corporations
and products had the intentions of misleading or being dubious toward its
consumers, most just simply failed. As a media analyst, I am curious to what other
current popular corporations and products will fail in the future due to their
dubious, misleading, and deceptive practices for the profit of their consumers.
Failed corporations such as Block Buster, Movie Gallery, and Toys R Us lost its
consumers and failed at innovating simply because of the times being updated in
society, and of course, the lack of promotional use. Products like Nokia,
BlackBerry, Polaroid, etc. have failed to innovate from the same reasons, but
their main issue was the lack of enhancement in the products. As a owner of a
iphone 8 plus, I ask myself often, though the Apple corporation keeps tabs on
making sure their products are updated, how will they fail to innovate in today’s
world with their products and corporation?
Apple’s history is vast, the corporation,
company, and its products turned 43 this year. The 43-year company has seen
some of the most crucial moments in technology, as well as good. As many
others, if you are familiar with apple products, you are well aware that the company
has witnessed some of their own big launches in products over the past years. The
firm has come from the bottom to the top to being one of the most liked products
in America. From selling hand-built computer kits in a garage, to selling over
a million products during its time. The key milestones of apple’s corporation
timeline ranges from the year of 1976 to the current year we are in now, so how
can this corporation or company fail to innovate, why will they eventually fail
to innovate?
Apple currently has 4.1 million
active devices worldwide. The list of apple products stands firmly on its own,
but the main products are its cell-phones. Apple has built its success based on
a consumer who is needy for buying its main products, especially products that
are the latest and greatest, especially iphones. The Evolution of the iphone ranges
from year 2007-2019. It’s still unbelievable that 16 GB was the only thing that
you could add to the first and original model of the cell phone device. As far
as memory space the iphone 3G didn’t differ too much from the original iphone.
The iphone 4 was most likely the phone to differ from the previous ones simply
because it was the first iphone to have a front facing camera. Though the
iphone 4s may not have seemed completely different from the iphone 4, it was,
from the camera being 5 MP to 8 MP, which was a sufficient upgrade, as well as
siri being added to the device’s collection. 5 million units were sold for the
iphone 5, and then the iphone 5s sold 9 million, with the iphone 5c selling the
same amount. It is definite that each iphone had its own significance of change
added to it, but the iphone 6 was the official enhancement for apple when it
came to its cellphone devices and the beginning of misleading its consumers.
Ever notice the conflict with every
apple product? They stop working at a certain time, especially its cellphones. Many
people and apple users believe that apple purposely does this to continue to
expand their brand as well as make a profit from its consumers. Apple users
often switch products, not only because they have to, but because they are
required to. If one was to purchase an original iphone today, would it even
work? It is believed that apple cellphones are now designed to work at an
extended amount of time, which requires the consumer to go buy the latest and updated
cellphone.
According to Forbes list, there are
a series of issues that come with being an iphone user, or simply using the iphone
device. Several reviews state how using Siri while driving can be dangerous
because her directivity isn’t as clear. In the year of 2017. Apple admitted to
slowing down certain cellphone devices for quote on quote safety issues, but
when the consumer tries to go get the device replaced with the same one they
already had at their local carrier’s store they walk out with a high receipt
from purchasing a new apple iphone, which answers the question to how does the
apple product and corporation try to be persuasive for financial purposes? The
main ideal is that apple figure that if they continue to make news and destroy
the accessibility of the older versions that consumers will have no other
choice but to purchase the new and improved version.
Apple’s iOS’s update frequency has increased
by 51% since last year. Cool updates, attractive settings and backgrounds, and
new concepts that are hard to resist is why consumers continue to purchase iphones,
rather than switching to androids or other devices that are considered to be
below apple products in general. People love their iphones, and of course the
iphone is considered to be one of the best gadgets of all time, but even the
best devices have disadvantages, and mishaps. Overall the big-time corporation
and its products are starting to resemble other gadgets and devices that have
been pushed and sold in the wrong manner for financial purposes without caring whether
the consumer is wasting his or her money or not. The prices
for a new apple phone are steady growing and could start to be a problem in the
next year or so. No one is sure how long this innovation will last, but the
reality of it is eventually it will end because the company is falling behind rivals
due to their devices lasting longer and keeping more money in consumer’s
pockets.
