U.S. technology blog Silicon Alley Insider Denver洛梅尔Author (Dan Frommer) today, the author pointed out that although Apple’s iPhone provides the company with a strong growth momentum, the leading mobile technology and the profits are very substantial, but its market share is still very limited . Following is the full text: mobile research firm ABI Research recently estimated that global mobile phone sales for the first quarter of 258 million, sales in March to 3,800,000. If there is no deviation in the forecast means that Apple’s iPhone accounted for only 1.5 percent of market share.
This also means that Apple is still huge room for growth, but also shows that the majority of mobile phone users to choose other brands of mobile phones, not all users have the opportunity to purchase the iPhone. We believe that the mobile phone market with more and more similar to the desktop market. With the importance of upgrading the software, users of mobile loyalty platform also improve. BlackBerry users are more willing to use the BlackBerry, and iPhone users more like iPhone … …
There are many users think that Apple should improve the current situation in order to maintain the growth of iPhone, the user’s recommendations include:
– IPhone software platform to keep ahead of the competition. This is Apple has already done that last month the company announced that it would launch this summer in the iPhone 3.0 software.
– Improve the iPhone. This may become a reality this summer. Apple is likely to be held in June at the Worldwide Developers Conference, or to display a variety of new iPhone. Although unlikely with the current iPhone has too many different, but will be faster and better.
– To maintain low prices iPhone: iPhone sales of 199 U.S. dollars is more than double the 399 U.S. dollars. If the price is 99 U.S. dollars will be reduced to what? We believe that this year may see a ultra-low price of iPhone.
– The expansion of distribution channels of iPhone: Apple said this year will enter the China market, will also be in the United States with more operators, but a short period of time is also very difficult to become a reality.
– Continue to expand its iPhone operating system platforms. iPod Touch is a great product, why not introduce a range between the iPhone and the iMac flat-panel equipment?
