The iPhone 6 and 6 Plus were announced yesterday Sept. 9,
2014 at Apple’s event in Cupertino. We all expected a new iPhone or two, and
many expected a watch as well. These new products will revolutionize what we
expect from our technology. However, I find it interesting that the iPhone 6
plus has a 5.5” diagonal screen. In 2010, at a press conference with a Q and A
session, Steve Jobs was asked a question about the iPhone 4 and its antenna
issues. They person asking just wanted to know if there was anything they could’ve
done to avoid the issue. Jobs took the question as an opportunity to separate
Apple even further from other brands. He said that making a phone so big “you
can’t get your hand around it” would help, but “no one’s going to buy that.” Obviously opinions change and I’m sure if
Jobs were alive today he would have a clever response. What do you think; are
these "phablets" going to hold on and become the norm, or with the smaller iPhone
6 take the lead in sales?
I think the iPhone 6 plus is a product that will continue to make the larger cell phones more popular. The phone/tablets seem to be great for business people. I do think think that the iPhone 6 plus will sell more than the iPhone 6.
ReplyDeleteI believe the iPhone 6 Plus will convince the current Samsung owners to switch to Apple products. I believe the iPhone 6 will be suffice for the current iPhone users because either way both phones are larger than the previous models. I believe that the iPhone 6 plus will boost not necessarily sales but customers. I do believe the iPhone 6 will lead in sales because it is cheaper and will suffice for current iPhone users. But I believe the iPhone 6 Plus will be a great advantage for Apple to gain new clients and users.
ReplyDeleteI certainly see the bigger phones becoming the new norm. They are already the norm among most Samsung customers. I believe that larger screen phones will continue to increase in popularity as the world becomes more and more accustomed to using their smart phones as their primary source of access to the digital world.
