When touchscreen phones first started coming out, they were stylus based and did not have the most intuitive interface. However, when Apple released the iPhone several years ago, they revolutionized the phone industry as we knew it and started the smart phone development craze. These days the choice is not as simple. If you go cell phone shopping, instead of having a few Windows Mobile phones and one iPhone to choose from, you have around three iPhone models and around thirty Android devices, not including tablets and iPads. With the vast majority of phones on the market running Android OS, you would expect Android devices to have access to the latest apps. This is not the case. In fact, Apple mobile devices running iOS tend to get the best apps first. With the large number of users …show more content…
While both platforms have many operating system (OS) versions to consider, Android phones can have many different kinds of processors, and it can be hard optimizing an app for all of them. Another problem that can be tricky to work with is screen size. On iOS, developers only deal with a few iPhone or iPad sizes, but with Android, they must accommodate for almost every screen size possible. This makes app development difficult, for they must figure out a suitable ratio to scale everything by. Certain engines like Unity do this automatically, but if a developer is programing an app from scratch, he will be required to implement these features manually. There are also developers that when payed will port an iOS game to Android for the developer. Android phones or tablets may not have a gyroscope or camera either, which can make several games or apps impossible to use. By warning users in the description of the app, developers can be certain that the users playing the game have the proper hardware needed to use the

Apps are somewhat hard to make because of software differences, they have a simpler code, which creates less time to make. The products that the software covers are also apart of their credibility as a brand. iOS covers the product line of apple which includes Macbooks, iPads, iPhones, and iWatch. While android covers a larger base of products, they lack the software reliability from their users of product. Samsung is a great example of this problem with recent blowing up of their products, which doesn 't only affect their brand name but also the software that backs up the product.
With all the hype surrounding the iPod post its introduction into the electronics market, it should be of no surprise that iPod’s unmatched demand for such distinct music management tool would lead Apple to add iPod’s features to the most sold electronic device to date: the cell phone. Thus, you get a hybrid called the iPhone. This highly anticipated electronic trend setter without fault had numbers of people waiting in line at the Apple store in New York; iPod fans want to be among the first to explore some of the most innovative phone features to date. Among those features you will find a 3.5 inch touch screen (the largest of all smart phones), Wi-Fi connectivity, the most usage time of all smart phones, i.e. talk time, internet use, or video playback, and many more impressive characteristics. The iPhone has, thereby, revolutionized the cell phone industry to become a potential best designed and most admired phone of the decade.

Nepal Tele Talk, distributor and marketer of Gionee smartphones in Nepal imports the phones from the manufacturer in China. As it becomes very difficult for the distributor itself to provide the phones directly to the consumers, the distributor chooses to do so with the support of various retailers and has a large number of retails for the very purpose. It is very much suggested that for the marketer to enjoy more profitability, he needs to concentrate on gaining higher sales (Michalk, 2014). To gain higher sales it is necessary for more outlets to be present so that more number of customers can have reach and access to the Gionee smartphones. With this in mind, Nepal Tele Talk, supplies the smartphones to 600 retail outlets and from the current 600 retail outlets, consumers can choose their preferred Gionee smartpone and purchase it for use. Since the reach is at more places, more consumers come in contact with the smartphones and there are more chances of them buying the smartphones, which increases the sales and ultimately profitability for the distributor as well as the manufacturer. This is the distribution channel of Gionee smartphones in
When it comes to smart phone market share in the United States, Apple still trails Android by almost 10%. But if you are to break out the market share figures then you will notice that IPhone reigns supreme by a very wide margin. According to a lot of recent data compiled by ComScore, Phone’s share of the United States smartphone market now is about 43.6%, followed by Samsung which is at 27.6%. Apples market has increased by 4% almost every year, while Samsung has been dropping by 4% almost every year. Although Apple is doing a bit better than Samsung overall, Samsung is still topping Apple with their Android. During the second quarter of 2015 Samsung took a 21.7 percent of the global smartphone market, with shipments 73.2 million units. A reason I feel Samsung is doing much greater then apple right now is their ability to have all these different features, which not only add modern things to their phone but also longevity. With the three new water proof phones that Samsung has come out with Apple has yet to release their first
"While practically everybody today is a potential mobile phone customer, everybody is simultaneously different in terms of usage, needs, lifestyles, and individual preferences," explains Nokia's Media Relations Manager, Keith Nowak. Understanding those differences requires that Nokia conduct ongoing research among different consumer groups throughout the world. The approach is reflected in the company's business strategy:
There are many different brands that produce Android smart phones. Along with different brands, as you can imagine there are an abundance of models too. So whatever you may desire in a phone, there are many different options to choose from when selecting an Android. As I stated earlier, the Google Play Store do not have many limitations on apps. This allows companies and individuals to upload and create their own apps, causing there to be more apps available to Android users. Not only are there more apps, the selection is much more broad and a desirable type of application may come in different forms over the Google Play Store. This also allows different music players to be downloaded and used. Music can easily be downloaded onto an Android and played with the many different music applications. The possibilities when it comes to music on an Android are infinite really. On the other hand, iPhone only has one brand making the phones and that is Apple. So only one company makes the phones and only releases a few models every year. So the options are much more limited and the decision is more likely to be based on the dollar amount spent on an iPhone. The App Store iPhones use is like a library that only holds bestselling authors. There are limitations set on the apps so the variety is much smaller than the Goggle Play Store and the diversity of applications is nothing compared to the Androids market. Along with being limited on
The very first iPhone was announced by the founder of Apple, Steve Jobs, in 2007. His vision was to reinvent the phone. iPhones have revolutionized smartphones and have shaped the cell phone industry into what it is today. On January 9, 2007, Steve Jobs put together an incredible keynote presentation. He stated that he would be “introducing a wide-screen ipod with touch controls, a revolutionary mobile phone, and a breakthrough Internet device” (Ritchie, 2015). The audience assumed that this meant that Mr. Jobs would be launching three separate devices. However, it was only one device, the iPhone. Within the past 7 years, Apple has been able to tweak its iPhones by incorporating major redesigns. These redesigns use combinations
No company that falls behind the competition is guilty of standing completely still. But sometimes our efforts fail because of the level of commitment to change.
The smart phone was innovated heavily towards the late 2000’s and a lot of the newer features on them made their value skyrocket. There was a time when phones could only make calls, and even then the service was not that reliable. Eventually, companies start innovating with better resources of technology and start giving consumers more of a bargain for their dollars. The early 2000’s come around (2000-2004) and cell phones start to innovate text messaging, and some basis for PDA computing. The PDA industry did not last long because of the quick innovation ...
