Those thinking of getting a new phone would want to consider waiting for the iPhone 6. Previously, any iPhones or other Apple products often scare consumers away with its huge price tag. It appears that the company will be looking to change that.
There are many hints that the upcoming iPhone 6 will be cheaper than ever. One analyst from Strategy Analytics revealed that the iPhone sales in 2013 has been really poor; recording a mere 13% in growth. This isn’t the case with Apple’s bitter rivals, Android, which recorded a whopping 63% increase in sales.
This is the likely future for the tablet market as well. While the iPad might be king of the tablets’ realm, Apple should not be complacent as the Android is catching up fast. Whatever that has occurred in the smartphone category is bound to replicate itself with the tablets if Apple overlook this.
The most important factor that influences the consumers purchase decision is simply the price. The economy is in its rough period at the moment and spending so much for a smartphone is simply not worth it. One great example is with the Nexus 5 which recorded an impressive sales record. Not only it is cheap but Google’s flagship device is also powerful.
The only way to avoid falling down the charts gradually is if Apple revised the price tag on its devices. This has been the debate among the tech-savvy population. There are those who see it as an impossible thing for Apple to do and also those who felt this is the only ticket way out to achieve a better sales record.
Nevertheless, we will find out for sure on how the Apple iPhone 6 will perform once it comes for a release later this year.
