Joseph Palenchar (2013) noted that “the old days saw BlackBerry’s market share in global smartphone shipments peak in 2009 at 20% and fall to 5% in 2012, marking the company’s lowest level since 2003.” (para. 3) “Increase the chances that BlackBerry can regain some of its lost market share during the make-or-break year of 2013” (para. 9) Revenue is declining because the market is becoming smaller. With Apple, Samsung’s products are growing deeply in customers’ impression, BlackBerry is standing in the behind position compare with those two brands. BlackBerry is not enough strong to attract those Apple and Samsung’s customers to choose its products even they produce the new products.

The smart phone has become more than that of just an accessory only to be seen among the rich and wealthy it has become a social standard were ones personality can be understood by one’s phone. Now a day it appears as though almost every one owns a mobile phone and the teachers can tell. The smart phone can access the web from almost any location and there special phone that are used only for social media. Speaking of social media the ability for one to communicate with a far away relative was never more of a dream until recently. Well it was just in the late 90s when phone were the size of dinosaurs, extremely expensive and the only thing they could do was call.

In the article “Apple Forecasts First Sales Drop Since 2003 on iPhone Slowdown” by Adam Satariano he discusses many factors contributing to Apple’s first sales decline in over 13 years and what steps they plan to take to recover. Apple’s revenue was expected to produce $55.5 billion this quarter but the company believes it will be $50-$53 billion dollars (Satariano, “Apple Forecast”). This decreased is believed to show signs of saturation in the smart phone market. Along with iPhones, Apple also had a pause in its iPad and Mac sales last quarter (Satariano, “Apple Forecast”). Apple is still overwhelmingly profitable but they cannot rely on the adoption of smart phones to carry the iPhone sales anymore.

Worldwide demand for Smartphones was robust as a result of the availability of high-speed wireless networks, mobile access to corporate intranets, and the broad acceptance of e-mail and text messaging for both business and personal communications.  The Smartphone industry was projected to grow from 10 percent of the global mobile market to 30 percent over five years. The growth is clear when considering in 2007 that the US enjoyed a 100% increase in user numbers with a 53% increase worldwide. Sales of units are predicted to be 500 million for 2008 and 2009 globally.

The analysis further shows the market for basic phones has dwindled and that the cell phone market is fast becoming a smartphone market. The demand for anything other than smartphones is evaporating. This push toward high-end smartphones is helping not only Apple, but also Google and Samsung, which are benefiting from the desire of consumers to carry these all-powerful ‘mini’ computers in their pockets. With the connectivity these smartphones present, users are never left ‘out of

The U.S. cell phone industry quietly launched in 1983 as an exclusive product targeting affluent professionals with $3,995 of disposable income to spend on a cell phone (Wolpin, 2014). While sales exceeded the industry’s initial projections due to an unanticipated ‘cool factor’ associated with having a cell phone, sales were pedestrian due to a limited number of cell phone providers selling the service in major metropolitan areas. Therefore, the industry slowly grew to 340,000 subscribers by 1985 (CTIA, 2016). In 1992, with the advent of 2 year service contracts, cell phone service providers began selling cell phones for a penny to accelerate adoption of the technology. Subsequently, by the end of 1995, the number of cell phone subscribers

Apple created more headline news by releasing the iPhone 5 on September 21, 2012. The iPhone 5 wows customers with its new sleek design, 8 mega pixel “iSight” camera, 4-inch Retina display and its ultra-processor.

In today’s society cellular devices are not only popular in the United States, but in many other countries worldwide. Not only do cell phones contribute to one’s personal life, but business use as well. Most people have hectic lives, and using a device to help schedule appointments, send out mass text messages, or even remind you to call back your boss, is unimaginably convenient. Cell phones within the past five years have reached mile stones compared to the phones used back when cell phones were first invented. Even though there is still a diverse range for cell phones on the market, the two most popular brands seem to create an argument on choosing the right phone, Apple and Android. Each with impressively fast processors, and new

With the iPhone, unlike the iPod, Apple is not creating a new market it is “muscling the mobile market” (BBC). In fact in the UK, more than 80% of the households have already a mobile phone; however the mobile market is changing so the customers are not only buying a mobile phone for its functionality but also for the other features that it can provide such as the design for example. Since, there is an established market; there will be two main types of competition: one against the distributor and another one against the product.
