In the most recent market analysis from the NPD Group, iOS has assumed control of 43 percent of smartphone sales. 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.

Starbucks® has appealed by offering a mobile app which allows for ordering, tipping, and choosing the desired location of pickup (Starbucks Newsroom, 2014). Launched in Portland, Oregon, in 2014, plans were put in place to expand in 2015. The mobile ordering experience has been integrated into the already existing Starbucks mobile app, and My Starbucks Rewards® program. Continuing to utilize the expanding features of mobile possibilities, Starbucks® is growing with customer demand. Realizing the growing possibility of income from the use of the app, Starbucks has initiated a plan to expand the mobile app even more (Meola, 2016). In addition, sales through the mobile app has continued to grow, and, therefore, inspired the expansion of offerings through mobile communication. Studies have concluded that the use of the mobile app has become a core strategy for the business, and future growth for the Starbucks app will include recommendations to the customer for additional products. This writer considers the use of the mobile app to still be in the growing stages of the product life cycle. The maturity stage would indicate that the product has reached a peak (Solomon, Marshall, Stuart, 2012). However, not everyone has joined in the forces of utilizing the possibilities of the mobile app. Even though it would seem that most people have a cell phone, a select few only use the device for calling and texting. Therefore, the market is still growing and enticing new app

Of the many disruptive innovations that are impacting computing, social networking and how people and companies communicate, smartphones are among the most significant. Their impact on the traditional PC market continues unabated with research firms including the wlel-respected Gartner Group claiming that there are more smartphones sold in 2011 than traditional laptop PCs, a point Apple Inc., likes to mention in their annual report as their iPad is leading this assault on traditional computing (Apple Investor Relations, 2012). Smartphones are also re-ordering existing enterprise software areas long held under the control of such large and conservatively run companies including IBM, Oracle, SAP and others (Franke, Schreier, 2010). Due to the strength of the disruptive nature of this technology, market research and advisory firm Gartner states that approximately 469 M units were sold in the last year with this year's forecast being 1.1B total worldwide (Apple Investor Relations, 2012). As smartphones are used the majority of the time for keeping consumers and companies both linked to social networks, regardless if they are public or private

To continue to compete in the mass consumer market, RIM will need to design a specific product line that targets the masses and price competitively to make an impact in market share. This new line of Blackberry smart phone products must be price sensitive allowing a sales advantage. Revamping the Blackberry App Store will play a critical role in attracting new customers. Providing customers with a larger variety of applications is necessary to attract a larger younger non-corporate demographic group. Developing more applications will be a challenge, however creating greater financial initiatives for third-party application developers will help overcome this. To help further boost app development, RIM will establish partnerships with carriers to develop and sell apps, allowing carriers a mutual benefit from app revenue. Apple has removed the carrier revenue app benefits. RIM will re-introduce that opportunity to the carrier to strengthen relationships, along with carrier branded phones. The marketing of the new product line will be critical toward its success. Thus, improved carrier partnerships will

Other companies had become rich with the app model leading to a digital boom in the related industry. (Rickman, 2012).

With Apple being so far ahead of their competition, the only problem one can foresee in Apple’s future is how long they can sustain such innovation before they plateau. Apple does a phenomenal job at releasing their innovative products before their competition, but if their innovation cannot hold steady, this may lead to changes in demand for their products considerably. This can be seen with their release of the iPhone, the first successful touch screen cellular phone. Although people swarmed to the iPhone when it was first released because of its advanced technology, as the years have passed, other similar designs, including those with android and windows based operating systems, have drawn a considerable portion of the market. A clear representation of Apple’s attempt to regain some of this market can be seen when the iPhone was released to Verizon Wireless’ customers in
