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”).

This includes judgmental approaches. The importance of this strategy is to address the forecasting subject by assuming that consumers are aware of high quality of the company’s products and can recommend others to buy the same product. While utilizing this approach, the company gathers the knowledge and opinions of the people, therefore they become in a positions where they would know the appropriate demand for their products. Because of utilizing this strategy, Apple Company’s worldwide annual revenue grew by $65 billion in 2010, and increased to $156 billion in 2012 (Mehling, 1997). One of its products, the iPhone, when was first launched, has been so comprehensively respected that it was dubbed the "Jesus Phone”. Five years later, its impact was so huge that its latest recapitulation possibly would accomplish the astounding achievement of redeeming the US economy. The tremendous growth of its iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad products has brought about the large growth of the company. In order to forecast the demand for its product through judgmental approach, the company carries out surveys as an approach which is called “bottom up” approach where everybody contributes his or her opinion that makes up their final forecast (Apple Computer Inc., 2006). This strategy has enabled the company to introduce innovations in cell phones, transportable music players, and private computers that has increased the demand. For
Apple Computers is a well-established and highly profitable company that has several leading technology- and computer-based products on the market, and that retains a highly loyal consumer base in its niche personal computing market (Yahoo Finance, 2012; Hoovers, 2012). Though the company faltered for some time in its history, it has again reached the pinnacle of innovation and progress in the computing and technology industries, and its product rollouts constitute some of the most anticipated and avidly watched events each year by early adopters and investors alike (Yahoo Finance, 2012; Hoovers, 2012).

Hey Brianna! I think you have made some great points about Apple, and i have learned a few things from your post. I am also a huge apple fan I have a Macbook and an Iphone, but my liking for Apple has changed after some recent events. Apple has recently been sued for false storage space which is a bit concerning seen as you play around 200-400 dollars for an Iphone, it has been proven that a 16GB Iphone 6, actually has only about 13GB of space because 3 of those GB have been taken by the operating system and pre-installed apps. The lawsuit has also charged Apple with a Machiavellian strategy, that would cause people to buy iCloud for extra storage. This is false advertising which is against the law, and has made me think a little less highly
To the average technologically advanced American, Twitter is one of the most visited social media sites. From a popularity contest standpoint, Twitter would be amongst the top winners; however, when evaluating Twitter from a business analytical aspect it might not be a lucrative business venture. The attractive attribute to Twitter Inc. is the fact the sites does not make any of its users pay.

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
