Apple recently released their newest versions of the iPhone 5. The iPhone 5s and the iPhone 5c are the newest version of the iPhone and are a huge hit. Just in the first weekend nine million were sold and it is predicted that most of the sales were the more expensive version, the 5s. They sold about 4 million more of these two versions in the first weekend than the iPhone 5 when it was first released. They believe that this is because it is the first time the iPhone is available in a variety of colors and they released two versions at the same time. Apple was in desperate need of some kind of financial boost. There had not been much profit growth the Apple stock was not doing too well, but this launch was the perfect fix for Apple. The results of the release was even more than what Apple expected. There had been rumors that Apple was failing but they proved the rumors wrong.
On the other hand, there have been some complaints about the new iPhone. I read in another article from Seattle Times that it is not as great as people have made it seem. Some of the features do not work as well as some people thought. For example, the finger print detector causes security issues with the phone. Also people expected to be able to surf the web while talking on the phone but that was not the case. Battery life was another thing that customers had problems with. The battery is still relatively weak, like in all the other versions. There are many other problems that people have had with these phones that are mentioned in the article. This article fails to mention any of the success that these new iPhones have and focuses solely on the negatives.
I am a huge supporter of the Apple Company and I think that releasing two iPhones at once was an extremely clever idea, along with adding color. I do not think that it is possible for the company to fail because just when you think that there can be absolutely no more advancing in smart phone technology, Apple proves us wrong.
