Even though Apple is known as one of the leading technology in the U.S, its stock has significantly fallen down. According to The Wall Street Journal, Apple’s stock at its highest was $702.10 on September 21, 2012. If you take a look at Apple’s stock currently, it has had a big downfall over the past six months. It is revolving around $461.33. Many are wondering why is this happening? Some of the reasons are that there is a weak demand on PCs, therefore, this is hurting Mac sales. It also has to do with consumers not being satisfied with the iPad Minis price, which brings competitors such as Google’s Nexus 7 and Amazon’s Kindle Fire tablets. Since there is a lot of ongoing competition it may cause for Apple’s market to continue on falling.
Apple is known to offer one of the best qualities and services to their customers. Apple also offers many well-designed devices, such as Computers/Laptops (iMac, Macbook); Cellphones (iPhones); Tablets (iPads) and Music Devices (iPods). The only negative thing they have acquired onto customers is the high range in price therefore, this drives them to have less sales and provokes for customers to find better offers elsewhere.
This picture shows how an Apple Representative is informing the buyer what an iPad has to offer. They have currently come up with Wi-Fi 3G connection; which can be used through cellular connection with a monthly plan. This makes it easier for them to use their iPad at any location at all times. An iPad can offer the same as a Computer and a cellphone does, but the only good advantage of it is the weight and the size of it, which is more convenient for transportation.
Apple has had a high demand in all their products. Mac Pro as seen in the picture is not only being used at home, they are also being used on Universities and CUNY colleges. This is a great advantage to those who attend colleges to have an advantage of using Apple, for those who don’t own it. The question now is will Apple still be schools leading technology? Or will there be another creation or offers to take its place?
