As Aino had mentioned in her post about apple adding value such as being able to “take notes in class, play games (many different kinds of game), edit video, etc.”. After reading that post, I completely agree with how Apple brings value with just more than the iPad itself but rather its wide range of applications available for Apple products.
Basically an application can be created by anyone, and upon approval and formalities with Apple, the app can be free or sold! Quite an interesting concept when it first game out and many people who satisfied a want/need made money with it.
But in my opinion, Apple makes more than just programs and technology gadgets. The Apple logo/branding itself adds value because it satisfies the want of people – whether it is the expensive (rich) image, the tech-savvy, or the need to belong.
So…that leads to my question – they’re are many different brands that also make tablets such as Samsung and Microsoft, why buy the iPad? What does the value that an iPad adds to you that the other brands can not?
