Apple Iphone 4S a Success!
Comments(0) Despite all the criticism that the Iphone 4S received for being too “similar” to the Iphone 4, this new Apple product has sold at a very rapid pace. It has been on pace to break existing smartphone sales records in the United States, Europe and the UK. Long lines began to form outside retail outlets across the globe the day before the launch, as Apple devotees wanted to ensure they were one of the first to receive Apple’s newest product.
The Iphone 4s’s sales success can be directly related to the passing of Apple’s CEO, Steve Jobs. Customers aspired to obtain the last Iphone unveiled during Steve Job’s life, as they wanted something to “remember him by”. This played a big factor in the sales success of the new phone, however we should not be surprised with it’s accomplishment. After all, the 4s is an Iphone, and the best produced thus far. Although customers believe there is no much difference between the 4s and the 4 and that it is just a bridge between the 4 and the 5, this Iphone will be a memorable one as it is the last one during the life of Steve Jobs.
