The innovative approach is described for the iPhone for several months before the initial release and has been the best of the best when it comes to mobile phones over the past year. The first official release of the iPhone, Apple ran a commercial promoting Channel Four new phone.
Depicts the first commercial new iPhone, the next step of the popular iPod. IPod was all the rage at this point, the iPhone will be the next generation of devices iPod, Oh, and also the phone! Advertising brings all the advanced features available to iPod and more, is the point “There is never any iPod that can do this.”
“So, let’s say you’re watching Pirates of the Caribbean”

Boasted the first iPhone commercial four comfort, innovation, and usefulness of a single product with features not only on the phone or music device, but the products that can, among other things, listening to music, watch videos, view images, make conference calls, check e-mail mail, Web browsing and maps offer.
Not only use the Apple TV to their marketing strategy, but use their website, and dissemination of videos, it also published a handful of press releases issued in a single document. Apple often uses this ploy to build hype, and allow the consumer wants more than that.
With versions of the press Apple short, giving the audience a little off, “and took advantage of Apple’s law of physics social – news, nature abhors a vacuum in the absence of real information, and will take those who are interested in the product of any rumor that comes their way. Apple will disavow publicly Web sites that rumors about the race to abandon its plans for companies, marketing departments, but secretly you should be happy, and it will cost a lot to buy this type of Web advertising. ” (Silverman, 2007)
Not limited to the official website for the iPhone to provide information about this product. The site offers the best tips and tricks to use the iPhone, as well as a huge fire applications. Almost the entire page displays pictures of the iPhone applications, provides “the application of the Week,” The site also contains sections entitled “Applications of everything!” “Applications of the top”. Apple site is a great marketing tool for existing iPhone users and consumers who have an interest in purchasing the iPhone. And to promote the application of the establishment of a strong source of revenue for Apple. How do you see customers the highest rated applications are more likely to download the application, rather than search through more than 25,000 applications to find the one that can be of any value to the consumer.
The success of smaller goals that Apple has focused in the beginning. It was hoped that the apples with this goal, and the fact that 48% of the public does not already own an iPod, Apple, and will allow them to achieve their expectations of 10 million sales by the end of 2008.
A month before the release of the iPhone, Solutions Research Group, a glimpse of the cross section which is aware of the phone. Prediction of potential buyers for the day to release classified the majority of customers T-Mobile, AT & T GSM based solely on competitive products, and 15%. The second group plans to buy the new iPhone has been on the basis of existing customers for the company AT & T, and 12%. Solutions Research Group also found that 72% of males compared with 28% of women were more likely to achieve in the phone for the price of not less than $ 499. (Mali, 2007)
It is clear that the current target audience for Apple are young people between 20 and 35, and wealthy teenagers, “the jet set -” and “mobile” employees who work outside the office.
Apple is known for its ads simplistic, but catchy. In recent television commercials for the Apple iPhone, “an application of this” is the new logo, which puts a strong focus on applications available on the store. Applications, or applications, are “all categories, from games to business, education, finance to health and fitness, productivity to social networking. Designed these applications to exploit the capabilities of the iPhone, such as Multi-Touch, the accelerometer, wireless, and GPS” (Apple 0.2009 .) Apple claims that have applications +25,000 currently available, and counting.
Focus on the variation of the target applications opens a lot. There are basically applicable to all. And some commercials announced the iPhone, you can find the conditions of the snow on the mountains, and track the calories in your food, and find exactly where you parked your car. You can find a taxi in a strange city, and find your share of the bill for a table of 5, or learn to fix wobbly shelf. You can read the review of a restaurant and read the magnetic resonance imaging, or just plain old reading a book. These are just some of the features that Apple promoted through television commercials. IPhone applications offers every feature imaginable.
And when it was released initially in the iPhone, priced at $ 599 heavy. So far, and rushed hundreds of thousands of people to get the new phone, branching more than a third of what they should have waited an extra 3 months. 3 months after the initial release, Apple reduced the price of the iPhone for $ 399. This angered the faithful Apple customers and consumers who bought the new phone a few months ago. A year later, Apple once again lower the price of the iPhone at $ 199.66% less than their original price.
In July 2007, the iPhone all the hype. I think it was a decision to release the phone a bit on the Apple of $ 599 based on greed. However, it was of its more innovative in the market, and give freedom to the price of the iPhone in all that they want. Many believe that Apple has reduced the price after the discovery of iPhone sales lower than expected. Apple, however, states that the rate cut “to stimulate holiday sales predicted that Apple could achieve the stated goal to sell the iPhone in 1 million by the end of September.” (Dalrymple, 2007)
As for the product life cycle of a mobile phone or Apple’s product, including the Apple iPod, and often lower prices months after the initial release. Technology is always competing against the “latest and greatest” while maintaining a great price on the market. If Apple does not reduce the price of the iPhone, will reduce the customer base quickly, and many consumers are not willing to spend $ 599 on a cell phone, regardless of the number of useful features on the phone can be done.
How von must still number one on the smart phones, and the product continues to grow, and increase the volume capacity, and increase the number of applications available, and provide new features that were issued during the iterations the new phone, and continue to provide greater value to the iPhone, while still price relevant.
