Apple’s StrategyEssay Preview: Apple’s StrategyReport this essayApple’s StrategyThe chief elements of Apple’s overall competitive strategy include the development and structure of its strategy by means of formulating an effective strategy through distinct innovation that has yielded the introduction of new products and improved existing products. Apple has implementation a categorical strategy that is associated to the innovation with their three core products, which are computers, media players, and cellular devices. To be specific, Apple attempts to meet the needs of a global market by offering customers innovative new products and improved existing products. A key piece of their strategy involves meeting the needs of the converging digital electronics and computer markets. Finally, Apple has opted to enhance its strategy through development and designing an operating system along with software technology, which can easily be protected through intellectual property laws.
• Article #0302, Apple’s Annual Report 2013 – Apple’s Strategic and Policy Priorities (APR) The APR’s are a series of meetings that Apple has had with management, business owners, and executives from the businesses they work for, about what aspects they share, what is planned, and how they might interact in a future product, and how Apple thinks it can help improve its approach to them, including: • Apple’s strategy to develop its strategic plans through the creation of new products and enabling innovative solutions
• Apple’s strategy to develop its strategic plans through the creation of new products and enabling innovations; • Apple’s plan to implement its strategy through its strategic design by the implementation of new technology to support new technology; • Apple’s strategy to improve its core products, including iWatch products using Apple’s iWatch software
• Apple’s strategy through its strategy through its strategy through its strategy to innovate by providing new products to enhance new products and customers
• Apple’s strategy to develop its strategies over time by introducing new products and engaging in strategic investments
• Apple’s strategy to deliver strategic products through its strategy to deliver new products and services
3. In the event of a competitive advantage for Apple’s operations, it has the unique opportunity to reduce costs or invest in new revenue streams by creating new products and services that will reduce its costs. The goal of Apple’s strategy is to build and maintain an advanced and rapidly changing business while increasing its revenues by providing products and services that improve the efficiency and competitiveness of its business. The product and service selection and pricing choices within its company’s company structure and strategic plans provide opportunities for competition to drive innovation. This is a core objective of Apple’s strategy as well as a major part of its strategy’s overall strategies. As a result, Apple’s strategy works in tandem with other firms’ strategy efforts to reduce competition and the costs of innovation. Apple’s strategy is also important for companies pursuing innovative products because it provides new products and services that will significantly reduce their costs and enhance efficiency. While innovation is usually the only way to increase revenue without significant cost, if competition comes into the market to increase prices or decrease margins in the service segment, the cost will increase. Although Apple’s strategy is designed around the existing products and services Apple sells and services, future products and services also include software, hardware, services technology, operating systems and other services that create new capabilities on a daily basis of Apple’s competitors. As a result, Apple’s strategy cannot be simply targeted at one or a very large segment of the business. In the event of an ongoing competitive advantage, however, it could help Apple increase its revenues and improve its business, while further increasing costs by ensuring that existing products and services are maintained. The strategy also is important to companies considering expanding its operation or hiring or recruiting new employees, because it eliminates traditional roles being filled by existing employees and replaces them with new and more specialized ones. As a result, Apple’s strategy provides an opportunity for significant business activity to be directed towards building an extensive portfolio of products and services to provide new and innovative technologies through business strategies. As an example, because Apple seeks to enhance its products and services through new technologies, a third-party supplier could provide new products and services that the company has previously not provided. If Apple provides these products and services to the third-party supplier, the third-party could make a profit or sell products or services that were previously sold in the existing supplier’s supply chain. While Apple’s strategy generally works through a mix of product and service segments, in the event of new or complementary products or services that are more cost effective and more widely useable for an operating service segment, there are certain factors that could influence Apple’s performance and pricing decisions. If the cost of a company’s new or complementary products and services is higher, its share price could decline, potentially leading to a reduction in its own market value, as well as other factors to consider in evaluating a company’s strategy. Such risks include, but are not limited to:
What Apple is doing right now is not good for the country. “We need a plan to turn around the situation and build bridges and make sure that we bring the technologies to a future that we can compete with, which is the ability for new products in the hands of a growing number of people and our growing need for new technologies,” said Jeff Leibovich, senior vice president and general counsel of Apple Ventures, speaking after a group of tech executives announced a $20 million round of funding to help Apple succeed.
Apple now has four new operating systems and its mobile operating system for iOS, and its newest operating system, iOS 4.2, has been out for a year with the hope that it can grow its users’ productivity. And some have argued that users have grown too quickly to use Apple’s new operating system, which now includes the iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, and iPhone 6/6s for the same reason Apple is increasing its sales.
However, because Apple is not launching new devices that are compatible with Apple’s new operating system, some have argued that the iOS operating system has not grown enough to meet those customers that need to be served on the iPhone. But if it is not growing enough to satisfy those people, they may still migrate.
Of course the iPhone will still require some additional investment in building an operating system that can accommodate all the devices in Apple’s portfolio, so far only the iPhone 6 Plus, 6 Plus SE and 8 is supported in the OS. But Apple is already planning to release three smartphones on Friday, which could mean that Apple could eventually unveil its first iPhone device in July, and Apple will have another iPhone that it will have to make up for with all the new features and software under way.
Apple is expected to announce the first production iPhone in December, but it is only going to be available to those who have already purchased the iPhone, and the company expects to announce a number of other Apple products that will be available across the holiday season. The company has released just the latest version of the iOS operating system, which is scheduled to release during the second quarter of 2015.
Apple has now had an operating system-wide launch since October. In the years of operating System 4, there had been a need to make improvements to performance and compatibility based on its own operating standards. However, they have been slow to adopt new technology, and as such should have been able to deliver on that effort more quickly.
Given some critical issues with iOS 4, especially as it introduces compatibility with Apple’s operating system rather than the iOS 4.0 version, some have suggested that Apple is attempting to add some new features to their phones to appeal to users, with features that could cause a long-term slowdown. And Apple has responded by making more recent versions of its operating system compatible with the iOS operating system, which means that the iPhone is now more compatible with iOS 4.2 than it was with iOS 4.0. This is going to make it easier for users or developers to add apps to the iPhone that meet the needs of growing consumers.
Apple’s decision to announce its plans to be the first iOS operating system after the iPhone 4 was announced seems like a strange and surprising move for Apple since it’s almost certain that the iPhone 4 will be announced in the second quarter of 2016. But it could also open the door to other emerging markets looking to grow their PC market.
The new system is more robust to the existing iPhone models as well as competing devices that are also available from AT&T, Verizon and others. With the iPhone 4, there are some new features and capabilities that have yet to come to the market. Here are some of them:
More accurate battery temperature data
New battery chemistry for iOS 4.2
Improved battery management
Improved audio input
A more robust battery management system
Lowering the screen brightness
A more advanced notification drawer
New display support
New display resolutions

Apple’s strategy has evolved over time. Initially, the focus of the company’s strategy was on the computer industry, especially when new products were introduced. However, Apple has recently shifted their focus to more of the digital gadget and computer markets. This notable shift has become a clear distinction in the company’s strategy. Moreover, the engrossment of Apple in the cellular device industry has changed the course of the company significantly and only further demonstrates an alternating strategy.
Apple’s key elements in their strategy for computers are style, lack of price competitiveness, and the limited number of business applications adopted for the Apple computers. Subsequently, the key elements in the company’s strategy for personal media players are late mover advantage, fashionable perception, and music store support. Apple’s key elements in their strategy for tablets and smartphones are first to market innovation, fashionable perception, and app store support.
Competitive Strength AssessmentApple’s competitive position in the individualized media player industry is significantly stronger than its position in the computer industry. Considering the information provided in Table 1, Apple maintained a market share of seventy-eight percent within the digital music player industry in 2011. At this time, none of Apple’s competitors matched this market share, nor did they even obtain a market share that was relatively close to that of Apple’s. Furthermore, Apple’s music store, iTunes, had a market share of sixty-five percent within the digital music market within the United States and had a twenty-three percent market share within total music sales throughout the country. Amazon, a major competitor, still had significantly less market share than Apple, which demonstrates the strength of Apple as a company and the minimal competition the company faced for these lines of business. Apple’s competitive position in the smartphone industry is also quite notable, as the iPhone was the second best selling smartphone throughout the 2012 calendar year. Additionally, the creation and circulation of the iPhone has drastically increased the demand for smartphones in general, as the number
