iPhone Holds Resale Value Best

Diposting oleh fawaid on Senin, 13 Februari 2012

Apple products always hold their resale value longer than their competition. Macs have been the biggest example of this. Sure, the price of a Mac may be a bit higher than competitive hardware, but they always have better features, and the resale value for an Apple computer is always much higher than the competition.

Turns out the same is true of the iPhone. Better quality, looks, longevity, and features will do that. Android phones are often out of date within a few days of release, let alone a few months down the road. Because of Android fragmentation, you can expect not to see many updates on even a newer Android phone. This lowers resale value considerably. Add into the fact that Android phones don't look as good as the iPhone, making them less desirable in general, and the fact that fact that Android phones are far more generic, you can bet that Android phones are going to be valued far less than iPhones 18 months after the purchase.

Android Market Share Dropping

Diposting oleh fawaid on Selasa, 21 Juni 2011

After March, Android's market share has been steadily decreasing. Meanwhile, iPhone market share has been increasing, attracting users from Android and Blackberry. Needham, the organization that did the study, believes that Android use will only continue to decrease. The release of the Verizon iPhone removed one of the reasons many users got an Android phone: the iPhone wasn't available. The iPhone 5 could make things a lot worse, offering a low price for customers upgrading, and possible availability on Sprint and Tmobile. The iPhone 5 is going to be popular. If it's available on all major US carriers, it could take a large chunk out of Google's market share.

Google is going to have to be on their toes if they want to remain competitive. Don't believe the market can change so quickly? Just ask RIM about their Blackberry smartphones.
