Above all Apple customers are opting for the iPhone 5, who have already used an Apple smartphone. But the loyalty of iPhone owners is reduced in comparison to previous years.

This could determine the market researcher Strategy Analytics. According to the study on the subject opt representing 75 percent of all owners of an iPhone for the purchase of a new smartphone from Apple. The previous year, Strategy Analytics reported nor a value of 88 percent. Until the launch of the iPhone 4S is always increased customer loyalty. But now she fell for the first time since Apple's popular smartphone series on the market offers.

Customer loyalty is still incredibly high

Although Apple has according to the results of the study suggest some feathers. However, the values ​​of the study, the market researchers are still very high when compared with those of competitors. Strategy Analytics also reports that, despite everything, many consumers remain the operating system iOS. This depends, however, often together with the purchased apps for the iPhone, and iPad. which one would have to purchase a new system change.

Despite problems with the iPhone 5, many customers choose to purchase

Apple was able to announce the launch of the latest smartphones not only positive headlines. Above all, the quality problems and the misstatements of the new maps app the IT group from Cupertino given the news regarding the iPhone 5. Nevertheless, this discourages the customer from not.

Apple Prepare Cheap iPhone Offers Against Android

Emerging issues that Apple is preparing a cheaper and contract free iPhone to combat Android-based mobile prepaid. As quoted from the Boy Genius Report, Apple said to be preparing to launch a prepaid iPhone 3GS sold in the $ 350 price range. If $ 1 valued approximately Rp. 8500 the iPhone has become the cheapest iPhone at a price of approximately Rp. 2.975 million. We can Say that the price is Cheap isn't it? Compare this with iPhone bundled with local operators termurahnya prices that reached 6 million. Of course if this is true then certainly welcome consumers will be enormous. Consumers no longer need to be bound to a contract to get a cheap iPhone. Previous Apple also been doing the same thing that is selling a cheaper version of the iPhone last model. With the cheapening of the price of the iPhone 3GS Apple trying to segment their customers: the top level with the latest version of the iPhone, the iPhone 4 mid-level and lower level with his iPhone 3GS.

Apple's strategy with the iPhone Offers
Apple already showed how aggressive they were with the price of the iPhone 3GS: iPhone 3GS in January 2011 bundled with a two-year contract with AT & T only sells for $ 49. By selling the iPhone 3GS without a contract at $ 350 then Apple will provide access to the prepaid market is currently dominated by Android with Samsung Intercept work with Virgin Mobile ($ 250) and LG Thrive with AT & T ($ 179). Prepaid cell phone without a contract market is being stretched because of the many advantages perceived by consumers. First, in the absence of a contract with the operator then consumers will be able to freely determine the operator wants. Suppose today we use the operator A later realized that the service was not good because the signal is often lost it right then we can replace the operator B. Second, after-sales service for mobile phones without contracts easier than selling the phone is still under contract with the operator.

Certainty of Cheap iPhone Issues

As usual the issue is still a cheaper iPhone speculation that might not be true. However, this issue has also been reported by the New York Times, Bloomberg and the Wall Street Journal in February. If these three famous newspaper dared to ask this issue to be one of the main topics of this issue then it is likely to be a huge reality. But the issue is not necessarily a concern of cellular operators because they are more than happy to tie us to a contract in the future. And if you take it then I guess you'd prefer to pay a little up front to get the better stuff. With so cheap iPhone issue is likely only be a distraction to you while waiting for the new output of the Apple iPhone.
