Amidst the turbulent waves the iCloud fiasco created, analysts and forecasters still think that Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) could thrive with the emergence of its new products – the latest iPhone and the anxiously anticipated iWatch. In the past few days Apple has had a tough time, being criticized for having feeble measures against hacking and intervention. Their shares also dropped, a drop which took a toll on their stock that resulted in their biggest drop since January.
Apple has been in the news all year – being in the limelight for its much awaited smart phone: The iPhone 6. But the market and customers are also intrigued by the iWatch. iWatch’s intrigue comes after other electronic companies like Samsung came out with their own portable electronic watches but failed to make an impact.
Business gurus believe that the iWatch will transcend other fundamental Apple gadgets and that it will set a benchmark in the market. The new releases are expected to conquer the market and make Apple the undisputed King of electronics. Apple hasn’t had a release since 2012 and has been rather mellow in the past few years as compared to Samsung which comes out with new releases almost every 2 months.
Analysts believe that Apple Inc. faces the biggest competition from itself – as the company has set expectations around so high that the public expects a release every year or every six months, which is quite frankly immature. But just because Apple has been silent in terms of releases doesn’t mean people should bet against the company as it is well known for rising like a miraculous phoenix to set the sky ablaze.
Samsung also has geared up to unleash its phable t- which is a juggernaut of a phone. But Samsung despite their constant releases is suffering from mellow stocks and a dip in the stock market.
Both the companies are set to face off against each other with their latest gadgets but Apple has a certain edge based on its reputation. Also, the iWatch brings a certain element of intrigue because customers are always excited about the “Apple Twist” on every gadget that sets off a chain reaction in the market.
Samsung is riding on its success of the previous phablet- Note 3- still its stocks are morose and they too are expecting a boost in the market as the mammoth gadget has a 5.7 inch screen and specifications that will stand up to any computer.
Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) had a rough week, with demons of the hacking controversy on their shoulders. But they’re expected to shake that off once their products are unveiled on 9th of this month. iWatch is set to share the stage with iPhone. iWatch currently has been kept secret, probably as an ace of spades for the company. As the unveiling date draw closer, investors and customers continue to turn their attention towards Apple. One might argue, if the iCloud incident really did Apple any damage, because one thing it sure did is that it transferred the attention of the people towards the company just before their latest releases- which is I bet, all Apple wanted.
