kesav 127 Report post Posted February 4, 2011 Verizon stops taking iPhone pre-orders after setting unspecified 'record' Verizon stopped taking pre-orders for its version of the iPhone 4 at 8:10 last night--and it clocked so many that it hasn't finished counting them. That's one way to read this morning's press release, in which the carrier uses a variety of phrases--"record sales," "the most successful first day sales in the history of the company," "unprecedented customer orders"--without actually giving a number of iPhones sold. There is a bit of a precedent for this. Amazon has yet to say how many Kindles it's sold in the more than three years since its first e-book reader debuted; its latest press release on the subject did not feature a number more specific than "millions." By way of context, when the iPhone 4 debuted last June, Apple said the company and all the carriers selling that device worldwide took in 600,000 orders on the first day. Verizon's most successful phone launch before the iPhone was probably the Motorola Droid; one research firm estimated that Verizon sold 250,000 units of that Android-based smartphone in its first week. So maybe we're looking at 500,000 pre-orders, to cite one recent prediction? Whatever the figure, it will certainly increase once Verizon and Apple start selling the Verizon flavor of the iPhone to new customers on Feb. 10. (In other words: No, the Verizon iPhone hasn't sold out.) I'd like to think that after three years of Apple selling smartphones, people have learned from experience and won't queue up before dawn to buy the latest model on its first day on sale--but I'm afraid that's exactly what we'll see next Thursday. (Online sales start at 3:01 a.m. on Feb. 9, if you simply can't wait.) Equally predictable: We will be hearing from upset Verizon customers who can't buy this thing at the new-or-renewing price of $199.99 for its 16-gigabyte version and $299.99 for the 32 GB model. Verizon can blame itself for some confusion here--it just changed its policy but hasn't documented this anywhere I could find on its site, leaving news reports as the best reference. But in any case: You'll need to be 20 months into an existing contract to get that most-favored-customer price. Otherwise, you'd pay $649.99 for a 16 GB iPhone or $749.99 for its 32 GB edition. That's about average for the big wireless carriers. AT&T lets customers on its most expensive plans trade up at the new-customer price 13 months in; most smartphone users will have to wait until 18 months have gone by, while users on its cheapest voice-data bundles don't get that discount until 21 months. Sprint makes subscribers wait until they're 22 months into a two-year deal to get a full discount, although smaller price breaks become available 12 months in. T-Mobile mirrors Sprint's policy. You don't have to like those rules, but you also can't do much about them. On the other hand, it won't kill you to stick with an older device for another few months. Because even the Verizon iPhone is still just a phone.

Karthik R 246 Report post Posted February 5, 2011 Apple has signed a non-exclusive agreement with Verizon (unlike the five-year exclusive tie-up they had with AT&T for the GSM models), so it will be floating in CDMA markets elsewhere. They surely will have launch plans for India, which boasts of a 100 million CDMA base. Same the case with China Telecom. Also expect it to feature in the high end segment with a Rs.35000 price tag.

kesav 127 Report post Posted February 6, 2011 Over Half of Verizon BlackBerry and Android Users to Switch to Apple iPhone 4 A recent survey of made by United Sample indicated that 54 percent of Android or Blackberry smartphone users are either ‘somewhat likely’ or ‘very likely’ to swap their current units to the Apple iPhone 4 once it is introduced by Verizon on February 10. On the other hand around 33 percent of the respondents in the survey signified that it was "somewhat unlikely" or "very unlikely" for them to get the Apple iPhone 4. The survey results show that more Blackberry owners of Verizon would be somewhat likely or very likely acquire the Apple iPhone 4 compared to the Android users of Verizon when the Apple iPhone 4 is unveiled on February 10. And among all Verizon subscribers, 24 percent who plan to get the Apple iPhone 4 are willing to line up for the latest offering by Verizon. The dissimilarity in the interface between the Apple iPhone 4 and the Blackberry or Android smartphone was the main reason why 60 percent were going to switch devices. While 51 percent indicated that the media or the capability of transmitting or playing media was the reason for choosing to get the Apple iPhone 4. Another 58 percent favored the web browser of the Apple iPhone 4 over their present units, either the Android or the Blackberry. The price of the Apple iPhone 4 was the main reason for 46 percent who would continue to use their present units. But among AT&T subscribers, only 26 percent were either somewhat likely or very likely in purchasing the Apple iPhone 4 with 48 percent citing dropped calls as the main reason for switching. But 45 percent indicated that the expenses linked to purchasing the Apple iPhone 4 was the main obstacle in switching to Verizon. source :: http://www.planetinsane.com/over-half-of-verizon-blackberry-and-android-users-to-switch-to-apple-iphone-4/267849/ If not for price, I feel the entire BB & Android market would have been wiped out by Iphone.

kesav 127 Report post Posted February 7, 2011 Verizon iPhone Teardown Is More Evidence That Future iPhones Will Be Dual-Mode GSM-CDMA The Verizon iPhone 4 has been showing up on doorsteps, and some of the teardown firms are already ripping them apart. One interesting finding, via 9to5Mac and iFixyouri: The Verizon iPhone has a Qualcomm "Gobi" chip in it, which is dual-mode GSM/CDMA compatible. Apple is not taking advantage of this feature -- it's only using the CDMA part of the chip right now. (It would need a SIM card slot for the GSM feature.) But it's more evidence that the iPhone 5 will be dual-mode GSM/CDMA. This could mean better worldwide roaming for Verizon iPhone 5 customers. And it could mean a simpler supply chain for Apple than having totally separate CDMA and GSM iPhone lines. It probably does NOT mean that it would be easier to switch between AT&T and Verizon with the same phone, though. Future iPhones are still likely to be "locked" to a carrier, based on who sells and subsidizes the phone. source :: http://www.businessinsider.com/verizon-iphone-teardown-is-more-evidence-that-future-iphones-will-be-dual-mode-gsm-cdma-2011-2 This news is just awesome.

kesav 127 Report post Posted February 10, 2011 Apple could become biggest firm in world by next year, analysts claim Sales of its products, including the latest generation of iPads, iPods, iPhones and Mac laptops and computers, are expected to propel it even beyond the value of the current top company, Exxon, which is now worth £263 billion. Strong sales, particularly in the US, have led experts to predict a 32% rise in Apple's share price over the next year, which would take its value to £269.5 billion. Providing the shares of Exxon, an oil firm, do not rise beyond that, Apple's foretold success would make it the biggest in the world for the first time. A technology firm at the top of the corporate tree would be a change from the norm. The list of the world's most valuable firms is traditionally dominated by those in the mining, banking or retail sectors. However, in the last three months of 2010, Apple sold almost 4m Mac computers, over 14m iPhones, over 9m iPods and over 4m of the early incarnations of the iPad tablet computer. Pete Najarian, of Trademonster.com, a stock market website, said: "Analysts are as giddy as you can be but Apple just keeps surpassing those numbers." source :: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/news/8315152/Apple-could-become-biggest-firm-in-world-by-next-year-analysts-claim.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rajanmehta 4,056 Report post Posted February 11, 2011 (edited) Apple Is Said to Work on Cheaper, Smaller IPhones Bloomberg. By Peter Burrows and Gregory Bensinger - Feb 11, 2011 8:34 PM GMT+0530 Apple Inc. is working on new versions of the iPhone that are aimed at slowing the advance of competing handsets based on Google Inc.'s Android software, according to people who have been briefed on the plans. One version would be cheaper and smaller than the most recent iPhone, said a person who has seen a prototype and asked not to be identified because the plans haven't been made public. Apple also is developing technology that makes it easier to use the iPhone on multiple wireless networks, two people said. Chief Executive Officer Steve Jobs, who remains involved in strategic decisions while on medical leave, would use lower prices to widen the iPhone's appeal and keep it from losing further ground to Android devices. Less expensive iPhones may also ratchet up pressure on Nokia Oyj, whose handsets are especially popular in Europe and some developing markets. "Instead of targeting 25 percent of the global mobile- phone market, Apple would be going after 100 percent," said Charlie Wolf, an analyst at Needham & Co. in New York, who has a "buy" rating on Apple shares. Google's share of the global smartphone market more than tripled to 32.9 percent in the fourth quarter, eclipsing Apple's 16 percent, according to Canalys. Apple will face another challenge as Nokia and Microsoft Corp. join forces in smartphone development, a partnership announced today. Natalie Kerris, a spokeswoman for Cupertino, California- based Apple, declined to comment. Apple added $1.30 to $355.84 at 9:59 a.m. New York time in Nasdaq Stock Market trading. The stock had climbed 9.9 percent this year before today. Smaller, Cheaper Apple has considered selling the new iPhone for about $200, without obligating users to sign a two-year service contract, said the person who has seen it. Android phones sell for a range of prices at AT&T Inc., Verizon Wireless and other carriers, and typically come with agreements that include a fee for broken contracts. The iPhone 4, sold in the U.S. by AT&T and Verizon Wireless, costs $200 to $300 when subsidized by a contract. While Apple has aimed to unveil the device near mid-year, the introduction may be delayed or scrapped, the person said. Few Apple employees know the details of the project, the person said. Apple often works on products that don't get released. The prototype was about one-third smaller than the iPhone 4, and it had no "home" button, said the person, who saw it last year. Apple would sell it at a low price mainly because the smartphone will use a processor, display and other components similar to those used in the current model, rather than pricier, more advanced parts that will be in the next iPhone, the person said. Component prices typically drop over time. Dual-Mode Phone Apple is also working on a so-called dual-mode phone, two people said. This device would be able to work with the world's two main wireless standards -- the global system for mobile communications, used by AT&T and overseas carriers such as Vodafone Group Plc, and code division multiple access, used by Verizon Wireless. It couldn't be determined whether Apple intended to include this capability in the cheaper iPhone. Apple is working on a technology called a universal SIM, which would let iPhone users pick from a variety of GSM networks without having to switch the so-called SIM cards that associate a phone with a network, according to one person. Having universal SIM capability built-in would help cut the cost of distributing and managing millions of SIM cards. The new features could also give Apple an advantage over mobile carriers in influencing customers. The device would be affordable without a carrier subsidy, so buyers wouldn't need to agree to terms, such as termination fees, that carriers demand in exchange for lowering the cost of the phone. Global Appeal A cheaper iPhone would help Apple make deeper inroads in markets such as China and India, where many shoppers opt for lower-priced devices that don't carry long-term contracts, Wolf said. Apple has also worked on redesigned iPhone software that would let customers choose a network and configure their device on their own, without relying on a store clerk or representative of a carrier, according to the person. Apple has gone down-market before. In 2004, when sales of the original $299-plus iPod were still rising, the company introduced the $249 iPod Mini. In 2005, when the iPod Mini was still a bestseller, Jobs discontinued it in favor of the cheaper iPod Nano. Apple began selling the last version of the iPhone, the 3GS, for just $49 in January -- though it required a two- year contract. Price cuts and the absence of a carrier subsidy may put Apple's margins under pressure. Still, Apple is able to get big discounts from suppliers because of the large volume of iPhone sales and by signing long- term contracts. The company said in January that it has executed long-term agreements totaling $3.9 billion in recent months. Google's Android operating system also may suffer if Apple makes the iPhone more versatile and affordable. The Google- backed operating system benefited when Apple wasn't available from Verizon Wireless. Verizon Wireless began selling the iPhone yesterday.
