Apple’s Ecosystem Still Gaining Momentum
Recently I was asked by an analyst, “How sustainable is Apple’s iPhone growth really? If another device comes out with similar functionality at a much lower price, and on a better network, couldn’t there be a market share erosion?”
A very good question. As a mobile development company, we intuitively feel Apple’s lead is increasing, not under threat. Is that complacency? At first glance, devices such as HTC’s EVO or Motorola’s new DroidX should certainly be capable of standing toe-to-toe with the iPhone.
There are many reasons consumers might pick one smartphone over another, but evidence is mounting that they use and love their apps. If this is true, then Apple’s position is becoming stronger every day.
