why apple products are so much expensive ?
Apple is too much expensive due to which most of the people adore the release events without even considering anything for themselves.
But about everyone amazed that is why Apple products are so expensive when matched with other brands?
About apple's customer is said that who once used its products will always go with Apple products.
But this quote is not about the youngsters who uses apple just for that brand value without knowing is real uses importance and the real use and work of its products.
The real value of apple is observed from the professional and business people in the official industry. Why do most of these professionals own the complete environment of Apple?
Now the main point comes that is Why does this organization needs to increase its prices too much?
Do you have many doubts?
Even if Apple collects a massive amount of profit, but there are some factors that almost everyone neglects.
Why Apple Products Are soo costlier?
The Factors
1] It's Software
If an iPhone compared with any of Android Phone then the most ground difference arrives in software. Android Phones runs on Android and iPhones runs on iOS software .
Android gets free and already made Android OS available on Google. Meanwhile, Apple has to develop the Operating System on its own right from ground level. This is really very expensive if we matches it to any of other Android company.
Now you can think that why Google is giving Android for free and Apple charges heavily? This is not the reality.
Android appears free for its users and even it's developers to install on its based phones. However, developers needs to buy a license from Google to make you available the Google Play Store.
Android smartphone developers add that cost in the market value of the devices. If they don’t do that then people don’t really like to purchase Android phones without having Google services.
Just like what happened with company Huawei-Honor when Google restricted providing its services to them.
According to the Android official reports, Huawei is good going to lose 20 Percent of its market shares due to recent US-China trade war. This is a massive blow to Huawei even after holding the majority of the market share of China.
Android companies are just common and of very less use without Google license. Since Google is working on reduction on Costs by large businesses, it is less expensive to manage it.
Also, Android is a open-source. Google did not need to manage Android entirely.
On the other hand in Apple's case, it is managing all the things on its own. Hence, they directly charge from its consumers.
2] Luxury Lifestyle Brand
Apple has managed to fortunately create its image as higher lifestyle and luxury brand.
Apple holds a strong position in the market.
Even Microsoft has its unique position. Bill Gates once said that a computer on every desk, and in every home, running Microsoft software.
Microsoft has its own selected audience and related strategies to them.
Similarly, Apple has heads to show itself as a luxurious brand or organization.
Now a days if we saw someone using an iPhone or a Macbook or any other apple product that person is automatically assumed to have a premium lifestyle.
Apple even released its iPhone SE and that costs more than Rs 40,000! and that is considered to be a budget phone by the company.
In Reality this cannot be considered as a budget phone by any average earning person
It's like they launched their cheapest product but not for selling it to everyone.
Apple has never wants to be in mid-range or budget lines. It has always remained at the peak of premium brands.
This is why almost every movie star, celebrity, businessman, etc automatically promotes the brand.
In fact, Apple is so preoccupied with its image and position in society so it does not allows villains in the movies to use an iPhone.
3] Recognizable Apple Stores
Apple stores are the charm of Apple. If you are a tech lover than its recommended to once visit an apple store. You will automatically falls in love with the brand.
Now apple Store is not there in India but they are thinking to bring it till 2021.
Dated on 23rd September 2020, they have already launched the Online Apple store in India.
According to report of Gadgets 360 apple will going to launch its store in India this year. The focused point is that Apple largely invests on its stores. These Apple stores are situated in the most of the luxurious places in the richest cities.
All the luxury brand invests huge in the marketing and branding. How will the customers experience the luxury if the brand itself is not concerned about its face value?
Recently, Apple opens its floating Store in Singapore.
4] Highly optimized Components and clear Finishing of Products.
Apple invested huge amount of time, money and patience to reach at this level of perfection.
We can goblin Apple for its price or features but nobody can simply challenge Apple for its quality of components and finishing of its products.
Technological industry has a solid prejudice that Apple never settle down with its components and finishing. No matter what, the components are but they will always remain reliable.
Apple launches most of the features too late but when it does, then they are perfectly optimized without any of performance errors.
Not only restricted to high quality components, but Apple also fully guarantees most of its products. If you use an Apple product then you might know that they don’t invest in repairing. They simply replace it for free.
If they start charging their customers for repairing then it should degrade its brand value and they could lose their customers.
But that’s one in thousand cases. Mostly it's heard that Apple users have been using their iPhones for 3-5 years and Macs for about last 10 years. It simply indicates the quality.
5] Research and Development department of apple
Not all the organization heavily involved in Research and Development area. Apple comes under the Big-five-Brands for this reason.
Apple always works in research and development area. This organization never believes in copy any other brand, it's features are always new and attractive.Even if they even tried to copy ever, they never do that because it's out of their own ecosystem affinity.
One of the examples is its designed Safari browser. Few years back apple was working on its Windows version. According to the report of TechCrunch, they had to collapse the whole development in year 2012.
But the reasons are not defined, it’s sure that if Apple was any normal company working on Windows, they would never face this challenge. But the different platform optimization is hard.
Almost all of the organizations work and finalize a project only when they saw the scope of its expansion. Otherwise they stop it's process.
6] Apple's Environment
Apple has a huge chain of its environment. The products are seamlessly united with each other.
An iPhone user will be eligible to read the exact same article on internet by simply shifting from a tablet browser.
Also, the Apple Watch is connected to your iPhone then you can continue to take calls and notifications from your Watch.
If Wearing Airpods? No problem at all. Connect it to the Apple Watch and perform all the functions of pods easily.
Not only hardware but it's apps and software are equally compatible. Anyone who needs high performance will get it right in the Apple environment. That is the reason why computer professionals prioritize an Apple product.
Seriously, all the things are connected to each other like – iPhone, Mac, Apple Watch, iPad, iTunes (Music), etc. Hence, the data is flowing in a synchronize way with each other and one can really feels the magic of a smooth compatibility.
This is not present in Android +Windows because two separate companies own it.
The people who officially required an Apple product for their business or usage are the real ones who are really into the Apple environment due to its seamless compatibility.
Otherwise, you must know any iPhone user friend who just has an iPhone without the Apple environment and using it just for its social values.
7] Other Cost factors
Whenever we owns any smartphone or an electronic appliance, the cost is not only contains the cost of the components that are provided in it.
But also, there are various hidden cost factors present there.
A] It's Marketing
Apple keeps on marketing its recent launched products massively. This covers all the money used for print media, news media, digital media, social media, etc. Apple publishes it's advertisements almost every place where possible.
The social media influencers takes a huge amount for doing influence-marketing.
B] Labor Cost
We can’t simply purchase components because its hardware takes it to design from beginning. For this reason, the company needs a good number of labors and requires to pay them wages as well.
C] Custom Duty imposed
Every product that is created outside from India has to pay huge duty charges. These taxes are different with various rules for every country. That is the reason why an iPhone is that much less expensive in Dubai or other countries.
E] Required Profits
This is the most important reason. Apple knows for sure that even if they keep their products prices higher, people will still keep purchasing Apple products..
Apple is itself such a idiosyncratic product developer that it will still be bringing its core user base. This makes it bold to consume a maximum of the profits.
So, now if you ever wonder that why Apple products are so much expensive, you know the correct answer now.
