Industry Analyst Jeff Kagan on Apple iPhone Announcement: What Else Can We Expect?
Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) September 09, 2013 -- Apple will likely introduce at least two new iPhones and a new operating system according to Wireless Week, Sept. 9.
Tech analyst Jeff Kagan offers comment.
Tomorrow Apple is expected to announce at least two new iPhone’s called 5S and 5C, plus one new operating system called iOS 7, and new colors.
“What else can we expect from Apple at this announcement? It would be so unusual to know what Apple will introduce beforehand. The industry has changed. Apple's position in the industry has changed. Apple has changed. But do we really expect the way they make new announcements to change? I don’t think so,” says Principal analyst Jeff Kagan.
“Since we already know about the two iPhones and one new operating system, can we expect more? I sure hope so. The lower cost iPhone is a good addition to the iPhone family. However it is not enough. There has to be more,” says Wireless analyst Jeff Kagan.
“I would expect a surprise announcement like a different size iPhone with a larger screen. We have seen this with Samsung Galaxy on multiple size screens. Some customers like small screens and footprints and others like larger ones. To date Apple only offers the smaller screen. That is good for many customers, but many others would like the choice if a larger screen. A larger screen would help Apple protect their customer base from leaving. Will Apple introduce this new size screen?” asks Kagan.
“Remember the Apple announcement has two audiences, customers and investors. They often respond differently to different messages. So we’ll see if Apple can win with both. With all that said, I expect tomorrow's announcement to be all around the iPhone. I don’t expect to see other products like iPads. Apple does not like to take the attention away from one device to shine it on another. Instead expect a separate announcement for different product sets. Tomorrow is all about the iPhone and new iOS 7 operating system,” says Kagan.
