Apple

FYSM-  Apple presentation

            The Apple company has changed the technology industry in a matter of years; something I personally thought could not be done. Apple has guided the development of technology in many different fields. This growing company seems to have its hands in everything, from medical tools, business tools, to the simplest luxury of listening to music on an Ipod. 

            In the last business quarter, Apple sold around 20 million Iphones. That was only one business quarter and only one product. When I think of the Apple company, I think of Ipods, computers, and Iphones. This company has developed their products to the point where they have the time to focus solely on how to make their product environmentally friendly. The uni-body design of their laptop cuts down on the over use of materials.  If you look at a PC laptop and compare it an Apple, you will realize that PC laptops have many different panels and pieces; an Apple laptop has one main sheet of aluminum on the top and bottom, making it more eco-friendly.

Apple has developed their products so thoroughly that they have moved on to other fields that need technological improvement.  For example, they now create products such as blood pressure monitors. This allows a patient with a health problem to monitor their blood pressure at any point in the day and anywhere they want something that was near impossible before Apple’s product. All they need to do is plug the product into their Iphone, making a very inconvenient task very accessible.  

Yes, Apple has started to show how technology can be used in very serious and important situations, but this company will not give up on their entertainment and luxury items, such as the recently released Irig.  This product allows you to hook up your guitar to your Iphone. With it, you can record and in ways edit your music. If you ask any musician they will tell you that without this product it is very complicated to complete such tasks.

This growing company continues to show their clients that they are always one step ahead of the game.  Apple, throughout the years has shaped and molded the standards of the technology industry. As the years go on I can positively say that this company will continue to expand to other different fields.

  1. I think this is a great Essay with very good examples. I think you could include how they are and internationally recognized company (62% of sales are outside US etc.)And maybe some aspects of their customer service.
