In the smartphone area, Which are the most Competitive companies? Of course the answer is Apple and Samsung which are stand for iOS and Android.
In the past year, Samsung has been the clear winner in the smartphone wars, with Apple playing second fiddle. And that lead may wider further in 2013.
How can Apple deal with this difficulty?
Strategy Analytics analyst Neil Mawston thinks there will be an iPhone Mini which will have lower financial arrangements comparable with the iPad and iPad mini to address the hundreds of millions of prepaid users worldwide that cannot afford the current iPhone.
Based on data sent to CNET, Mawston expects Samsung to carve out a 33
percent chunk of the smartphone market this year, up from a projected 31
percent in 2012. At the same time, Apple's share will inch up to 21
percent from 20 percent last year. Samsung could sell as many as 290
million smartphones this year, while Apple is likely to sell 180 million
iPhones. (resource from cnet).
And When will iPhone Mini come out? "We expect the 'iPhone Mini' to be more likely next year, in 2014, when
Apple's penetration of the global postpaid smart phone market will be
nearing saturation and Apple will be forced to discover fresh growth
streams elsewhere," Mawtson further added.
