Yet another Risk for Apple's Pride

Just days before Apple revealed their iPhone 5 their stocks had reached levels that were considered to be a record at more than $700. Thanks to record sales on the new device these stocks continued to rise higher. However this didn’t last and since the device has been out; those stocks have turned around and fallen sharply. Now the Examiner reports that Apple had lost around $130 billion, and their prices are nowhere near what analysts predicted for the quarter. The blog goes on to ask whether Apple had underestimated the competition.

Did Apple underestimate the Samsung Galaxy S3 and now S4?

The iPhone 5 was thought to be something special before its release. It should have been innovative and extraordinary, yet once again Apple failed to deliver that magic we’ve been waiting for. So the big question is, has Apple reached their limits of what we should expect from the iPhone, or has faster-paced competition like the Samsung Galaxy S3 made it too difficult for Apple to remain innovative?

The share prices have suffered the same highs and lows that fans did waiting for the release of the iPhone 5. Shares were just over $700 and now they are just over $500, which means a decrease of around 20%.

The Examiner however does add that you do have to bear in mind that the decrease could be only temporary; however this doesn’t answer the question of whether or not Apple will ever be innovative again. Apple could have misjudged Samsung and other competitors too lightly and if the stocks of Apple continue to fall, this could be troubling.

There are numerous factors which come together to suggest that Apple could be giving up their leadership, however they shouldn’t be counted out. Despite all of the problems it has been faced with, the iPhone 5 is selling quite well, as has the iPad Mini, since it was released. 2012 could have been the largest year for Apple with record profits and they will have to do something special in 2013 if they want to beat it.

Samsung of course isn’t sitting back and watching the iPhone 5 bask in its new found glory. Reports pointed out that the Samsung Galaxy S3 enjoyed 4 of its best 5 sales weeks right after the iPhone 5 was announced. It was also earlier this month that the Samsung Galaxy S3 was crowned best selling smartphone of 2012, snatching the title from the iPhone 4S. And now with the Samsung Galaxy S4 making waves and no sign of an iPhone 5s, Samsung shows no signs of slowing down.
