Hype over iPhone 6 and iPhone 6+ by Yasmine Bougacha (5th period)


In this relatively short article just released this morning, David Goldman reports how Apple has surpassed a milestone in technological history by selling 4 million iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus smartphones in only the first day they were available. Not only is Apple very surprised, but other businesses as well are stunned by the amount of loyal customers and their willingness to buy Apple's products without knowing all the details and features of the phone. In fact, Goldman even noted how there are already dedicated fans of Apple camping outside their stores so they can be the first ones to purchase this trending phone.
     It honestly surprised me how many people seem to be fixated on this phone. If this does not exemplify the desire among our people to "be cool" and "go with the trend" then I don't know what does. Of course this does not apply to everyone, but the results of this business victory can also be looked upon as a social experiment. I'm sure that psychologists somewhere are going to make a big study out of this one.

  2. Apple will always have loyal customers because they remain the most popular, it's pretty shocking they've been able to hold the publics eye for so long.

  3. i find new phones pretty amazing but this Iphone 6 does not really have any major changes from the Iphone 5s other than the fact that the screen of the Iphone 6 is the size of the Iphone 5s
