Do you think Apple would be as successful if it wasn't for the Iphone?

I'm sorry but I can't see Apple having much popularity if the iPhone wasn't as popular and mainstream. The Mac would not sell as much as a PC laptop, I could almost guarantee that. Apple watch wouldn't even exist without the rise of the iPhone, it's only an extension of it. I'm not ranting I'm just, I just couldn't see apple being as big as it is now without the iPhone. I have 3 Iphones and a Mac. I love the IPhone over an Android any day but I think I prefer a pc over a mac even owning a mac myself

And you care? Why?

Keep in mind Windows, like Android, is licensed to many manufacturers & they make low, mid & high Windows computers vs Apple which just makes its high end models. Despite that though in recent years people have been buying less Windows computers & more Macs. Of course not enough to overtake the number of Windows computers but still something to note.

As far as the Apple Watch, its arguable, but it could also be said for any smartwatch, but as it is slowly becoming independent of the phone it could eventually be.

But yea, Apple wouldn't be as successful without the iPhone but the iMac, which helped its come back wasn't doing bad on its own & then there was the iPod line which further helped.

  • You think I could buy a iPhone 5 if i work what you guys think? You guys think that if i work at McDonald or any store i can afford to buy the iPhone 5? And pay every month
  • Would a Milk bar be a successful marketing idea/ project? As a final project in my marketing course, we're suppose to create an original good/service and work with it and plan a presentation filled with reasons why it would work, targets, forecasts etc etc. Another idea is a student utility app, where it can be downloaded into an iphone/ etc and as it says it is a utlility with updates, notes and most things a student would need to survive H.S.
  • Why is apple so successful even when their product is not that revolutionary? Whenever apple comes with a product, a whole bunch of people try to preorder it. I have no problem with apple what so ever. How do they manage to get people to buy their things even when they are not the best out there? I mean the iphone 5 is like a book with a different cover. The newest ipad is the same thing. Do you think apple needs to make any changes to the hardware? To me, they have to change their operating system. People are tired of just swiping.
  • Why are Persians so successful? Okay so I live in the United States and in California. Their are a lot of Persian people at my school and they're not poor. They look upper-middle class to wealthy. They wear really good quality expensive clothes, Iphones, dive nice cars like Mustangs and BMW's. I realize that it's not the people at my school it's their parents. Like they have so much success where they drop a ton of money on their kids.
