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.

Apple products are of the highest quality, that's why.

It basically comes down to the fact that people like an excuse to brag. People like to have the newest, the best, the most exciting, whether it actually is so much more exciting or not. The people who now have the new iPhone 5 will rub in people's faces that the 4s is obsolete now. As for it not being the best out there, that's true in some regards. In some categories, the Apple products are the best, but what it comes down to again is that Apple products look and sound exciting. I agree that a lot of their products are exactly the same other ones, or only have small changes, but that's probably just a business ploy. If Apple went straight from the original iPhone to the iPhone 5, that might be considered revolutionary. But they would have made less money. People like upgrades, and if they're getting the new iPhone five times, Apple makes more money than if they're only swapping once.

  • 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.
  • Will the iphone 8 be revolutionary? Do you think iphone 8 will be a revolution and greatly decrease the sales of samsung, google, etc? Because I saw the leaked image of the phone and its telling me that it will make a change. I saw you tube videos about the prototypes. And I saw leaked specs. Remember the iphone 5s. It caused a shift in the smartphone market. It had finger print senor, etc that no other phones had.
  • 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.
