8. why has this been the case?
Every consumer has features that they need and features that they want
Features that people need are largely similar among consumers
Features that people want vary significantly from user to user
For companies like Apple, catering towards fragmented wants is highly unprofitable
What does this mean for you?
You will never see all the features you want on your smartphone

13. consumer desire intersects with the modzCase
• In a survey of over 100 smartphone
users1, 68% and 77% indicated an
interest in call recording and laser
pointer hardware respectively
• For large OEMs such as Apple, however,
70% market interest may not be enough
to merit implementation in the next
hardware release
• Even a smaller penetration rate – 42%
among surveyed regarding wireless mice
– represents over 25mm users2
• As a result, these users will never have
their desires fully satisfied
• Modzify fills in the gap that Apple leaves
behind, allowing users to fully
customize smartphone functionality and
satisfy all their wants
