.APPLE IPOD
• Everything about the iPod is changing. Everything
includes the price, the size of the actual iPod to the
number of songs it actually holds, the colors it
becomes available in, the target market, its
competitors and more.
• The iPod became a quick success. Overtime in the
growth stage, Apple has seen quite an S-curve with
the sales of the iPod. The market is still continuing
to expand, however overtime it is at a slower rate.

REPOSITIONING
• From the original iPod came iPod minis,
REPOSITIONING
iPod shuffles, iPod nanos, and eventually
the iTouch. Accessories such as the
iLounge and the iHome are other products
complimenting the original iPod. Each one
of the extensions is now perceived with the
same quality and image as the original
iPod. They have created more awareness
and assurance for the Apple brand and the
signature “i”.
14. REPOSITIONING
. Apple as a company is striving to
become an economic friendly
company and is implementing
tradition and change in our society
which is their environment-oriented
value.
Apple changed the packing of the
fourth-generation iPod Nano to a
much lighter package that uses less
than half of the volume than previous
packaging. A positive step was also
taken when recycling programs
began in Asia, Europe and Australia.

16. COST REDUCTION
• According to analysis conducted by iSuppli Corp
in 2008.
• iPhone 3G sports an evolutionary design that
favours cost reduction instead of cutting-edge
features.
• Supporting Apple Inc.’s goal of expanding its
market share and achieving a worldwide.
• At $174.33 cost of the new iPhone was less than
the $227 that iSuppli estimated for the first-
generation
17. When coming into the market
iPods were on the expensive
side due to the fact that it was a
new technology and product
that was unfamiliar to the
world. It was the first in its
product line. Realizing the
sales opportunities being
missed out on in the middle and
lower classes, the iPod
products and prices changed to
accommodate to meet the
social structure differences.
The middle class makes up
70% of the social structure and
iPod touch includes the working class
which brings in a large amount
of income and purchasing
power
18. Co-Branding
Teaming up with the ever
famous Nike brand, the
Nike+ was created. This
product is a running shoe
which uses the iPod and
iTunes to play appropriate
paced music, as well as
track a runner’s speed and
distance (Nike, 2009). By
doing this, the Apple iPod
has placed their name with
another high end, high
quality brand, giving them
both more credibility and
more exposure to a
different target market.
