Apple iPhone – a status symbol?

Status is everything in this modern age - Besides housing as well as jewelery, gadgets can also symbolize a person’s status. One such technological marvel is the Apple iPhone.

When rumours of the the Apple iPhone surfaced around the world, it was pre-selected as one of the biggest must-haves of 2007. When it became a reality, as soon as Apple set a release date, it was already sold-out. The first shipment of iPhones were gone before anyone had the chance to discern or decide whether it was worth the hundreds of dollars or not.

There is still some doubters as to whether Apple iPhone lives up to its price tag or whether it is just another achievement in marketing and advertising. Only time will tell.

Behind the Name

As a brand name, Apple has become a staple of technology. From the iMac to the iPod, it is the top reaching of multimedia devices. In a sense, it is not worth buying an mp3 player except if it is an iPod or a laptop unless it is a PowerBook. While the prices of Apple devices are steep, the company seems to defend the price. Cheaper devices hardly ever do well in the face of Apple products, and consumers are eager to spends hundreds more for Apple products.

This is due in part to Apple’s marketing, but also to its reliability. The company has proven that its products are durable, long-lasting and cutting edge and third-party companies release their products ultimately to be compatible with Apple products. For a consumer, this means that buying Apple promises only the best.

So, what about the Apple iPhone? While it is a technological wonder, combining an iPod, cell phone as well as internet browser all at once in a sleek, sexy package with a touch screen as well as virtual keyboard that makes geeks drool. For those who already own an iPod as well as a cell phone, not much else is gained with the Apple iPhone save the convenience of having it all in one place.

In 2007, Apple iPhone was nominated as the best invention. Apple has once again proven that anything it releases is golden and at any time it is time to purchase a new technological gadget its products stay on the top of list.
