Sharp decline in the popularity of Apple's iPhone in Europe

After years of supremacy in the world, Apple is beginning to feel the ill effects of economic and concurrency. The facts suggest that the popularity of the firm at the apple begins to descend steeply. Although it is hard to believe, this is not a mere hypothesis. It also shows that the reports published by the firm "Kantar Wordpanel" about iPhone sales during the last quarter. The largest decline was recorded in September with 3.3 million iPhone unsold, and that, compared to the previous quarter.
If Apple Smartphones continue to be popular in England and the United States, it is not at all the case in the rest of Europe. In France, sales of Apple products recorded a fall of 9% in one year, from 29% to 20%. In Germany, sales fell 5% from 27% to 22%. Apple posted the same percentage decline in countries such as Italy or Spain.
Decrease of the Apple iPhone
Many reasons for this slump in sales of smartphones Apple. The limited purchasing power of users leads them to resort to models of lower-priced smartphones. Note that many brands have recently released models whose prices are more responsive to users, to name a tablet Iconia Acer A200 in terms of competitors iPad or Smartphone from HTC or Nokia. Compared to the price of an iPhone, those brands mentioned above are significantly lower. In addition, Android is becoming increasingly important and is extremely efficient.
The growth of competition is also something to do with this decline in sales of iPhone. Indeed, this competition has increased 42% this year alone. Korean giant Samsung has made things worse by releasing its Galaxy S2, which by the way, rivals the iPhone. Considered the finest of the Smartphone world, the Samsung S2 Galaxy is the ultimate smartphone manufactured in Asia. France was one of the favorite targets of Samsung. The amount of the French campaign at its output is estimated at 25 million euros. By running the Smartphone, Samsung did not skimp on the means used to reach the French public. It is therefore quite normal that sales of the Korean company far exceed those of Apple.
The output constantly pushed the iPhone 4S associated with the absence of a highly anticipated iPhone 5 yet was also one of the reasons for the decline in sales. Technophiles and fans of the brand have suffered badly from the long wait and some of them preferred to turn to other models.

The iPhone, casualty of the economic crisis

The economic crisis in Europe spared not the iPhone, back against a fleet of cheaper alternatives, led by the Google Android OS.Combined with the emergence of platforms cheaper alternatives in fact, the effects of the economic crisis in Europe have a significant impact on the iPhone, now far down the face of Android devices.The Old Continent as a whole is idling for two years, as the result of one of the darkest periods it has been financial.
Therefore in the universe IT: the French are gradually moving away Apple products, in favor of compromise generally less expensive.
To believe the study by the firm Kantar Worldpanel Comtech, "the price is a criterion more critical than ever to purchase a mobile phone. "
The democratization of Windows Phone, thanks to the Nokia 800 Lumia, accompanied by a rise in system Android, which the editor, none other than Google, now boasts more than 50% of the smartphone market.
In parallel, the iPhone 4S has generally disappointed in the Hexagon. Sometimes described as unworthy successor or offspring of non-sparking, the unit inducted in October has come to many as the mark of a release, Apple seems to rest on its laurels.
Between early September and late November, the print of the bitten apple has met under the aegis of "only" 20% of new buyers, as against 29% over the same period last year.
Like this, Germany, already resistant to Internet Explorer (Firefox users prefer it), has become the ambassador of a phenomenon that is reflected also in Spain and Italy.
Catalyst passions as litigation drags on his face to Apple, Samsung sells its shovel Galaxy S II. Consequently, 61% of handsets sold in the Rhine during the above-mentioned boarded Android.
A breakthrough that takes the place of perspective. In his own country (the U.S.), the iPhone does not disappoint, with a strong burst of from 25 to 36% of the market. Similar observation in Britain. Hope is always allowed.

IPhones banned from Syria

The Lebanese press said that the Syrian government banned the marketing and use of smartphones from Apple on its territory, such as the World turns our colleagues.
Newspapers in Lebanon and explain the import of such devices is now prohibited, but more that its users could see them confiscated and then be caught by legal action if they were caught using them.


It seems that the prohibition applies only to phones from Apple. It is difficult to obtain information at the source on this, given that Syria is currently closed to reporters. The country’s authorities do not actually want the foreign media covering the popular uprising against the regime of President Bashar al-Assad, currently inside its borders.
One of the few ways for protesters to communicate with the outside world is just smart phones that offer Internet access and that can take videos and photos, which can then be shared online.

Fusion Mobile Blackberry: RIM acknowledges the competition in the business

Strategy - By managing but also by welcoming iOS and Android devices in its infrastructure BES, RIM is trying to retain businesses in the ecosystem.'Blackberry Mobile Fusion is a two-stage rocket. A rocket Strategic RIM, the maker of Blackberry. First, we must first respond to the consumerization of business use. In parallel to the terminals provided by management, employees bring their own smartphones and intend to use them professionally.RIM tool makes it possible to manage heterogeneous fleets (iOS, Android, RIM) from a single centralized console. The terminal management application is not in itself new. The real novelty, the second stage of the rocket, is the host of these terminals in the BES, ultra-secure infrastructure management RIM suggested by mail to large enterprises.
Translation, Android and iOS will enjoy the same features and security options that the Blackberry yesterday exclusively associated with the BES (Blackberry Enterprise Server). This is a significant change in philosophy for Canada.
Do not s'arcbouter
For the first time, competing terminals are accepted and managed in the BlackBerry ecosystem. The manufacturer makes the obvious: the Blackberry does not reign supreme in most companies, especially, they lose influence with the DSI.
A study by Enterprise Management Associates (EMA) on major accounts of 10,000 or more employees, 30% of Blackberry users consider switching to another platform next year. This rate rises to 60% for SMEs!
According to the research institute, the strong trend is expected to impact significantly and rapidly from the Canadian market in large companies, a share that now stands at 52% he said. And the recent outages that affected the group did not improve the situation.
Long believed that RIM's secure infrastructure would be enough to silence the competition. But this is not the case. Instead of s'arcbouter, the manufacturer decided to play the opening left by hosting the competition to see sales of its terminal decline.
"What our customers professional research, and the opportunity before us, is to become the reference platform," said Alan Panezic, RIM's vice president for product management professionals.
"It will help them remember the flood of companies planned to give up their BES but it will not help them sell more handsets," however, tempers Phillip Redman, an analyst at Gartner. "That's what they really need to do."
In short, the manufacturer may perhaps see the sales of its terminal decline in business (although the new generation in BBX could restore the air to compete). But with this announcement, it maintains its position as a provider of highly secure platform and is now open.
