What The New Iphone And Ipad Mean For Apple's Bank Account

Monday afternoon, Apple unveiled its new 4-inch iPhone and 9.7 inch iPad Pro. The company has been experiencing challenging times since last year when their share price dropped by 15 percent. The tech giant began a slow climb up in February, but once again descended during the product unveiling. What will this mean for investors, Millennials, and entrepreneurs? Hopefully, the new technology will boast enough features to pull Apple back up. Investors seem pleased that Apple is continuing to develop a strong line of products that are more easily available. Access is key as consumers are tired of waiting in lines. Along with the new unveiling came notable price cuts on products like the Apple watch, iPad Air 2, and various other devices. The discounts are drawing in new consumers and it looks as though they will captivate an even larger audience for their merchandise. Tim Cook shared a very specific growth strategy for the mobile leader that could have their stock seeing greener growth.

 iPhone Specs

The new little 4 inch iPhone, which is being called the SE, seems much like its iPhone 5 counterparts. However, it’s packs power and a higher resolution camera. The camera is a 12MP iSight with True Tone Flash that can offer panoramic photos for up to 63 Megapixels. Social media-friendly Millennials cheer! The phone appears to be ideal for photographers as it can shoot photos similar to, if not better than an average digital camera. The iPhone SE will still offer the Touch Id fingerprint sensor that its fans rave about due to the security and efficiency. It is already being touted the most powerful 4-inch phone of all time. The 16GB iPhone will start at $399, which is a fairly average price when comparing to the Android Smartphones on the market.

iPad Pro Specs

The all new iPad Pro is also smaller than the iPad Air 2. It is geared toward a “less is more” concept and for many, may be ideal for replacing your typical PC. It comes equipped with a keyboard, stylus support and a new camera that can film in a 4k resolution video. It also has four speakers and claims to be the best iPad yet. The 32GB is starting out at $599 and is giving consumers a lot of bang for the buck.

Investor Insight 

Apple has historically had a profound impact on the stock market. It’s a stock we have been following for nearly two decades. They are the 3rd most influential company on the Dow, which has them at a positive 5 points. They have the largest positive impact on NASDAQ 100, which is about 3.5 NDX points. Their year-to-date is up by 1.3%. They are holding on tight to their average 30-day trade volume, which is a whopping 38 million shares. So, while they are down, there is no spiraling out of control. While some people are still disappointed at Tim Cook and Apple for their refusal to allow Federal Investigators a “back door” to their software, it may actually be helping them financially. Consumers appreciate  knowing that they are purchasing a safe personal device and that the company stands to protect their privacy. During the unveiling, Apple made it clear that they are standing by their decision and investors appeared pleased.

Entrepreneurs are getting more of an option with the new releases. The application designs are more friendly towards app creation. This could drive their profit margin even higher, as it will be less difficult to provide quality apps.

Overall, it seems as though Apple has designed a phone consumers will gravitate to. The iPhone is small yet mighty, efficient and more cost effective than your typical new iPhone release. With Apple making the conscious decision to slash prices and add audience, they are geared to drive more customers for their products. Tim Cook, has taken Apple a step further and reassured consumers that their Apple devices will protect their privacy. The growth strategy is highly intuitive as it will have a large impact on the ever growing Chinese economy and even cause an economic boost in India. This could be exactly what Apple needs to get more Android users to switch platforms. If the predictions hold true for Apple, we may be seeing many more cost effective products, even as soon as the launch of the iPhone 7, which is rumored to be out this fall.
