  • the powerful security sytem

market share

Microsoft has the biggest market share over any operating system you can watch this graph below

Apple’s Operating system is used only 10% compared to windows which makes it invulnerable to hacker attacks, Hackers are always driven by money, so they won’t invest time to create viruses for non-overspread operating systems like iOS.

Apple uses an end-to-end encryption system that prevents any user to access data except a sender and recipient, FBI had much trouble with apple’s privacy strategy. Apple refused to create a device that allow hackers to unlock any device with one master key.

In addition, Apple doesn’t sell at all the user data as famous flowing companies do :

  • amazon==> 31%

reliability

According to Apple’s official website, Apple has been part of the ConnectED initiative since 2014, investing $100 million of teaching and learning solutions to 114 underserved schools across the country.

In addition, Apple makes a lot of donations of its products like iPad for many students, also iPad for teachers, and an Apple TV for classrooms.

Apple give discounts to students

Apple makes appealing and encouraging discounts that can reach up to 20%, which is so attractive for them. On laptops, students can get a 10% discount.

The iPod revolution

steve jobs had a genius idea when he released an iPod in 2001, the device was spectacular. People couldn’t belive that this small tiny product can hold thousands of playlist songs.

At that time users were carrying heavy CD readers, so the idea was a smashing marketing gain for a brand. In addition, Apple made partnerships with song producers and made billions of dollars from that.

The iPad product was one the successful and popular products after iPhone, especially for students who were obsessed with music.

Big Marketing budget

Apple spend dramatically the imaginable budgets for marketing, in 2019 he spent $1.8 billion for marketing.

today apple decided to not share anymore the data about its spending marketing budget, the analysts say that’s doesn’t want to give a track to its revenue according to the huge dividend that it gets.
