Why Apple is failing?

The price of iPhone is making the public change their opinions. The high price-tag has been a huge factor in its sales. Apple has consistently maintained its premium tag, but aggressive players like One Plus, Samsung, Oppo, Vivo, Redmi, Xiaomi have become far more experimental and creative.

The lesson global brands can learn is the time has come that Indian customers have become aware and one can’t fool them just for the sake of giving a tag.

Innovation factor

No doubt, Apple has a loyal customer base and even that portion of a market is now looking to change. Curiosity is what makes people buy things and Apple is lacking that at the moment. Global brands need to have a more emotional connection with customers and must be ready to adopt changes according to the market.

Lacking customer interaction

Brands are becoming super active on digital media. Social media platforms are helping them to interact with their target audience directly and Apple on the other hands seems silent and isn’t trying to approach customers.
