Apple Plans for Major Company Changes

Apple has released information that it's entire product line will be going through a complete overhaul during the 2012 fiscal year. Reports have specified that the change in product will be specific to the iPad, iMac, iPhone, and Mac Book Air. While Apple is know for frequent changes to their products, this idea of an overhaul is new to the large, California based computer company. The 3rd generation of the iPad is nearest to completion and is potentially ready for release by january of 2012.

All other products being released will see the public in late 2012 as development is still occurring. Apple's product releases have always led to positive outcomes for the company. When the original iPhone hit the market, individuals responded with over 50,000 web sales immediately following the key note presentation. Apple, as well as it's consumer base, is excited about the coming months and the new products that will soon to be available. The overhaul will have changes in design and technology. Many people believe that the iPhone is in need of a change as the design has held constant for about two years.

  1. Im not sure that a complete overhaul is what apple needs right now, especially after the death of their most influential innovator. A complete change in products could possibly alienate current customers if not up to Apple's previous standards.

  2. I think it is hard for Apple to make any drastic movement yet. They need to allow the passing of their leader to fade before changing their products or the company itself.
