तीन दिन में नब्बे लाख एप्पल फ़ोन बिके : जिन्दा एप्पल एक लाख का मारा एप्पल सवा लाख का

apple i phone 5

 

एप्पल कंपनी ने एक नया फ़ोन इ ५ निकाला जिसके तीन दिन मैं नब्बे  लाख फ़ोन बिक गए .एप्पल कंपनी के शेयर के दाम बढ़ गए .संसार मैं एप्पल की फिर धूम मच गयी . नोकिया , सोनी ,सम्संग सब दांग हैं .लड़ाई आज भी सिर्फ दूसरी जगह की है.

मैं स्टीव जॉब की मृत्यु के बाद एप्पल की श्रद्धांजलि भी लिख रहा था पर उसके बूढ़े अध्यक्ष टीम ने दिखा दिया की उनकी बूढी हड्डियों मैं इतना तो दम है की एप्पल को जल्दी नहीं मरने देंगे. परन्तु विशेषग्य जान रहे हैं की एप्पल की आत्मा नष्ट हो जाने के बाद केवल उसका शरीर जिन्दा बचा है. टीम उस शरीर को वेंटिलेटर पर बचाए हुए हैं . स्टीव की मृत्यु के बाद एप्पल ने कोई जादू नहीं किया बल्कि उसी प्रोडक्ट को झाड पोंछ कर , छोटा कर , सस्ता कर , चमका कर कुछ दिन तक मृत्यु को पीछे धकेल रहे हैं . एप्पल तो जादूई कंपनी थी , अब जादू नहीं बचा सिर्फ कम्पनी बच गयी  है जैसे बिना आत्मा के शरीर.जब तक जीवन है नए सेल बनते रहते हैं . यही जीवन है. नयी तकनीक के बिना कोई कब तक महंगा एप्पल फ़ोन खरीदेगा . जवान सम्संग अब तकनीक मैं एप्पल को कडा मुकाबला दे रहा है.

एप्पल माइक्रोसॉफ्ट का नया अवतार बन गया है . विंडोज के बाद म्क्रोसोफ्त ने कुछ नया जादूई प्रोडक्ट नहीं बनाया . उसका एक्स  बॉक्स गेम कंसोल तीसरे नंबर पर है. लैपटॉप नहीं चला . विंडो ८ सब को रुला रहा है. तब भी विंडो वाले उसको मरने नहीं दे रहे नहीं तो गूगल उनकी आँख का सुरमा चुरा कर भाग गया है. इन्टरनेट एक्स्प्लोरर सिर्फ पैंतीस प्र र्तिशत लोग ही उपयोग में  लाते हैं .यही हाल एप्पल का होने वाला है यदि उसने कोई नए अविष्कारकों को नहीं ढूंढ़ा .

 

संसार मैं ऊपर रहने का एक ही नियम है . अपनी जगह पर खड़े रहने के लिए सदा भागते रहो . यदि एप्पल ने समय रहते कुछ नहीं जादू दिखाया तो उसका भी माइक्रोसॉफ्ट वाला हाल होगा .

मेरा भारत महान इस सब मैं कहाँ है .

क्या हम साइबर कूली मैं ही खुश हैं ?

अब तो वहाँ भी फिलिपींस के नए कूली आ गए . इनफ़ोसिस , विप्रो व् एह सी एल पीछे होती जा रहीं हैं . विदेशी कम्पनियां आगी आ रही हैं . नारायण मूर्ती की बूढी काया पर फिर इनफ़ोसिस रचे मैं जितना चाहती है .

अच्छा होता यदि भारतीय कम्पनियां विदेशियों से कुछ सीखती.

Sales of new iPhones top forecastमें

Apple sells 9 million new iPhones in three days

Apple said it sold nine million new iPhone 5S and 5C handsets in the first three days after the smartphones’ release, about four million more than the previous iPhone model sold when it was launched.The new models went on sale worldwide Friday, and stock was quickly depleted. The company said in a statement that demand for the iPhone 5S exceeded initial supplies, and that many online orders will have to be shipped in the coming weeks.Apple shares were up by six per cent to $496.10 US at the opening of markets Monday and were trading at around $487 on the Nasdaq by late morning, up four per cent from Friday’s close.In the usual pre-launch frenzy, Apple fans around the world camped out overnight outside Apple stores and stood for hours in long lines, including outside the Eaton Centre in Toronto, in order to be among the first people to get their hands on the iPhones.

“It’s a great number,” said BGC Partners analyst Colin Gillis of the sales figures. “We have been saying they will be selling every 5S they can make and it looks like that is the case.”

When it released its last iPhone, the iPhone 5, last September, Apple sold about five million units in the initial three days after the launch. This launch exceeds that and is Apple’s most successful smartphone launch to date.

Apple did not separate out the sales figures for the two models that when on sale Friday. The 5S is the pricier of the two, retailing for $719 to $919 Cdn without a contract in Canada depending on whether it’s the 16 GB, 31 GB or 64 GB version. With a two-year wireless plan, it sells for around $230 to $440.

The 5S model features Apple’s new biometric technology Touch ID, which allows users to unlock their phones by scanning their fingerprint.

The cheaper 5C sells for $599 Cdn for the 16 GB version or $719 for the 31 GB model. With a wireless plan, customers will pay around $130 or $230.

Both models function on Apple’s revamped operating system iOS 7.

It’s the first time that Apple has released two smartphone models at the same time.

The company sold a total of 125 million iPhones last fiscal year. Its sales for that year were $156.5 billion US and revenue was $41.66 billion.

This year, Apple said in a regulatory filing, it expects total revenue for the fourth fiscal quarter to be near the high end of the previously estimated range of $34 billion to $37 billion. Analysts’ average forecast is $36.10 billion, according to the Reuters news agency.

(Reuters) – Apple Inc (NSQ:AAPLNews) sold a higher-than-expected 9 million iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c models in the first three days following their Friday launch, prompting the company to issue a more optimistic financial forecast.
Apple shares rose 4.5 percent to $488.64 in early trading on Monday following the news.
Sales of the new models were nearly double those of the iPhone 5 in the first weekend after its launch a year ago. The iPhone 5 sold 5 million in its first three days on the market.
“It’s a great number,” Colin Gillis, an analyst with BGC Partners, of the sales figure for the 5s and 5c. “We have been saying they will be selling every 5s they can make and it looks like that is the case.”
Wall Street analysts had expected Apple to sell about 6 million of the two new iPhones.
Apple tweaked its financial forecast to reflect the higher sales, an unusual move for the company. It said revenue in the fiscal fourth quarter would be near the high end of its previous forecast of $34 billion to $37 billion. It said gross profit margin would come in at the top of its previous forecast of 36 percent to 37 percent.
Analysts’ average revenue forecast is $36.10 billion, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
Daniel Ernst, an analyst with Hudson Square Research, said iPhone sales show Apple still has a deep connection with its customers.
“The critics have told you Apple lost its magic,” he said. “Customers are telling you something very different. Clearly, people like the product. That sentiment is almost more important than the number.”
Demand for the iPhone 5s has exceeded initial supplies, and many online orders are scheduled to be shipped in the coming weeks, Apple said.
On Friday, long lines formed outside stores in Tokyo, New York, San Francisco and other cities for the new top-of-the-line 5s and the less-expensive 5c. It was the first time Apple launched two iPhone models simultaneously.
The gold-colored version of the 5S, which also comes in silver and gray, was sold out as of Friday and will now ship only in October, according to Apple’s website. As of Monday, the two other colors were also set to be shipped only in October.
“The demand for the new iPhones has been incredible, and while we’ve sold out of our initial supply of iPhone 5s, stores continue to receive new iPhone shipments regularly,” Apple Chief Executive Tim Cook said in a statement. “We appreciate everyone’s patience and are working hard to build enough new iPhones for everyone.”

The company said more than 200 million iOS devices are now running the upgraded mobile operating system iOS 7, which was rolled out just before the iPhone launch.
Apple did not break out separate sales figures for the 5s and 5c. The 5s, whose price starts at $199, offers a touch ID that scans a user’s fingerprint to unlock the phone. The 5c, which starts at $99, comes in an array of colors.
Apple for the first time simultaneously launched the new iPhones in China, a crucial market, along with the rollout in Hong Kong, Singapore, the United States, Australia, Japan, UK, Canada, Germany, France and Puerto Rico.
It previously launched it phones in China a few months after the U.S. launch.
The more optimistic margin forecast should allay investor concerns that, at just $100 less than the 5s, the 5c will draw buyers away from the premium gadget.
“If Apple could ship so well without even having a larger screen iPhone, which we think it could deliver next year, then Apple is getting over a key hump,” Shebly Seyrafi, an analyst with FBN Securities, said in a note to clients. “We believe that the immediate availability of the phone in China is also a key driver of the strength.”
