Future Trends
• The new name and device represent APPLE’s strategic shift away from its origins as a personal computing company. • Adopting consumer product strategy, Apple will aim to become the hub of the digital home. • To fulfil this strategy, we predict that Apple will launch new products, re-engineer the Apple Store, and expand into in-home installation services.
