After the problems of the Galaxy Note 7 with its flammable batteries, everything seemed to indicate that the iPhone 7 would be the fate of unhappy users with the South Korean brand. But analyst Stephen Baker disagrees with this and think that the users of Note 7 will remain faithful to Samsung, partly due to high ‘wow’ features on the last bite Apple smartphones.
According to Baker, “the majority of those who bought or wanted to buy a Note 7 opted for a different high end Galaxy phone.” Samsung was able to face other competition Android, and Apple, thanks to their own lack of ‘ wow effect’ products this year“.” And it is that we have to remember that the most important novelty of the new iPhone is a dual 7 Plus iPhone camera that allows us to take photos with the famous effect portrait or “bokeh” currently “only”, in quotation marks.
Samsung will not lose to Note 7 users
On the other hand, analyst Chetan Sharma is in accordance with the opinion of Baker and speaks of the lack of “irresistible enough feature set” of the iPhone 7, which made the new Apple smartphone would not offer enough to convince the owners of a 7 Note that change of ecosystem:
Apple has the strongest ecosystem, with its hardware, software and applications and content stores. IPhone users are looking for an upgrade that keep them in Apple. But in a year in which Samsung dropped the ball in an impressive way, Apple has not had a phone with a set of features compelling enough to attract owners of Samsung.
Two analysts ensure that both Apple and Samsung have made mistakes this year that will cost them some growth. According to Sharma, “the time not could have been worse for Samsung or best for Apple, but it certain is that none of the two companies has got capitalize on this year“.
In my opinion, the fate that has taken Samsung in 2016 is that Apple is waiting for 2017 to introduce something special taking advantage of the tenth anniversary of the iPhone. If they launch something we all expect, 2017 iPhone will be a terminal that few can make shadow. We hope that does not disappoint.
