arious stages of product life cycle!!
"he product life cycle has # very clearly defined stages!.
Introduction Stage$ "his stage of the cycle could be the most e%pensive for a companylaunching a new product. "he si&e of the market for the product is small, which means sales arelow, although they will be increasing..
Growth Stage$ "he growth stage is characteri&ed by a strong growth in sales and profits, andbecause the company can start to benefit from economies of scale in production, the profitmargins, as well as the overall amount of profit, will increase.
Maturity Stage$ 'uring the maturity stage, the product is established and the aim for themanufacturer is now to maintain the market share they have built up.
Decline Stage$ (ventually, the market for a product will start to shrink. "his shrinkage could bedue to the market becoming saturated or because the consumers are switching to a differenttype of product. )hile this decline may be inevitable, it may still be possible for companies tomake some profit by switching to less!e%pensive production methods and cheaper markets.

"hough its hardly a surprise that the average selling price of Apples iPhones is higher than that
of Android smart phones. As what is surprising though, is the fact that the price gap between
i4S and Android devices is actually widening. ?n *-/0 the price gap was s i4S as Apple pays more tothe developers , hence the price point charged to consumers is high
#H! HA0D+A0! SID!; )hile the cost of manufacturing for both the euipment should not
be much of a difference given the volumes both Apple and @oogle enjoy. Eowever the
difference comes down to the +rand Perception and the Coolness Factor which Apple enjoy.

one trend affecting both Apple and its Android!powered competitors is a tablet market that,overall, is showing signs of weakness. ?f thats the case, it will a sharp drop from last year, when
the tablet market grew by more than 7-=."he growing popularity of smartphones with larger screens may be having some effect on tabletdemand, particularly in emerging markets. Last year, ?'C reported that phablets outsold bothtablets and PCs in most Asian markets during the second uarter. "hese phones boast screen
si&es between five and seven inches.#he iPad company
'uring its first two years on the market, the iPad e%perienced rapid growth, selling faster thanany of the products that had preceded it. Some projected that, one day, Apple would becomethe KiPad companyK !! its tablet business looked on track to eventually overtake the iPhone.
At this point, that notion looks to be thoroughly shattered. +arring drastic changes to its tablet
strategy, Apples tablet business should continue to disappoint.

conclusion
)ith the above data we can say there is growth in the overall tablet market by *-/8 the market
will grow by /-*= and demand in the apple tablet will increase by-= but at the same time we
have to see the other tablets price in the market which will be lesser than apple and to meet the
customer reuirement apple has to reduce the price further. ?n *-/0 we can see that ? phone ty
is *.0 times more than the ipad with higher profit margin. ?n *-/8 the ? phone sale is still /.5
times higher than ipad with /7= more profit margin.we can say that ? phone is more revenue
generator with higher profir margin.
+y seeing the product life cycle of both the product we can say that iphone is in just start of the
maturity phase and ipad is at the end maturity phase.?t is advisable to continue with iphone and
we can slowly stop the ipad as it is giving lesser profit margin.
)e can coclude that from the revenue generation and profit point of view apple>s ?phone is a
better product than ?pad and we can pahase out ipad production in ne%t coming years9* to 0
