...Final Paper Project due 8/24/14 11:59 pm EST Topic: APPLE IN CHINA Apple Inc. is a Multinational American company with its headquarters in Cupertino, California was established in 1977.It is a much revered multinational company that designs and sells desktops, laptops, Smart phones, Tablets, software and accessories. Apple was the first major novel entrant to the evolving mobile Internet market otherwise known as smartphone which in 2007 introduced the Apple iPhone. ``It catalyzed a shift in the architecture of the mobile phone industry and set the standard in two ways. First, it provided a fully functional web browser that allowed users to escape previous operator-specific silos of mobile content by linking them directly to the infinitely larger and more diverse Internet value networks.Ineffect, it collapsed the boundaries between the mobile device and the Internet with its enormous content. Secondly, leveraging the iPod ecosystem, but going far beyond it, the iPhone created a platform sufficiently open and attractive to create an ecosystem of application providers with 250,000 iPhone-specific applications that encouraged billions of downloads``( Kenney,M. & Pon,B.2011). Apple designs, markets and manufactures portable communication digital media devices like personal computers (pc`s), digital musical players, and interrelated software products. Among the Company’s products and services are the iPhone, IPod, iPad, Mac Pc, Apple TV, ICloud, iTunes, iBook, the iOS...

...that suggests the iPhone 7 will be far less successful than both the iPhone 5 and the iPhone 6? The iPhone 6-era produced more growth than the iPhone 5-era (trend is in the right direction), AAPL is opening more retail stores in China now than ever before, China’s middle class is growing at a rate of 10% (assuming China GDP growth of 7%) and is expected to be 1.5x the size of the US middle class in 2017, and 30% of iPhone buyers are switching from Android. Although it was arguably reasonable for analysts to sound the alarm bells from 2013 through 2014 because era-over-era growth dropped from 563.3% (iPhone 4-era) to 51.1% (iPhone 5 era), it is unfounded today given a conservative iPhone 6 era-over-era growth estimate of approximately 63% (30%+ per year). This report focuses on the iPhone because it generates nearly 70% of AAPL revenue and 100% of growth. I bought AAPL on 2/16/2016 at $95.0 because the Street’s 2017 revenue and earnings estimates are irrationally low. Thesis Summary: * The Street focuses on QoQ growth rates and next quarter guidance, which equates to comparing every iPhone release with the previous release in order to project short to medium term iPhone revenue growth. This methodology would have an investor think that iPhone growth is slowing and the iPhone 7 will produce far lower growth than the 5 (~25%/year) or the iPhone 6 (~30%/year) * The reasonable/rational way to think about iPhone growth is “era-over-era” because all iPhone releases are not...

Apple released the first generation of iPhone on June 29, 2007. Apple’s CEO Steve Jobs made an announcement to introduce the iPhone in San Francisco at the MacWorld Conference and Expo. Jobs told the crowd the iPhone was five years ahead of the market of cell phones. The development of the iPhone was based on the combination of an MP3 player and telephone. The phone was the first of its kind. The iPhone was exclusive for AT& T customers because of the agreement with the two companies. AT& T was the only wireless carrier to carry the iPhone for the first five years. Apple would have to create an operating system because other data network was too slow.

Today, Apple just let the world down. iPhone the color of the 5C and 5S high prices become the key topic in the China.

...Capturing Value in Global Networks: Apple’s iPad and iPhone Kenneth L. Kraemer, Greg Linden, and Jason Dedrick1 University of California, Irvine, University of California, Berkeley and Syracuse University July 2011 1 Acknowledgement: This research has been supported by grants from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation and the U.S. National Science Foundation (CISE/IIS). Any opinions, findings, and conclusions or recommendations expressed in this material are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Sloan Foundation or the National Science Foundation. Abstract This article analyzes the distribution of value from innovation in the global supply chains of the Apple iPad and iPhone. We find that Apple continues to capture the largest share of value from these innovations. While these products, including most of their components, are manufactured in China, the primary benefits go to the U.S. economy as Apple continues to keep most of its product design, software development, product management, marketing and other high-wage functions in the U.S. China’s role is much smaller than most casual observers would think. A key finding for managers is that they need to beware of relying too heavily on single customers. With its control over the supply chain, Apple has the power to make and break the fortunes of many of its suppliers. A key finding for policymakers is that there is little value in electronics assembly. Bringing high-volume electronics...

An employee at one location estimated the 5S had outsold its cheaper sibling three-to-one.Today, Apple's online stores in the U.S. and China promise to ship the iPhone 5C within 24 hours.

Why so Many Foreign Companies Want to Build Factories in China

...Why so Many Foreign Companies Want to Build Factories in China United Nations data of the total foreign direct investment in 2013 shows that China attracted $ 101 billion for continuing topped the list of developing countries. Why so many foreign companies want to build factories in China. I think it has three reasons to explain this question. I will use the example of Apple to show these three reasons. First of all, China as one of the cheap labor export base all over the world, attracting a large number of foreign companies to invest in production in China. American market investment company ConvergEx Group conducted a global minimum wage ranking in August 2013. From this ranking, Australia is $ 16.88 per hour topped the list. The United States is at an intermediate position. China is $ 0.8 per hour on the 17th in this list. The group is also based on the existing minimum wage, calculated that people in countries that are listed in the number of minutes of work to buy a Big Mac hamburger. Among them, the Chinese people need to work on average about 183 minutes to buy a Big Mac price of $ 2.61, which is located in the middle and lower purchase levels. The first decade of 1978 after China started economic reforms aimed at foreign direct investment in China's main business is to establish an export base in China. While this Chinese "reform and opening" initially helpful, but such investments often only have a very low value. For example, in 2009 a study found that, despite...

Apple Formulation

...Per Share Of $8 A Distinct Possibility Jan. 8, 2016 10:34 AM ET by: Michael Blair Disclosure: I/we have no positions in any stocks mentioned, but may initiate a short position in AAPL over the next 72 hours. Summary Top down forecasts show weaker revenues from iPhones and iPads as unit volumes wane. Volatility in China's stock market suggests an economic turn-down likely in that key market. AAPL stock is breaking down below $100 per share and the trend is lower. Forecasting is always a challenge but it's essential to smart investing. Forecasting the world's most valuable company is a full-time occupation for literally dozens of analysts employed by investment firms worldwide. Getting the forecast right determines the success or failure of an investment thesis and ultimately whether risk is rewarded or punished. In the case of Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) forecasting is made easier by the very limited portfolio of products Apple currently sells and the importance of the iPhone to its revenues. A 5% error in the number of iPhones shipped in a given year amounts to something like $6 or $7 billion in revenue and as much as $2 billion in net income depending on margins rates. Analysis who can forecast to within 5% accuracy are a rare breed, so the fact is that investors will find little certainty in forecasts. What they can see with greater clarity is the first derivative of forecast sales - the rate of growth or decline as time passes. I believe the volatility in many technology...
