Will Apple Win the Mobile Wars?

In the fast approaching mobile revolution, the company with the best machines and the latest technology will win that’s why Apple is the most formidable force in technology, according Gene Munster, an Apple analyst for Piper Jaffray & Co, in an appearance at Business Insider’s IGNITION Conference on the future of the media. The iPhone and iPad are now the pervasive features of the media landscape, one can only wonder how Apple’s hardware advantage will translate into deeper dominance. In 2003, two-thirds of Apple’s business focused on personal computing. Today, it’s merely a quarter, with mobile and computer business growing 10-fold.

“Apple will continue to create technology that defines how we consumer media for decades to come,” Munster said. The interactivity, versatility, and easy capacity to consumer video and other media have set Apple apart. “Apple starts young, starts cheap, and graduates consumers onto newer devices,” says Munster. “It’s not an issue of having more apps in a store, but the product itself.”
