Need more of the Apple iPhone 5

Antartikaraya@blogspot.com. -Long-term use of the phone (LTE) wireless technology Evolution will allow operators to increase their costs and increase profits as existing users downloading more content and non-converts smartphones tempted to take the plunge. But although some of the new software, which is relatively small tweaks to the hardware and the operating system is starting to show its age the risk of leaving the tech titan Apple lags competitors such as South Korea's Samsung, and Google. "The new iPhone will be Apple's most successful smartphone to date," said the research firm Ovum of Melbourne. "However, without a redesign of the iOS user experience and the underlying software platform within the next two years, Apple will find itself in a position similar to Nokia and RIM ... with outdated smartphone platform." Kim Hue-jae at Daishin Securities said the main benefit of the new iPhone have focused on the adoption of fourth-generation LTE network. "The iPhone showed a significant increase only by the fact that it's running on LTE. This will help operators enhance LTE to their customers," said Kim. But in Japan, where Apple has 28.7 percent of the large and growing smartphone market, the iPhone is tied to the second-and third-largest carrier, KDDI and Softbank, which has not run a good network of 4G LTE compatible, according to Dow Jones Newswires. Both companies said they intend to hold a friendly Apple LTE network sometime in the fall, but neither specified date. IPhone 5 hit stores in Japan on September 21, the same day it goes on sale in the United States, Canada, UK, France, Germany, Singapore, Hong Kong and Australia. Industry leader NTT DoCoMo, which has a stranglehold on about half of the Japanese mobile phone market, it offers network-compatible, but does not sell Apple products.

Apple and Samsung have been engaged in patent row around the world and last month won the U.S. giant more than $ 1 billion in high-profile court case against a bitter rival. This week the Wall Street Journal reported that Apple has shifted some orders for memory chips from Samsung Electronics for the iPhone to other regional manufacturers but banking giant HSBC said Samsung is not likely to be injured severely. "We believe the launch of the iPhone 5 will have a limited impact on Samsung's component business and the potential positive impact," he said, adding that Apple's supply chain "diversification" has been expected. Smartphones accounted for only 22.5 percent of Japanese mobile phone market in March, the ratio is expected to increase in coming years, according to MM Research Institute. "Just from the standpoint of the promotion, it will be easier to sell a new product with new functionality from existing products," said Daiwa Securities analyst Koki Shiraishi said. "The launch should make people more aware of the availability of smartphones and the range that has not been used," he said. But that itself can cause problems. The jump in demand is expected to result in the production hiccups, said Michito Kimura, senior market analyst at IDC Japan. "There is a possibility that insufficient supply of key components, such as semiconductors, while it can suppress high-end handsets," including the iPhone 5, he said. Some of Apple's suppliers get a boost from the opening on Wednesday, with Meiko Electronics, a manufacturer of printed circuit boards, surged 10.73 percent on the Tokyo Stock Exchange. Murata Manufacturing rose 2.85 percent and TDK rose 3.70 percent. But, said Kang Hyun-gie, an analyst at Solomon Investment & Securities in South Korea, market players were not impressed. "Overall, the iPhone 5 hardware-wise disappointing side software looks rather promising. But it seems like it was not good enough to excite investors," he said.
