Apple-Developing and Managing Products

New product- product new to the world, the market, the producer, the seller, or some combination of these.

Apple has three different types of new products. New-to-the-world products, additions to existing product lines, and improvements or revisions of existing products.

Their new-to-the-world products would be the first generation iPod that Apple released back in 2001, the original iPhone that was released in 2007, the iPad that was released in 2010. All of these products were new-to-the-world products, the world did not have any of these products before their release date.

Additions to existing product lines would be the iPod Nano, iPod Shuffle, iPod Touch, iPod Mini, iPod Video, iPod Classic (the first iPod). These products are additions to the iPod line of Apple. iPhone, iPhone 2, iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, and iPhone 5 are all additions to the iPhone line. Now all of the products that Apple has made are improvements or revisions of the previous product. They have all changed but still carry the same idea on all items.

When it comes to Apple, they do not have any prototypes. most of the time, if the item has a defect or glitch, the consumer gets a brand new device from Apple, glitch free. Many of Apple's new released products have glitches in them. They are revised quickly and the revised product will have its own release date.

The advertising for Apple is what sells the product to the consumer. The advertising pulls all consumers in and persuades the consumer to purchase their product. Apple advertises everywhere.
