Apple were infact one of the slowest to react to the “application of the millennium” (Linzmayer 2004, p300). Released in 2001 and weighing at just 6.5 ounces, the iPod held around 1000 songs. What set the iPod apart from its competitors were a number of key features.

Allowing for simple navigation was the ‘click-wheel’, an update on the 1st generation iPod ‘scroll wheel’, which is an innovation in itself.
It is widely known and is easily distinguishable among its competitors. Gatorade's main competitive brand is PowerAde, made by the Coca-Cola Company, but until recently, they did not present a challenge to Gatorade. PowerAde does not have a good target market perception and are considered a second place drink to Gatorade. PowerAde does not have the same quality of winning athletes that Gatorade has.

In the battle of affordability, it is a draw. The Ford F-150 is relatively cheap compared to the Chevy Silverado when both are equipped with the exact same features, although some features or parts are only available for just the Ford or the Chevy. The Ford is $25,480 compared to the $32,868 that the Chevy cost. However, many of the features in the Chevrolet are not included in the Ford.

To prove this point, Samsung’s newest Android device, the Galaxy S8+, has more RAM and a powerful octa-core processor versus Apple’s newest device, the iPhone X. Having a strong CPU and plenty of RAM is essential for multitasking and boosting productivity. It also prevents slowdowns and hangs while working.
