During the tenure of former CEO Steve jobs, Apple had extreme unprecedented success. Garnering an almost cult-like following with its innovations, Apple found itself in very unique position in that the products it manufactured were first to market, essentially creating a new market for competitors to challenge it in. While there where computers, phones and mp3 players from different companies none had the integration and usability across all it’s platforms like Apple did. This allowed it to sell one product to a consumer but guarantee this product would work with its other devices. Additional to this, it brought to market a phone that integrated various technologies.
Aside from the Apple 1 being the beginning of personnel computing the two innovators were able to capitalize on the fact that they were nobodies from nowhere and managed to intrigue the world with their product. They were viewed as a couple of guys that new computers and what they wanted form them. (1) Apple was initially incorporated as Apple Computer, Inc. The company later changed the name to just Apple, Inc, in a move widely regarded as an indicator of the companies intentional shift to consumer electronics and not just computers.

Apple is one of the most famous and popular companies in the world now; the reason for its popularity not only is their innovative products and pioneering ideas, but is also their form of advertisement. Steve Jobs, the founder of the company “Apple”, once said, “It’s not about pop culture, and it’s not about fooling people, and it’s not about convincing people that they want something they don’t.” So then, how did his company advertise their products? There are many different propaganda techniques that a company can use to persuade customers, and Apple is one of the companies that use these techniques a lot. Apple uses the propaganda technique "testimonial" to make people see connections between the company and their featured celebrities.

Most people would not want to stand in the Apple store for a class to learn to use their new toy.
“iPhone 5. The biggest thing to happen to iPhone since iPhone” (Apple). This is Apple’s slogan for its newest innovation. They were not kidding when they said, “It’s almost here,” (Apple) and ‘it’ could not have hit the nation with anything less than a storm. It seemed like a lot of hype for what in all reality was yet another smartphone for more money with added tricks and sparkle.
This also alludes to Apple products being utilized with or within other company procedures other than as a stand-alone product. Although this may mean that currently there is a slowdown in producing new products it is definitely a progressive step that many companies are taking, such as Goggle and Samsung. Cook’s approach to distribute the innovation efforts across the company and in multiple ways seems to be working.

The success of this strategy will position Apple to overtake Samsung in many of their
