Bigger Phone are Burring the Lines and Sales Between Tablets and Smartphones

I had to take a little hiatus on this Blog for a bit for work and studying purpose. As you may know writing is a rhythm you have to be in to do, similar to dancing…So I am back with a lot of topics for discussion for the techies and not-so-techies out there!

So lets get down to business here!!!

So as the Christmas shopping season is upon us, maybe you were deciding to get a really good Black Friday deal on a new iPad or Galaxy or go with something else like a new Galaxy Note 4 or the large iPhone6. It is not surprising that you are thinking this and you seem to be struggling on a decision on what to buy because your iPad2 (because everyone has an iPad2) is still performing very well, even with the new updates to the OS. Now if you are having this difficult decision, the big boys, Samsung and Apple, have an even larger problem to deal with. The reports state the tablet sales are dropping as large phones sales are increasing and Samsung's profits have dropped to the tune of 70% from last year and they simply claim that they ran out of people to sell a phone to. 

Part of the reason that you are having this question is the fact that the phones and tablets are becoming redundant technology to each other. "Redundant tech" is the meaning I use that I user will have multiple devices on them to be productive and plugged in. Now since phones now a days are a necessity and the lifeblood to humanity, this is also something that has equity because the fact that you can trade in and get comparable value even if it is 2 years old, as compared to a tablet which has little and depreciating equity and the value doesn't hold itself like a premium cell phone does. Because the larger screen on the cell phones, the functionality, use and entreatment  that you would get with the tablet (games and movies) are really blurred. Throw in the mix of smaller 6", 7" and 8" and the waters become more and more muddy! 

Now let's bring it back to basics here, and just stick with the main tablet and the phones. The Galaxy Note series offers a stylus for precision for a smaller screen and the iPhone is a couple years late with copying Android (let's be real, and stop acing like we don't know or deny the fact. We are all educated here) and the fact that tablets are heavily reliant on wifi to be enjoyable and also connecting the wifi to your cell account is going to cost you extra money for what? updating Facebook on a 10" screen instead of a 7" phone? Mostly tablets have been reduced to giving it to kids to watch a movie so they don't bother us and now the phones are large enough that they just watch Youtube movies on the phone. 

Just observe the discounts the big box stores (Target and Best Buy) are giving you if you buy a tablet this season, over $100 bucks off in gift cards as well as a minimal price drop from retail MSRP. But I believe the lines can be blurred both ways into the tablets favor. As the tablets are getting smaller and cheaper and still hold its processing value, with the big push the phone carriers are doing to get off the unlimited data plans, consumers will probably start going to tablets more and more because the price of data and overages are not worth what you pay for. I mean can we just update the selfies when we are on wifi? The larger phones mixed with the smaller tablets are basically the same things. except you not going to pay several hundreds of dollars to instantly update your instagram account. The mobility of the smaller tablets give portability of to tablets to fit in your pocket similar to the large phones and also the fact you don't really loose much screen real estate.  

In my opinion, I think users are going to come off the premium phone services and get the second tier services and get tablets with the savings of their monthly data charges. And if you think I'm crazy, just wait and read the fine print on these family sharing policies you see on TV, 2016 is going to suck for a lot of people(but not for you because you are smart and you read my blogs) because all the family sharing plans promotional data expires then, and then enjoy the 200+ phone bill, I mean is Facebook and Instagram that important to update? I rather Lease a Car instead!

The new iPhone 5C - Why cheaper is not better for you!!

As a blogger mainly on Ggoogle+ I know I am going to get a lot of flack on blogging about the iPhone 5S and iPhone5C. But there are some people who are still stuck in the Apple ecosystem and enjoy that functionality and will not experience the freedom and the winds of change.

However,

All eyes were on Samsung to revolutionize the world with their new unboxing of the Galaxy Note3 and Galaxy Gear, with people expecting more from this all eyes then turned to Apple 2 weeks later with their keynote presentation of the brand new iPhone 5S and 5C. With this iPhone event everyone wanted to know how Apple was going to not only catch up to the operating system of Andriod, but to revolutionize the industry as they claimed they were working on something BIG!

Income the iPhone5S and iPhone5C....

I can elaborate on both phones, but this blog is specifically for the iPhone5C...

As a consumer we perceive value in product if we can get it cheaper, and not better, and has the same functionality; this is an incorrect perception. As a customer of Apple with nothing but innovation and incredible products that are beautiful and well designed, we expect nothing but greatness for the company who dominance once ruled the world. The consumers of Apple expect innovation and ground breaking products and experience from new products because the history shows this and even after Apple is, to say the least stagnant, we expect every revision to be amazing(and to catch up to Andriod)! Everyone see the iPhone 5C as a good buy because of the larger screen than the 4S model but also the price point of the phone being $99. Consumers are drooling over the cheaper price tag and seeing that the new line of 5C are not only colorful, but can save $100 or upgrade the memory and get larger storage for the same money of the 5C. In this case, we perceive, the same product but more bang for your buck...... This is the WRONG WAY OF THINKING!!!

The reason Apple is where it is at and also everyone loves the experience of the iPhone is because of the hardware of the phones are amazing and companies are not only designing incredible apps for it, they are designing apps to maximize the limits of the graphics processors and pushing it to the limit. Buying the 5C in my opinion is equivalent to buying a iPhone 5 (Old Technology) which was released by Apple a year ago. Why do I care about that? Because of the fact that readers are not addicted to tech like bloggers and reviewers are, they don't get all the gadgets that come out and they probably only get a phone every 2 years. Think of where Apples apps will be in 2 years and if you had an iPhone 3GS, you would be crying and wishing for a better phone.

Sidebar - After watching the Keynote, Apple's iPhone 5S is the first 64-bit phone on the market, why should you care? because with the amount of processing that the new iOS 7 is using every time you open the lock screen or swipe screens or use the new swipe screen, your phone will lag, and we hate boot up time because Apple has showed us we never need to turn off and on our computers and the ipad wakes up instantly. I'm not Cleo the psychic, I'm just a blogger addicted.

Resuming....

Because Apple has always given you the best phones that are capable of performing for the innovation of the future everyone experience is groovy, except of you own an original iPad and an iPhone 3GS.

Be a smart consumer, if your favorite Flemmings steak went up in price, would you get the cheaper one? Would you go to Outback Steakhouse? You would, but you would say its good, but its not Flemmings (or your favorite food, this is just an example). This isn't a trap from Apple, this is simply Apples answer to Google selling Andriod GS3 and GS4 for incredibly lower prices and flooding the market (low end market) and taking power away from Apple. Not to downgrade Andriod, however Apple has had the best experience tech wise than any other company, blowing away Hp's and dells (I would capitalize the "d" in dell, however I don't care enough about the company to fix that grammar. I would rather ramble about this than to actually do it. I am making a point!!!!!) and killing Windows! I don't know of anyone drooling over the Window Surface tablet however the only reason why people have those and blackberry products is because they are company provided, deep down they want an Apple product (or premium Andriod too!!!). Nonetheless, Consumer.. Buy the iPhone5S and not the iPhone5C, it is a better product better experience and also after driving a Lexus and Mercedes, do you really like drive that new Toyota Corolla???

TECHNOLOGY - MY FIRST IMPRESSION OF MOTO X

This is my initial Blog Post to the world!!! and the subject is the Moto X

As I was in the att store yesterday I interacted with the phone and I was impressed.  Now before I start getting into the phone I just wanted to say thisbefore hand.  I am currently an andriod user and a google glass owner who is shopping for a phone for my wife.  Now that is or of the way you can see where I'm coming from on some of my points. 

I think hardware is very important but now a days every phone being introduced they pretty much has the same hardware and all specs. . Or so I thought. . After looking at and trying to be sold another product by a bias seller from Samsung,  I discovered that the phone has only a dual core processor?  Initially I thought this would make the performance slower because the galaxy S4 and note 2 have quad and octo core processors and in combination with the mediocre camera and a 720 mega pixel screen. .I pretty much wrote if off before Ieven tried it. ..

Now with that or if the way we can get into the good stuff! !

I think the phone is amazing and this is why Google bought Motorola.  At the time people where curious and dumbfounded on why this occurred be now it makes perfect sense.  I like Google products and my complaint is always the same... they are cheaply made and the iphone,  although is currently slacking,  is a overall better, nicer and fancier product. my experience with the nexus haven't to be sent back multiple times due to the tablet connectors gaming apart and not being tough enough for everyday use. 

Here comes Motorola. Now I thing the phone design and manufacture is now solid as the phone doesn't look cheaply made and looks low something to spend some money in.  The fact that the phone comes in multiple cokors means that it is customizable,  and andriod is big on customization but the most interesting thing and the rain you even consider this phone is the okay google now feature.

This feature is always in and listens to you all the time.  With a feature similar to google glass,  this makes the true Google experience. Okay Google now let's the user dictate commands without paying a button like ssiri and also workout tilting or touching anything. 

I believe this is revolutionary to the smart phone.

Even with the downside of the processor and the screen,  if I never pointed it out to you you would never have noticed.  I think the Moro x brings a new exclusiveness to the smart phone that users will use every day.  And that bit even going into all the other simple motion features within the phone. ..u will leave that up to another post
