A Look at Apple's iPod Business
|
Apple Inc, (nasd:AAPL)- This article focuses on Apple’s iPod business. The iPod has contributed significantly to Apple’s growth the past several years. However, iPod unit growth has been slowing, as nothing can grow forever. Apple has made some modifications to its iPod line which should help boost iPod demand. Apple announces Q2 results April 23rd, and unit sales growth as well as iPod ASP will be areas of focus.
Deceleration of iPod's sales growth is pointing to a market approaching saturation. Considering Apple has sold more than 140 million iPods, it’s not inconceivable t< />< />< />< />< />< /><>>< />< />< />< />< />< />< />< />< />< /><>< />>< />< />< /><>< />>< /><>< />>< />< /><>>< />< />< />< />< />< /><>< />>< /><>>< />< />< /><>>< />< /><><><>>< />< />< />< />< />< />< />< />><><>>< />< />< />< />< />< />><><>>< />< />< />< />< />< />< />< />< />< />< />< />< />>><>< /><>>< />< />< />< />< />< />< /><>< />>><>< />< />< />< />< />< />< />< />< />< /><>>< />< />< />< />< />><>< />><><>< />><>< />><>< />><>< />><>< />><>< />><>< />><>< />>>< />< />< />< />< />< />...
