And Apple has three different kinds of Apple watch so people can actually choose if they want the sport ones or the high end limited edition one. And this targets people in different social classes with different income.


 Apple introduced the new gigantic ipads and with that coming in the way, apple also introduce the keyboards and the apple pencil that people will buy together with ipads and this is another way that Apple is trying to generate more profit by introducing related products.


With all the colors and storage and plans to choose from, you can customize your Apple product. The new iPhone upgrade program attracts buyers who are loyal to Apple by letting you get a new iPhone every year and this attracts people who want to pay less for their iPhone.  This is how Apple attracts buyers – they tried to target different segments with distinct product positioning.
