Short sample Samsung Galaxy vs. Apple IPhone.
The smartphone has become a very popular choice for cell phones in our society. In particular, the iPhone is among one of the more popular choices, almost everyone has an iPhone. In the last few years there has been six generations of the iPhone: original iPhone, iPhone 3gs, iPhone 4, iPhone 4s, iPhone 5. According to the Washington post 85 million iPhones in the U.S has been sold since the iPhones launch back in 2007. (Defining the need for research). I am very interested in understand why these phones have become a popular alternative to other smartphones. I want to understand why consumers choose the iPhone over the Samsung galaxy. (Defining the problem). Ultimately my study will help Samsung improve the Galaxy. My study will be a marketing research customer stratification study.
