Apple’s world domination only started with the iPhone… Next: iMac
Steve Jobs has a master plan for Apple: world domination. The iPhone was the beginning of the end for the PC and Windows. Am I jumping the gun here?
I don’t think so.
As I’ve already stated, the iPhone could be the first step in Steve Jobs’ master plan to start turning the tables on Microsoft’s lion’s share of the market. His next step: Release the Kraken! er, I mean the new iMac. (a solid Clash of the Titans reference never hurt anyone)
It even matches the iPhone, if not surpasses it, with its stunning look and design. It’s a brushed metal flat screen monitor with a computer in it. A fast computer. I’m not going to geek out here, but take my word for it… you’re not going to find anything like it out of the box.
So what does all this have to do with world domination? Well, let’s take a step back here. Back on June 29th, the mighty iPhone was released. Sales? One million plus in about a week. Is this just a coincidence that such a slick looking, powerful Mac comes out less than two months later? Probably not. That’s just about enough time to let those PC users who bought an iPhone get acquainted with the easy to use Mac operating system that just so happened to be included with the iPhone. Sounds like just the right time to strike while the iron’s hot.
Is it also coincidental that I found this link on the Apple website? It may have already been there, but if it has I haven’t seen it.
I’m not going to discount the fact that students will be heading back to school, that’s always a good time for a new iMac release. It’s really just great timing all around putting the two factors together. Actually, there’s a third event that will be happening in less than another two months (see a trend here?): the release of Leopard, the revolutionary operating system that will make Vista look like your old TRS-80.
Steve Jobs is well on his way to world domination. If we want to go even farther back, the iPod sure can be argued as the real beginning to Apple’s run, but I think the recent chain of events starting with the iPhone could be the tipping point. Only time will tell.
