Frost & Sullivan: iPhone 5 Has to Be Revolutionary for Real Success PR Newswire KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, Sept. 11, 2012 ~Frost & Sullivan Analysts see shift in smartphone market from a device driven market to an application & services driven market KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, Sept. 11, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Apple Inc. launched the original iPhone back in 2007 and redefined the very face of mobility devices. Armed with visionary innovation not only on the hardware front but also in enriching the overall user experience, it single-handedly diminished the growth of corporate giants like Research in Motion and Nokia Corp. Over the years, competing platforms such as Android and Windows Phone have caught up with the features offered on the iOS platform, and have forged ahead in certain areas such as NFC communications based Google wallet, and wireless charging from Nokia. Currently, Android dominates the global smartphone market and Samsung has overtaken Apple to become the top global smartphone vendor. With the launch of the latest iPhone, Apple intends to reverse the tide and re-emerge as the global smartphone leader. The new iPhone is expected to have a larger screen, support NFC, faster processor, better camera and a smaller dock connector, which is expected to extend to all the forthcoming iOS devices, amongst many other revolutionary features.
