Android OEMs are increasingly focusing on bigger screens added with specialized features. Read more!
Smartphone screen sizes have inflated beyond anticipation. While many thought that the iPhone with a 3.5 inch screen is too big, the current market trend is continually shifting towards churning out bigger screen phones at an unprecedented pace. iPhone app development is already feeling the heat as the number count of android app developers are swelling at an alarming rate. Although iPhone app development still remains as the most valuable app development category, the Microsoft vs. Apple story of the 80s will not be pleasant for Apple again.
What is the driving factor behind bigger screens that are uncomfortable to hold and look ridiculous when making calls? And what are the implications of this trend on Apple?
The brag factor-
Android app developers have sensed it early and it’s a truth that bigger screens have been associated with the ego factor of the consumer behavior. At first, the ease and satisfaction of using internet on big screen was highlighted by Android OEMs. Samsung was the first big screen evangelist that shifted the market dynamics and cited the advantages of a mobile device with bigger screen. The market could have moved to rethinking the UI. Infact MS did that but the arrival was late. As a result many Android OEMs moved the Samsung way and started offering exclusive features bundled with even bigger screens. Infact other OEMs have made the big screen internet experience a stale story now. Companies are working towards upping the ego factor of the consumers and hence we have waterproof phones and Ultra pixel cameras bundled with 5 inch screens now.Infact Sony is coming with a 6 inch phablet which is rumored to be studded with a 20mpgx Carl Zeiss cam and Sony’s S-Master digital amplifier powered Walkman. OEMs and Android app developers are also leveraging on the ongoing trend and cashing in more and more dollars.
Apple can fuel the brag factor with its brand name-
Apple has been in midst of a dilemma. A trade-off between brand and market capitalization could not be dodged and Apple has chosen the later. Apple also understands the brag factor of a bigger screen and is revamping the screen size of the next iPhone while creating a line of cheap iPhones as well. Obviously the penetration level will make iPhone app development valuable and check the expansion of Android devices to a great extent.
Apple is not going to create a 6 incher anytime soon but in case of an iPhone, the brand value will surely fuel the ego of many buyers who have no option from Apple but settle for a midrange android phone.
With massive disruption looking gloomy in the smartphone market again; the screen size trend is playing a critical role in influencing the buyer’s decision.
