Top five reasons Apple will survive without an iPhone 5

Sometimes it’s just too easy to get caught up in the ongoing spec war currently underway in the Android community. Talks of quad-core processors and 15-megapixel cameras with 3D recording and playback sound great on paper, but at Electripcig we prefer to evaluate technology based on real-world performance. With the iPhone 5 reportedly on the back burner for late 2011 or early 2012, here’s your top five reasons Apple will survive without a refresh to the iPhone 4 this year.

Apps

Apple’s App Store was first on the scene, quickly becoming the standard for all future mobile operating systems to follow. With more than 400,000 apps curated by the Cupertino camp, the overall quality and volume is both impressive and the industry benchmark. Whether or not you agree with the high commissions, the App Store has proven to be a profitable domain and plenty of developers are making it the focus of their business.

While it is true Google enjoys more Android device activations per day, the number of devices alone does not guarantee a profitable venture. Users must be willing to spend and this my friends is where the App Store excels. As a developer, being able to reach a target audience flush with funds ready and willing to buy is leverage. Leverage which results in most apps coming to iOS first and Android second.
