Apple The Benchmark Brand: MacBook Air, iPod, iPhone, iTunes & Mac Computers

I have been reporting on different products and technology for many years now and it seems Apple have done very well for themselves, they have changed from the Apple Mac Computer vs. PC days to getting their brand in many product areas. The company have come from when the Apple logo was allowed by the Beatles if they did not enter into the music business (well that all changed, remember the lawsuit) to these days being more than just Mac’s.

When I say “Apple The Benchmark Brand”, it could not be truer as many of Apple’s products and services have every product after them compared to it. Nearly all new music download services are compared to Apple iTunes, most portable music/media players are compared to the iPod Touch and other iPod products, the lightest and thinnest laptops are now getting compared to the Apple Macbook Air and the best cell phones get compared to the Apple iPhone.

You got to say “Well Done” to Apple for making all this possible, although we have also heard many bad things about these products, the Macbook Air has had its share of problems and the iPods have been known for their share. This will happen when your at the top, but what’s next for Apple and if they enter another product or service area will they set a new benchmark again?

The future is never certain but Apple are now a more established brand in more homes around the world than ever before…keeping there is the hard bit.
