Bangalore: Google's smash hit deal to buy Motorola mobility for $12.5 Billion has created a fuss around analysts, critics and industry observers. The commotion is all about will this deal have an impact on Apple's business and on the mobile industry. The Apple's stock value has become a question for the future and for the other companies in mobile market.
After the announcement of Google obtaining Motorola mobility, the Apple's share value increased. On August 16th there was a downfall in Apple's share. The Wall Street and Main Street says that this deal will not be affecting Apple in anyway. The iPhone will be topping the list in mobile space.
But, there are chances for Apple to be affected by the Google's deal. The 10 reasons are listed below:
1.Motorola Smartphones had good reputation in market:
Motorola mobility was a good competitor for Apple and other mobile companies in mobile space even before the Google's announcement about the acquisition. The Motorola Android phones were of good quality and were available in affordable prices. They had good options for the customers who never wanted to own an iPhone. Now this Google- Motorola deal may lead to the enhancement of the quality and features of the mobiles which can affect the demand of iPhones in market.
2.Google is rich:
The monetary issue was a major problem for Motorola mobility. It was unable to invest money on their mobile product features, whereas Apple's investment on their iPhones always kept their competitors off shore. Google has money and if they invest on the Motorola mobility in a healthy way they can improve the devices by using the best technologies similar to Apple iPhones. So the money spurring battle is sure to take place.
