Answer 1

Apple Inc provides mainly products, most of the services are related to their main products. Apple Inc's main product is consists of iPhone, iPad, macBook, iPod, Apple watch, Apple TV. These are the main product that apple provides to their customers with alot of new versions and models.

Apple Inc has more then 50 percent of the total electronic market as their customer base. Apple Inc supply its products all over the world and their products are famous for delivering the best possible quality and performence. And that is the main drive that makes the Apple Inc best in the customers' eyes.

Apple Inc currently usinfg the DFM method where the product is manufactured by assembling all the parts which are purchased by other companies or specialy made by other companies. Apple Inc gets the parts of the final product from more then 200 suppliers, next they assemble the product, more then 300 iPhones can be assembled in a minute in the manufacturing factory. Next all the products go through a custom check and then shipped for their rispective markets. There can not be a better manufacturing method for Apple Inc.

A layout for Apple store should be compatable with displays, ecause the number of products to show is limited and low so all the product needs to e dispayed with grace and unfront. And all the display of product should be devided in product catagories with their own conter and personal handaling it.

Location of the store should be in their rispective markets, some countries have diffrent market for diffrent products, even in the ectronics, for example in India, there are diffrent markets for mobile phones and television so if Apple wants to le these two products then it has to have two saperate store. Mainly in the market area.

Apple use their own technology and softwears in their roducts that are cutomely designed by their partners on demand. That is one of the factor that sets the bar so high for competition of Apple Inc.

The Product and the softewear related to that product is customely desinged by the employees and partners od Apple Inc. In the matters of the physical body of the product it is very important that the design is unique and something fresh because Apple Inc is infamous for reeasing new products at a very high pase, and in that case customers first get drawnto the new and improved product design. Next is the softwear itself, most of the times the softwear only gets a minner update, it is the high and intemidating specs that attracts the customers, but that does not means that Apple Inc should keep the softwear low and old, and that is the reason Apple works very hard to come up with new updateds and unpgrades for their products.
