Converting just 46 more customers per store per day to highly satisfied would allow the investment to break even.

Economic factors and trends
Apple is one of the fastest growing companies that had blossomed into a well recognizable consumer name for electronic devices globally. Apple operations depend and performance significantly on global and regional economic conditions (Apple Inc., 2016). Their components are manufactured in other countries. Some of these countries include, Korea, Japan and Taiwan, but their products are assembled in China (Wright, A., 2012). Even those Apple is seen as a status symbol of financial stability for the elite and others, there are many others that built their self-esteem off of owning Apple products. Unemployment is a big key factor in the financial dealing with Apple’s products. In 2015, economists are projecting that unemployment rate will fall to a low of about 4.7% by the end of 2016 (Zumbrun, J., 2015). Their predictions were close, as of the end of October of 2016; unemployment rate in the United States was at 4.9% (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2016).
Political, Regulatory and legal factors and trends
Earlier this year, Apple wrestled with the U.S. Government over unlocking a suspected terrorist Iphone. The FBI and the U.S. Department of Justice, solicited Apple as the suspect has a code on their phone. Apple’s Iphones enables users to set up a passcode to lock out intruders. If the code is entered incorrectly in excess of ten times, then the phone will automatically delete the data on it. Apple’s fear was that by the government requesting them to unlock this one phone, that this was a privacy violation (Rash, W., 2016). These fears of Apples became the same-shared views among iphone users. Giving the government access would allow them to future access for any reason.
Societal factors and trends
A person’s family, friends and even colleagues can serve as a strong contributor to a person’s choice of mobile phone. Today’s youth are more into electronics. Teenagers have more economic clout than that of their predecessors (Grant, I.J., and Graeme R.S., 2006).
Technological factors and trends
The survival and the competitiveness of Apple Inc. is a result of its ability to innovate new technologies. Since the time of its formation, they have relentlessly developed new technologies. It started at the lowest point, but is now one of the top technology companies. The success of the company is attributable to strong and favorable internal environment, which entails such elements as the organizational structure, culture, mission and vision and also the coordination among different departments within the company (O'Grady, 2009). Apple Inc. has a culture of innovation and invention (O'Grady, 2009).

Apple is an international corporation involved in designing, developing and distributing consumer electronics, personal computers and software. It is best known for hardware like the iPhone and software like the Mac OS. While Apple has experienced consistent growth and is the second largest IT company, its performance and market share have fluctuated due to internal factors like pricing and distribution strategies, as well as external factors like competition and regulations.

It provides background on Apple and the Indian mobile market, and recommends that Apple introduce a new lower-priced product line called "iLite" to target middle-income consumers in India rather than use the iPhone brand for a more affordable device.
Targeted online marketing has endowed the iPhone with enormous brand awareness. This TrendTruth from FGI Research explores what we, as marketers and marketing researchers, can learn from Apple's success.
