Abstract

Apple Inc. has become a one-of-a-kind pioneer in areas of innovation, design, and leading-edge technology worldwide. Devices such as iPhones and MacBooks are worldwide status symbols and testimonies to technological progress. However, in emerging economies such as India, Apple is facing a great challenge. Highly advanced and consumer-conscious cities such as Ahilyanagar pose a special challenge: striking a balance between brand magnetism and cost. This research explores the attitudes of consumers towards Apple products in the Mumbai setting, namely individual attitudes in terms of price, value, quality, and the ecosystem of the brand. Based on a systematic online survey of 87 Maharashtra citizens, the research attempts to outline the interaction between existing Apple users and the brand and to establish the reasons for the hesitation among non-users in adopting its products. The variables of interest in the middle are brand imagery, product satisfaction, price sensitivity, the role of the ecosystem, and customer loyalty.
