Data Points
• Only 3% of U.S. consumers express a strong interest
in purchasing the iPhone at a $499.99 price point and
two-year contract.
• The majority of consumers still consider network and
voice quality as the most important factors for their
choice of mobile carriers, and only a small percentage
consider handset design as important.
• AT&T has extensive reach with its current customers – it now serves more than
62 million customers, and its customer base has grown at least 40% since the end
of 2004.
• Apple has sold more than two billion songs since iTunes was launched in 2003,
and shipments of iPods have increased from 4.4 million in 2004 to 39.4 million
units in 2006.
• 40% of all U.S. households have a portable digital music player (such as an iPod).
• 17% of U.S. Internet households revealed an interest in playing digital music files
on a new mobile device.
• Consumers on average are willing to pay only $99 for a regular phone and $199
for a smart phone with a two-year contract.
• 22% of U.S. Internet households are clearly in favor of a mobile device with the
type of converged functionality embodied by the iPhone. Significantly, 41% of
portable music player owners prefer a stand-alone portable device, and only 26%
desire a multifunction device.
• Cost and performance are key reasons why consumers prefer stand-alone devices
— 49% believe multifunction devices would be expensive, and roughly one-third
believe it would suffer from performance issues, including limited battery life.
• Only 10% of mobile subscribers regard “exclusive handsets” as a highly
important factor in their selection of a mobile carrier (45% said it was not
important), while network coverage (72%) and voice quality (68%) were much
more significant factors for consumers.
A Parks Associates White Paper 1

1.0 The Introduction

Officially introduced to the public on January 9, 20071, the Apple® Inc. iPhone™ is the
definition of a convergence device. It has the ability to play back music and videos on its
3.5” display, a unique ability for video/image displays to automatically flip between
landscape and portrait views when the device is rotated, special software that makes
finger-based scrolling easier, a Safari™ Web browser that shows Web sites in their
standard format, and more options for users to access and listen to voice mail.
The iPhone is exclusive to AT&T customers (formerly Cingular Wireless), which may be
a boon for the wireless carrier. The “must-have” nature of the phone will draw a certain
group of customers to AT&T and away from other wireless carriers in the U.S. (assuming
that they can extricate themselves from their current contracts). However, the million-
dollar question is exactly how many wireless subscribers will switch carriers for the
iPhone. Our consumer survey Mobile Entertainment Platforms & Services (Second
Edition) shows the majority of consumers still consider network and voice quality as the
most important factors for their choice of mobile carriers and only a small percentage
consider handset design as important. Nonetheless, AT&T has extensive reach with its
current customers – it now serves more than 62 million customers2, and its customer base
has grown at least 40% since the end of 2004 (when Cingular Wireless operated the
service). Given AT&T’s large customer base, an iPhone introduction could attract
millions of users (Figure 1).

2.0 Stronger Links between Content and Mobile

Devices
The Apple iPhone is emerging on the scene at a time when end-user digital lifestyle
products are defined by their functionality and the type of experiences they offer. In other
words, the adage “no man is an island” is an appropriate guide for today’s product,
service, and application companies. Customers won’t make purchase and subscription
decisions based solely on product design or price point. They will also factor in an item’s
integration capabilities, particularly how well it integrates with a service, value-added
feature, or application that comes from an access service, such as broadband, television,
and/or communication. Further, the sale of products that may not at first appear to
directly correlate to an access service (e.g., a high-end home theater system) are now
more strongly linked to value-added services including installation, extended warranties,
monitoring, and troubleshooting. So, products that were originally sold as stand-alone
and single-purpose are being acquired via a “digital lifestyles value chain” in which third-
party providers of value-added services are more strongly linked to the end-user product
itself.

This scenario has certainly been true in the case of Apple’s iPod® portable digital music
player, which is tightly integrated with the iTunes® Music Store. Apple’s recent success
with the sale of its portable music and multimedia players is an interesting reversal on the
old sales strategy of giving away the “razor” to sell the “blades.” According to its fourth-
quarter earnings report, Apple has sold more than two billion songs since the service was
launched in 2003, and as Figure 2 indicates, device sales have skyrocketed since then.
However, in this case, the truly profitable component has been the device itself (the
“razor”) and not necessarily the digital music (the “blades”). At any rate, the iPod’s
success has inspired several other companies to attach services to devices, as in the case
of the Microsoft’s Xbox and Xbox Live! bundle.

The mobile phone industry also has developed this symbiotic relationship between the
service and the handset, with significant success. Enabling the seamless transfer of a
ringtone from the mobile operator’s network to a mobile phone handset is a simple yet
powerful example of this type of service-to-platform convergence. Facilitating this link
between content and the platform allowed mobile operators who deployed this service
(among other additional features) to maintain a relatively steady average revenue per
customer, despite the declining prices for pure voice services (Figure 3). This sort of

tightly integrated data features such as text and Web access is emblematic of how future
services – in combination with products – will be deployed.

Certainly mobile communications and portable digital music have struck a strong chord
with consumers, as evidenced by recent sales trends. Whereas consumer interest in a new
device often does not materialize into an actual purchase, both mobile phones and digital
music players have defied this widely accepted dictum on consumer purchase behavior.
Many consumers bought a new mobile phone and portable digital music player in 2006
without having plans to do so (Figure 4). Could this trend offer a new opportunity in
2007 to entice consumers looking for both a mobile communications and multimedia
device, all with the legendary Apple ease-of-use and unique functionality?

3.0 The Consumer Perspective: The Apple iPhone

With so much hype surrounding the launch of the iPhone, and many predictions
abounding about its potential success3, we felt it important to provide our own
commentary on the iPhone’s strengths and weaknesses vis-à-vis true consumer sentiment.
We had an appropriate vehicle with which to measure consumer interest with the study
Mobile Entertainment Platforms & Services (Second Edition). Parks Associates
conducted this survey of 2,000 U.S. Internet users ages 13 and older between April 30
and May 10, 2007. Its primary goal is to better understand consumer perspectives on
mobile phones, portable gaming devices, portable music players, portable multimedia
players, and imaging devices and applications. It further examines consumer desires for
new convergent devices and services, identifying both growth opportunities and
inhibitors to spending.

Apple CEO Steve Jobs noted at the iPhone release that the company’s goal would be to sell ten million
units by the end of 2008. Considering that Apple has an exclusive contract with AT&T in the U.S., close
to 14% of AT&T wireless subscribers would have to purchase an iPhone to reach that goal, assuming 69
million AT&T wireless subscribers by year-end 2008.

3.1 What Mobile Features are Important?

With U.S. household penetration of portable digital music players (such as iPods) sitting
at nearly 40% of all U.S. households (Figure 5), it’s little surprising to find that the
ability for a mobile device to play digital music files is the top entertainment feature that
consumers desire on a mobile phone (see Figure 7). Additionally, downloading video
from the Internet is becoming more commonplace, particularly for playback on portable
multimedia players such as an iPod with video capabilities (Figure 6).

3.2 Consumer Familiarity with the iPhone

Apple launched television advertisements for the iPhone at the beginning of June 2007.
The timeframe of our survey (late April and early May) preceded this mass-marketing
campaign, so only 9% of consumers indicated a high familiarity with the device, well
behind the Blackberry and just ahead of Windows mobile phones (Figure 8).

3.3 Interest in the iPhone at Price Points

The high price point for the iPhone (beginning at $499.99) will be a significant deterrent
to likely iPhone buyers. Consumers on average are willing to pay only $99 for a regular
phone and $199 for a smart phone with a two-year contract. Price points at $499.99 and
above are keeping interest in the iPhone very low (Figure 9). The iPhone will shift a few
paradigms about consumers and price points if it becomes a success.

3.4 Potential Inhibitors

Although “convergence” as a buzz phrase gets used quite often in the digital lifestyles
arena, it’s worth questioning whether consumers truly gravitate toward all-in-one devices.
This question is critical regarding the iPhone in particular, given its multiple uses –
multimedia player, music device, phone, Web access devices, etc. Mobile Entertainment
Platforms & Services (Second Edition) finds that most consumers are either indifferent
about multipurpose mobile devices or simply prefer a single device for one type of
function. Only 22% of respondents are clearly in favor of a mobile device with the type
of converged functionality embodied by the iPhone. Forty-one percent of portable music
player owners prefer a stand-alone portable device, compared with 26% who prefer a
multifunction device.

Figure 10 Consumers and Mobile Convergence

Cost and performance are key reasons why consumers prefer stand-alone devices. Forty-
nine percent believe multifunction devices would be overly expensive; roughly one-third
believe these devices would suffer from performance issues, including limited battery
life. Both cost and battery life remain questions with the Apple iPhone. Apple has
addressed the battery issue recently, noting that it should be improved over the earlier
estimates that were initially provided with its announcement. The company notes that the
iPhone will be capable of eight hours of talk time, six hours of Internet use, seven hours
of video playback, or 24 hours of audio playback.4 These new numbers compare with five
hours for talk, Internet, and video, and 16 hours for audio playback that the company
originally referenced in January 2007.

3.5 Will AT&T Get Leverage with Exclusivity?

As previously mentioned, access to an exclusive handset is not the most important
consideration for consumers to choose one mobile carrier versus another. Mobile
Entertainment: Platforms and Services (Second Edition) shows that only 10% of mobile
subscribers regard “exclusive handsets” as a highly important factor in their selection of a
mobile carrier (45% said it was not important). Factors such as network coverage (72%)
and voice quality (68%) were much more relevant for consumers. See Figure 12 for
specific details.

4.0 Parks’ Analyst Comments

The Parks Associates’ analysts have compiled their thoughts on the viability of the
iPhone as a major player in the consumer electronics space in 2007 and beyond. Below
are specific references to both the strengths and weaknesses of the mobile handset.
4.1 Network and Speed

In the U.S., only AT&T users will be able to get an iPhone, and there are currently about
62 million AT&T subs. Even if AT&T grows its base significantly because of the iPhone,
the forecasted adoption is still a very tall order.
The iPhone will be on the slow EDGE network, which offers essentially dial-up speed.
Apple is positioning the iPhone as a device with lots of cool Internet functions, which are
likely to require lots of bandwidth. However, AT&T cannot offer a national mobile
broadband network to support those “Internet experiences.” Early adopter won’t be too
pleased to find they can drive their new Porsche only on a bumpy road with a lot of
potholes.

For road warriors, many of them have made handset and service provider decisions based
on the availability of 3G service. In addition, the IT departments in large companies are
heavily involved in service provider and handset selections. They may not be too pleased
to pay a premium for a handset that does not integrate well with their e-mail and other IT
systems.
- Yuanzhe (Michael) Cai, Director of Broadband & Gaming
4.2 The Business Play?

The iPhone may be an awkward market play. Business users who are likely to shell out
$500 for a phone are not necessarily seeking a device that stresses entertainment and
multimedia applications first and foremost. The bread-and-butter business applications
(e-mail, Web access, etc.) are more important. Here the question is whether the iPhone
will be “just as good as” a Blackberry but cooler. I don’t think it will be as functional as a
Blackberry. On the other hand, the younger subscribers who are crazy for multimedia
applications cannot always afford a $500 phone. Mom and Dad will only pay so much.
- John Barrett, Director of Research
4.3 Does this Help AT&T?

For AT&T, so far it looks like a smart move. There seems to be little downside to
including the iPhone in its lineup of phones, but the devil will be in the undisclosed
details.
4.4 Downsides to Apple

For Apple, there are some potential downsides. If the iPhone turns out to be another
AppleTV, there will be financial repercussions, not to mention an embarrassing high-
profile failure. Even a moderate market success could have little benefit. If iPhone
purchases come at the expense of iPods, Apple will just be delivering users to AT&T.
Along these lines, it is hard for me to see someone that wouldn’t buy a $250 iPod buying
a $500 iPhone. I think this kind of buyer will be few and far between.
4.5 Application Developers

One potential hurdle for the iPhone is that third-party app developers weren’t pleased that
the iPhone will only support Web-based applications from outside developers. Without
an SDK, third-party developers may be limited in the types of applications they can
develop.
- Yuanzhe (Michael) Cai, Director of Broadband & Gaming

4.6 Throwing Down the Gauntlet on “Three Screens”

The iPhone certainly solidifies Apple’s “three-screen” strategy, where content and
applications can be accessed and enjoyed on the mobile platform as well as the PC and
the TV (iTunes made available via the Apple TV, for example). In this sense, Apple
could be laying the groundwork for a more highly integrated service that seamlessly
crosses both mobile and fixed-line capabilities.
- Kurt Scherf, Vice President & Principal Analyst
4.7 Appealing to Technophiles

If the iPhone does not appeal to the road warrior with the large budget for this device,
then I think Apple will have to rely on the cool factor to appeal to technophiles. If AT&T
will provide hefty subsidies to lower the price, then this offer begins to resonate ... if not,
$500 may be very risky.
Looking at the iPod, one has to remember that while the device is cool, what really made
it was the accompanying iTunes commerce experience. Does the iPhone have anything
like this to give it a “transactional advantage”?
Perhaps Apple’s key to success is to win the technophiles who will pay a premium price
and so evangelize their love for the product that it becomes desirable to replace one’s
corporate Blackberry with an iPhone, which may at first be considered an expensive teen
toy.
