 Recommendations

Continue to seek other OLED suppliers similar to what weve done

with LG and invest in R&D to start developing our own screens

Decrease price of iPhone 8 and increase price of iPhone X

Continue with current iPhone 8 and X sales plan

 Increase the
Screen Supply

We should invest $10.5 billion from our

stockpile of cash creating our own factory that
produces OLED screens.
 Current Lack of
Supply

Apples sole reliance on Samsung also

means that any slowdown in production
of the displays could affect iPhone
availability.
 Staying True to Our Culture

This recommendation will assist in

ensuring that we stay true to our company
culture and provide our teams with the
resources to succeed.

Facing a dilemma

I am not buying this iPhone 8, it has a

hefty price tag with no or less innovation. I
will be waiting for the iPhone X.
 Keep pushing the
price gap

There hasnt been any customer

pushback on the iPhone, and until there
is, Apple should keep testing limits of
how much people want to spend.
 Continue on Our
Current Plan

Apples short-term pain sets stock

up for long-term gain.
