Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) was able to launch its iPhones last week even with all the ups and downs of criticism the company had to face the previous weeks, both its iPhone 6 and 6 Plus are larger in size with a thinner width of 7mm.

As Tim Cook predicted, Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) will and all its current phone offerings cost more than $300 and people are no longer switching to the larger iPhone 6 and 6 Plus. The new growth wave is coming from the cheaper phone pfferings available in the market. With all these upgrades analysts predict that Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) may go head to head with Samsung (KRX:005930) this Christmas regarding sales leadership of its smartphones and come out the winner.

Apple’s (NASDAQ:AAPL) smartwatch has been pricier than what others are offering in the same category but with its differentiating factor targeting the rich, its bound to make a lot of profits. The same thing happened with the iPad somewhere around 2010 thus making a category for itself in a market where nothing existed like its sort before.

Google’s (NASDAQ:GOOGL) mobile payments have been in the market for several years with Google Wallet however, it hasn’t gained much attention in the past. But the security breaches at various retailers like Target (NYSE:TGT) and Home Depot (NYSE:HD) caused the US retailers and banks to adopt a different measure of dealing with credit cards and introduced a chip and pin system for payment functionality. POS terminals will have to be adopted in order to fix the security concerns.

Now iPhone 6 is being promoted with this added feature already with Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) negotiating with MasterCard (NYSE:MA), Amex (NYSE:AXP) and Visa (NYSE:V) regarding lower fee payments on every iPhone transaction. The payments will generate a one-time only temp code validated by a fingerprint reader and this won’t give much leverage to hackers.

One perk of an iPhone is the enhanced privacy measures as the company will not record any data on these transactions, including amounts and names of who they bought from etc. This is an excellent little perk where the environment is full of surveillance and keeping track of the customer movements, Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) will be giving the user full privacy.

Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) is in the market to stay with its constant improvements and extensive ecosystem of various app makers. They create Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) applications first and Android afterwards, even though Android users are much more where numbers are concerned. This is only because of customer loyalty which Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) users profess, even though the numbers have been decreasing slightly.

Hence Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) gets a bigger chunk of market share over Android through a premium as it simply rejects selling to the cheaper market.

On Wednesday, after the new iPhone 6 and smartwatch were launched, the shares of Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) increased by 1.3%. The Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) Watch is the first extension in Apple’s (NASDAQ:AAPL) products, launched by the company’s CEO, Tim Cook.

About 6 contributors had increased the price mark on Apple’s (NASDAQ:AAPL) shares. This mark had increased by $16 up to $116, although there can be an exceptional decline in the shares.

Apple’s (NASDAQ:AAPL) new wireless payment service, called Apple Pay, was highly acclaimed by many people on Wall Street. At Tuesday’s launch, Gene Munster of Piper Jaffray (NYSE:PJC) acknowledged the service by saying that it was the star of today’s show.

The service would make use of the Visa Inc. (NYSE:V), American Express Co or Mastercard Inc. (NYSE:MA) for the payment. The users of the new iPhone (6 or 6 plus) would be able to buy food or grocery by just tapping a button!

Other android phones like Samsung and Motorola have comparable wireless services but the payment systems, for example Google Wallet, are not strong enough to cope up with these sets.

An analyst William Blair stated that Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) has made a remarkable progress by introducing the mobile payment service. This has been a displeasing issue since a long time, bothering the industry in terms of consumer ownership.

Tim Cook, the Chief Executive Officer of Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) after Steve Jobs, was much stressed to bring about something new from the company and launch phones with bigger screens to compete with Samsung’s ‘phablets’ – a phenomenon that caught on after the company brought out phones that were huge in size; almost to be considered as tablets.

A research done by IDC described that international market stocks of iPhones dropped from 13% to 11.7% for the June quarter. The sales of iPhones share a large amount in the company’ earnings.

The analysts from BMO Capital Markets stated that the Apple Pay service should increase the sales of the company’s products and bring profit to the final revenue.

Another analyst from Pacific Crest, Andy Hargreaves stated that it was expected from the growth of iPhone 6 to greatly affect the Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) stocks. Hargreaves is the only analyst who degraded the shares since May.

After the iPad, Apple’s (NASDAQ:AAPL) iWatch is the first different product launched by the company. The iWatch is fastened to the new iPhones 6; they are to be used in combination with the phones. The watch costs $349 and it performs functions like receiving calls, receiving messages, playing music and most of all, it will be a small wallet as it also has payment services.

The iWatch will be available for sale next year in the USA. People have been giving mixed comments on the watch; some appreciating its creativity while others commenting on the poor battery life.

Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) shares were increased up to $98.18 on Wednesday. The closing amount was up by 0.38% according to Nasdaq.
