The final paper is a compilation of your research from weeks 2, 4, and 6(I’ve attached my 2, 4 ,6 assignments which I’ve submitted in the end, please refer). Ensure that you have made any necessary changes, based on comments you received from your instructor.  Combine these three papers in to a single cohesive paper. Make sure that each section of your overall paper includes the appropriate headings to organize the content for your reader. The body of the paper should be .  The paper should include the following sections each called out with a header. This paper should be written in third-person. The third-person point of view belongs to the person (or people) being talked about. The third-person pronouns include he, him, his, himself, she, her, hers, herself, it, its, itself, they, them, their, theirs, and themselves (Not I, we, us, our). The paper must adhere to APA guidelines including Title and Reference pages.  The Title and Reference pages do not count towards the page count requirement. There should be at least three scholarly sources listed on the reference page.  Each reference cited in the text must appear in the reference list, and each entry in the reference list must be cited in text. APA requirements for this class include: Week 2: The history of Apple dates back to 1976. The company was established by Steve Jobs in conjunction with his friends; Steve Wozniak and Ronald Wayne. Apple was originally established to develop personal computers but over the years the company has grown into a technology giant designing and selling a wide range of consumer electronics such as smartphones and personal computers. The mission of Apple is to bring the best user experience to its customers through its innovative hardware, software, and services. The company is focused on ensuring its customers get the best (Apple, 2020). The overall goal of Apple revolves around efficiency and effectiveness. The company looks forward to providing the best product and services within the shortest time possible. This is to ensure it can meet the demands of the market as they arise. Businesses need to be focused on serving their customers withing tight timeframes. Apple has many achievements and one of the most outstanding ones is the iCloud. This enables Apple’s customers to enjoy cloud storage as well as cloud computing services (Apple, 2010). It is considered an achievement because it can be remotely accessed from any Apple device regardless of the location. It has boosted data security and increased access to information References Apple. (2010). Retrieved from Week 4: Apple had been growing steadily and increasing its profits, but not anymore, as it has some vulnerability. The first challenge is navigating trading uncertainty as it faces problems with China’s trade policy. This country is the essential market for apple, but the firm has undergone some challenges in it so far. This challenge is the opposition of preview in which iPad faces and a debt-ridden firm that deals with electronic, demand the ownership of the trademark for the name saying that they are the rightful owners (Chung and Park, 2019). This claim has led to government officials pulling the tablet from stores suddenly in this country even though they were in high demand. This affects the profit of the apple company as it loses potential customers. Another challenge is the one that limits its competitiveness and is known as the Android challenge. Although the market for smartphones and tablets is growing, Apple is finding it hard to find new customers quickly as other Google’s Android platforms or increase their sales volume (Khattri and Nayak, 2020). They face a lot of competition from these platforms as they get more customers quickly than Apple. This is because the Androids tablets and smartphones are made with sever

al companies, whereas the iPad is only produced by Apple (Rittinghouse and Ransome, 2016). It is also natural for apple to lose some of its market shares as other firms rush in with the latest and new version of their own gadgets. Apple Company planned to leverage Cloud computing to overcome its challenges facilitating iCloud use in accessing the internet. They addressed the challenge by setting limitations of the software of iCloud to facilitate specific interactions when using a WIFI internet connection (Dempsey, 2019). This enhances the use of cellular data in iCloud. This increased their competitive advantage as they are able to regulate data usage in the 3G wireless plan over their competitors. This has increased profitability as they have gained a wider market and new consumers for their services by scheduling synchronization tasks (Chatterjee and AsokeNath, 2016). It uses cloud computing is storing its files that permit the users to leverage secure and highly reliable cloud features and abilities in sharing and locating information.

Cloud computing enables the customers to access data and services from servers of the organization rather than their remote gadgets (phone and computers). The paper explores cloud computing services in Apple, Inc. Apple, the technology giant, has been at the forefront of cloud computing. iCloud enables the users to provide service and software through the internet instead of the clients accessing their information from their remote devices (Privat & Warner, 2014). Apple provides 5GB of data to all customers with Apple IDs; they access content on any device. The service also enables them to synchronize photos, settings, and contacts after switching tools. iCloud provided storage to the users lowering the total costs that users used to spend on purchasing hard disks and storage devices (Privat & Warner, 2014). Another benefit of cloud computing that the company realized was increased software integration. The technology made it easy for the company to compatibility. Lastly, there is increases security of the client’s information. Cloud computing increased is the strategic end- the approach increased the competitiveness of the organization. Through the service, there has been an increase in Apple products such as iPhone and MacBook devices. Consequently, there was an increased demand for services after the launch of the technology in 2012 (Privat & Warner, 2014).  Closer competitors like Samsung do not offer cloud computing that gives Apple an upper hand. Apple obtained its objective after the launch of cloud computing. At its start in 2012, the primary aim of the services, the principal purpose was to provide a secure way that the users would manage their content. Today, an apple user only requires an Apple ID and uses any devices to manage content like photos, applications, and contacts. References Privat, M., & Warner, R. (2014).
