iPhone Expected To Gain Just 6% Of Phone Market By 2008

Experts are already doing their best to predict the kind of numbers that Apple will do with their highly-anticipated iPhone. Well, a new survey predicts that the iPhone won’t sell that well, particularily because of the high price.

Markitecture conducted the survey on a sample size of 1,300 people who owned their own cell phones. Markitecture found that over 77 percent of the sample were somewhat familiar with iPhone and its functions. Of those, 41 percent said that iPhone was a good product. This percentage increased with the awareness of the product, with over 83 percent of the sample, who were very familiar with iPhone, saying that iPhone was an excellent product.

However when it came to the question of buying the product, just 6 percent of the total sample said that they were going to purchase it next year. One of the major reasons for the public not opting for iPhone seems to be its high price. iPhone costs around $500-$600 a piece. Others say that the service is being offered on a different network than the one they are using.

How excited are you about the iPhone? Would you pay the high price?
