Apple's decision could cause inconvenience, frustration, and lesser profit for Apple. Apple do not allow books, music, movies to be bought in the app store due to the rampant piracy. Though it is secure, there are pernicious effects of their decision.
I think that for the IPhone users, everyone would feel inconvenient. Without the freedom and mobility to buy movies, and books from app store, us users may feel irate and exasperated. Itunes is the largest market, but Apple still disallow such sells, thus we have to look and scourge for other sources. For example, last week when my brother told me about this movie called " The Rock", I immediately went on youtube and searched for the trailer. I thought of downloading and buying the movie. I searched the app store, and that was when I realised that Apple do not sell movies at all. Thus, I went looking for it at another online source. The fact that Itunes lacked the availability of movies, made me waste my time searching and finding. I think that if they do not vary their apps and allow the sale of movies, people like me would feel that the App store is ineffective and inconvenient.
I think that us Iphone users will feel extremely frustrated. For example, my brother used my phone the previous day, and wanted to find a song, so that we could buy and download it. The song was rather vintage and antique. He went to the app store, and found that NO music or songs were sold. My brother had been longing for this song, and he thought that the app store might have it. Hence, he felt extremely exasperated and almost threw my phone. This might raise awareness of the lack of products the " largest market" offers, and that people can get easily frustrated without entertainment they search for.
Most importantly, the Apple management would be at a loss of profit despite their wages. Itunes is a huge market, and that they earn their profit mostly from the apps people buy. From the sales they earn money. Don't you think they could earn much more when they allow the sale of movies and songs? For example, if Apple stop selling apps anymore, due to their fear of piracy, the whole phone would be bland, and nobody would buy it. There would be no demand at all for the product. With the sale of movies, the profits are deemed to increase abundantly and they can earn more. They are stopping themselves from earning a huge sum because of fear.
I think that there is inconvenience, frustration and a loss of profit, if Apple continue like this. They should risk their privacy for better gain, and profit.
