Targets Apple is marketing to people who have a few

characteristics. 1) Middle/Upper income folks who are willing to pay a bit more for a better user experience. paying 500 more for a computer is not a huge deal if you have a decent income. 2) People who like to have fun with technology. No other platform offers as many entry level tools (the whole iLife bunch and more). This includes people who like to shoot a lot of digital photos or video. It's the whole digital hub concept. People are starting to buy into it. 

3) Music enthusiasts and fans ages 12-35. 4) Professionals in media and design.

APPLE RIVAL

Mac OS was being copied and running on cheap PCs.

The tech industry changes fast and apple may not be able to be keep up.

Apple relies too much on overseas companies to manufacture its products.

App Store has been a huge success but Apple may lose its control because of its extremely fast developing.

Apple does not have as much experience in the mobile industry as its competitors.
