Apple moves 9 places to become the world's 8th most valuable brand, Nokia slides to 14th
Share:
In the annual brand value ratings, Apple hopped the astonishing 9 places, and finished 8th, behind staple industry stalwarts like McDonalds or Coca Cola, and ahead of even Disney, which follows immediately after.
Out of the tech companies, Apple, with its current $33.5 billion in brand value, is preceded by IBM, Microsoft, Google and Intel, but it has moved before an industry behemoth like HP.
Nokia, on the other hand, saw its brand value slipping significantly in the year when it announced the boldest reorganization in its history around Microsoft's Windows Phone. Currently the title Nokia is valued at $25.07 billion, which ranks it 14th, a six spot slide in comparison with the previous year.

Oh, I know... I feasted upon the Egg McMuffins in my youth, and now, as a result of my lack of self-control many years ago, I am suffering through an Egg McMuffin famine for the remainder of my life. They taste so good, but they will kill you. Death by food...
I can't really think of a way to transfer that thought to the iPhone... oh well. Oh, well, maybe I do... I exercised self control for many years and avoided the iPhone like the plague... so maybe I will be the last person to adopt the iPhone when there is nothing else left to choose from, and I will be the last person that Siri turns against...
"Siri, open the pod-bay doors!"
"Sorry, hepresearch. I can not do that..."
Alright, I am not making sense any more. I've been checked for cancer in all sorts of places these last six months, so maybe it is finally time to check for tumors in my brain...

yes, because the most important thing as a consumer is KNOWING that you are paying more than the item is worth to make a billionaire.. richer.
you sure are a smart one gallito. :)
