Abstract

This study examined the influence of four independent variables; brand image, design, feature, and price on consumer behavior in deciding to buy Apple iOS smartphone. It was conducted by taking sample on Apple iOS smartphone owners in Surakarta, Indonesia. It also found that the four independent variables ie brand image, design, features, and price indicate their ability to influence consumer purchasing decision in a positive direction. Surprisingly, the researcher found out that price variable has the strongest influence on the consumer buying decision on Apple iOS smartphone.
