Abstract

The number of iPhone users in Indonesia has shown a consistent increase throughout 2024, reaching approximately 9.7 million by November. This upward trend reflects a growing consumer base particularly among young adults making Indonesia a relevant and timely market to study in terms of brand loyalty and customer satisfaction. Users of the iPhone are often loyal to the Apple brand and like the elegant look and dependable software of the device. The age group of 18 to 24 years old accounts for 50.5% of iPhone users in Indonesia. The population for this research consists of individuals students who have made purchases or use iPhone in Medan. Due to an unknown population size, the Lemeshow formula is used to determine the sample size, which results in 100 respondents. Data is tested for validity and reliability and analyzed using SPSS 30. The research model is tested for normality, heteroscedasticity, multicollinearity, and linearity, followed by linear regression, multiple regression, and hypothesis testing with F-Test and t-Test. The study concludes that Perceived Quality and Brand Trust have significant positive effects on both Customer Loyalty and Consumer Satisfaction for the iPhone product. While Brand Durability significantly influences Customer Satisfaction, it does not have a direct significant effect on Customer Loyalty. However, when considered together, Perceived Quality, Brand Trust, and Brand Durability collectively impact Customer Loyalty, with Consumer Satisfaction serving as a crucial mediating variable. Furthermore, the combination of all four variables Brand Trust, Perceived Quality, Brand Durability, and Consumer Satisfaction has a significant simultaneous effect on Customer Loyalty, highlighting the importance of an integrated approach to building brand strength and customer retention. / Jumlah pengguna iPhone di Indonesia telah menunjukkan peningkatan yang konsisten sepanjang tahun 2024, mencapai sekitar 9,7 juta pada bulan November. Tren peningkatan ini mencerminkan basis konsumen yang semakin berkembang, terutama di kalangan dewasa muda, menjadikan Indonesia pasar yang relevan dan tepat waktu untuk dipelajari dalam hal loyalitas merek dan kepuasan pelanggan. Pengguna iPhone sering kali setia pada merek Apple dan menyukai tampilan elegan serta perangkat lunak yang dapat diandalkan dari perangkat tersebut. Kelompok usia 18 hingga 24 tahun menyumbang 50,5% dari pengguna iPhone di Indonesia. Populasi dalam penelitian ini adalah mahasiswa yang telah membeli atau menggunakan iPhone di Medan. Karena jumlah populasi tidak diketahui secara pasti, digunakan rumus Lemeshow untuk menentukan jumlah sampel, yang menghasilkan 100 responden. Data diuji validitas dan reliabilitasnya, serta dianalisis menggunakan SPSS 30. Model penelitian diuji melalui uji normalitas, heteroskedastisitas, multikolinearitas, dan linearitas, kemudian dilanjutkan dengan regresi linier, regresi berganda, serta uji hipotesis menggunakan uji F dan uji t. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Perceived Quality dan Brand Trust berpengaruh positif signifikan terhadap Customer Loyalty dan Consumer Satisfaction pada produk iPhone. Sementara itu, Brand Durability berpengaruh signifikan terhadap Consumer Satisfaction, tetapi tidak berpengaruh secara langsung terhadap Customer Loyalty. Namun, jika dilihat secara bersama-sama, Brand Trust, Perceived Quality, dan Brand Durability berpengaruh terhadap Customer Loyalty dengan Consumer Satisfaction sebagai variabel mediasi yang penting. Selanjutnya, kombinasi dari keempat variabel tersebut—Brand Trust, Perceived Quality, Brand Durability, dan Consumer Satisfaction—memiliki pengaruh simultan yang signifikan terhadap Customer Loyalty, yang menekankan pentingnya pendekatan terpadu dalam membangun kekuatan merek dan mempertahankan pelanggan.
