The beginning of 2007 was much more lively than expected, especially the release of Love Crazy 4, which was earlier and faster than Yang Dongxu expected, and the distribution scope was larger. It was not mainly focused on the European and American markets, but came up. Just focus on China.
Originally, many people expected that even if Apple could come up with smartphone technology and its own unique smart operating system.
It has become the first completely independently developed smartphone brand after Honor. But because of the glory jewels in front, even if Apple has the technology and is the only one, it will still need a period of adaptation before it can occupy its own position in the market.
But what people didn't expect was how quickly Apple occupied the market.
It is a mobile phone brand that has obtained mobile phones from Honor both domestically and internationally, and it has just received its own Android system not long ago. Our own smartphones are still in the promotion and testing stage.
Apple has become the second largest smartphone brand in the world with lightning speed.
The speed of product distribution, the maturity of smartphone technology and user experience. It can be said that without the big brother Honor, it is slightly worse than any other younger brother in the smartphone field.
Especially the Apple system, which is its own and is not open to the public, is simply full of quality, even a little bit more powerful than Honor in this regard.
Because in addition to smartphone operating systems, Apple's systems can also be used on tablets and computers.
As for Honor mobile phones, in addition to being unique in mobile phones and smartphones, it has not yet been involved in the tablet and computer fields.
Therefore, it can be regarded as an Apple who has developed the foundation and strong muscles behind him after several defeats and wins in the arena. Glory is undoubtedly at a disadvantage in this regard.
But fortunately, the Honor mobile phone struck first, and compared with Apple's first shot, which could only win but not lose, it brought out almost all its mature technologies.
In terms of system and other functions, Honor mobile phones have several leading versions stored, and now they are still under the guidance of the big boss Yang Dongxu, so they can continue to run on the right path without making mistakes.
Therefore, the advantage of being the first to strike is still quite stable. Apple is currently the second largest player. It will take a while to become the leader, and it also requires a very suitable time.
And although it became an instant hit, Apple now has to face a serious problem. This serious problem is not the pressure from the boss of Honor mobile phones, but the problem of supply.
In order to seize the market as quickly as possible and occupy the market that has not been completely divided by Honor mobile phones before other smartphones are launched.
Not only has Apple divided the Ai Crazy 4 into two models, one is a high-end phone to see if it can shake Honor’s position as the leader in the mobile phone market.
There is also a mid- to low-end model, and the purpose of releasing this model of mobile phone is obvious. Before there are interviews with mobile phones from other smartphone brands, try to make more staking claims.
It's okay to say that it's a high-quality mobile phone. Although the sales volume is not a threat to Honor mobile phones for the time being, its reputation and experience are good, and it can be said to have established its own brand.
Although the reputation of mid-to-low-end mobile phones is good, the supply volume is undoubtedly a huge problem. After all, if you want to race in a horse race, how can you run if you don’t even have a horse under your butt?
Therefore, it can be said that Apple has recently placed orders on the market for mobile phones at almost extremely high prices to find OEMs in order to increase the production of mobile phones.
But even if Yang Dongxu was prepared for this problem, he would still have to face the problem of insufficient upgrading of the industrial chain and having to reduce the speed of shipments, not to mention Apple.
Especially after spending a lot of money to find OEMs around the world, Apple suddenly discovered that the best OEM was actually in China. This is a bit MMP.
After all, it’s okay for you to spend a lot of money to find OEMs in the West. The worst you can do is make less money, which is just a waste of money to regain market share.
What can happen later?
In addition to the Honor mobile phone on his head, there are also a group of colleagues behind him who are eager to get involved.
People who do not think long-term must worry about the short-term, so this issue of production cost and cost-effectiveness must be prepared in advance. Otherwise, it is a mid-to-low-end mobile phone, no matter how good Apple is. If someone starts a price war with you, you will still be in trouble.
What's more, Apple currently does not occupy the mid-to-high-end market and can make huge profits. Even if you want to maintain your superiority in future competitions, you still need to fight naked on the field.
The cost-effectiveness issue of OEM is undoubtedly a weapon that one must master in the process of hand-to-hand combat. Otherwise, if others have this weapon and you don’t, how can you fight this battle?
In addition, Apple executives also discovered a new problem, that is, in addition to being a huge market that must be occupied and rooted, China is also a country with the fastest development in the popularization of high-tech products.
Because compared to the United States, there are still many places using 2G signals. Can you believe that 3G mobile phones have become popular in China?
In addition to mobile phones, the rapid development and popularization of Huaxia Telecom's broadband has also further improved the use of smartphones.
After all, compared with the current high mobile phone data charges, many users are deterred from more functions of smartphones. WiFi is the best choice for ordinary users.
Therefore, whether broadband is popular or not is one of the important foundations for current users to frequently use smartphones.
Although the United States has completed the construction of the network information highway very early, the use and popularity of wireless networks is far from being as common as in China.
Not only in the United States, but also in Europe and the United States.
There is a meme on the Internet that is very suitable for explaining this phenomenon.
In later generations on the Internet, some bloggers who like to promote how far away the moon is in foreign countries, how high-quality foreigners are, and how they like to study have posted such a blog.
It is also said that on trains and subways, many people abroad are either reading newspapers or reading books to study. On the other hand, all the people in China are playing with mobile phones, and then loudly appeal, how can the country develop if this continues?
He obviously wants to lick foreign countries, but he still looks worried about the country.
What's more important is that such an article about foreign chicken soup has received likes and support from many people who don't know the truth.
It wasn't until news reports came out that the subway in the United States finally had 4G mobile phone signals that many foreigners began to play with their phones while riding in the car.
In an instant, countless licking dogs fell into silence.
There are even many people shouting that this is fake news, it must be fake news. That is the United States, the world's superpower, the United States with the world's number one economy, and the number one in science and technology.
How is it possible that even the 4G signal popularized in China has not been popularized in the subway until 2020?
But the real result was to slap the licking dog in the face.
Not only the United States, but also developed Europe, such as Germany.
And since the 4G network became available, those studious and strict Germans have also started playing with their mobile phones on the subway.
It can be said that starting from 3G, the speed of Internet popularization in China cannot be compared with other countries in the world.
As for why the overseas version of the game is updated first, and then the domestic version is updated.
This is basically a human factor and has nothing to do with infrastructure.
When it comes to infrastructure alone, China is definitely the best, and none of them includes the United States.
Therefore, under this premise, no matter what Apple's top executives say in the future, it will be unfair to Chinese customers.
But he didn't dare to say that he didn't want the Chinese market, because this market couldn't be lost. Losing it is equivalent to leaving the most powerful and largest informatization market on earth.
"Are you dumbfounded? I see you are still arrogant. From now on, if you dare to play any tricks with me when promoting Honor mobile phones in the world, I will block your OEM production line. No matter how good the brand is, it is useless to buy it if it is not good. Especially in the hands of After the game became popular, you didn’t have the guts to give it a try?”
After reading the latest Apple news and information from Zhang Yue's mobile phone, Yang Dongxu rubbed his chin with a hint of pride.
After going around in a circle, the opponent finally couldn't get into his pocket.
As long as Apple wants to build its own smartphone kingdom, China's OEM is a hurdle that it can't get around no matter what. It must join without any detours.
And in addition to OEMs who now have to pinch their noses to admit it, mobile games will also be a yoke locked around the opponent's neck.
When Apple and WeChat clashed in later generations, why did they let it go?
Or is it because there are alternatives to Apple phones, and there are many alternatives, but WeChat users cannot find alternatives?
In a country where I can travel all over the country with a mobile phone, you don’t let me scan the QR code to pay using WeChat. Even if users feel that using Apple is very cool, they will definitely choose WeChat for their own convenience.
Otherwise, if you go out to pick up a girl, you'll be flirting with her, but you won't be able to make a move right away. Then you definitely need to scan the QR code and add WeChat to chat so that we can continue the date, right?
As a result, when I opened the Apple phone, there was no WeChat...
The same is true when all users become accustomed to playing online games with their smartphones. Because of the independence of the system, Apple users can only play games with Apple users.
As a result, because Apple mobile phones were out of stock, there was no way to increase the number of users of mobile games. I couldn't even match a game friend after using my mobile phone for a long time. What do you think users will choose at that time?
Therefore, as long as Apple's OEM volume continues to rise in China, it even accounts for more than 80% of the mobile phones it produces.
Yang Dongxu has the trump card that he can use as a proton.
As for the contract issue, all the compensation for breach of contract has been settled in accordance with legal procedures.
Looking at it this way, it is true that the enemy is injured by 1,000 and the self is damaged by 800, but the actual situation is that the self-inflicted damage by 800 is true, but it is not only hurting the enemy by 1,000, but directly killing the enemy.
Because when the supply of Apple mobile phones on the market does not meet the requirements, the number of users continues to shrink.
It doesn't take long, only half a year, and it will be almost impossible for Apple to regain its market share.
Let’s take mobile games as an example.
You have been playing mobile games on Android or Honor phones for half a year. The mobile game account includes your friends, even online girlfriends, skins for various characters, krypton gold accounts that you can spend money on, etc.
With these as bundles, if you asked a user to use an iPhone again and then level up again, would you agree?
Therefore, it is a mistake to miss the trend. No matter how good you are, unless there is a revolutionary breakthrough that makes you a level higher than other mobile phones, you can have a higher-tech experience with it.
Otherwise, it is basically impossible to bring the dead back to life.
Samsung is an obvious example. Since it withdrew from China due to the incident, it has indeed become a best-seller in the world. But it is almost impossible to return to China.
