At the end of 2012, the atmosphere in the traditional smartphone industry was very strange.
If we say 2010, the release of iPhone 4 was the true birth year of the smartphone.
Then 2011 and 2012 should be the years when smartphones explode.
Especially in 2012, brands such as Apple, Samsung, HTC, and Motorola all released their own smartphones.
Both the Android camp and iOS are flourishing, with a large number of products for consumers to choose from.
Consumers have also gradually realized the difference between feature phones and smartphones, and there is a strong demand for replacement phones.
But at the end of 2012, after the release of iPhone 5, consumers suddenly lost their desire to replace their phones.
Everyone knows that 4G mobile phones are coming, and everyone is waiting for 4G mobile phones to be launched.
This kind of expectation suppresses consumers' desire to change their phones.
This is more like the last calm before the rainstorm.
In the global technology market, the intensive statements made by companies such as Apple and Samsung, as well as Changtian Technology's acquisition of Nokia and the establishment of Hanhai Technology, have given everyone a taste of tit-for-tat.
After Samsung issued a statement in support of Apple, TIMC also issued a statement. The content of the statement was almost the same. It still required companies to abide by business rules and stated that TYMC would not produce chips for any problematic companies. .
All fools know that whether it is Samsung or TiMC, these statements are directed at Changtian Technology.
Militarily, Xia State faced the blockade of the first island chain.
In fact, in terms of technology, Xia's technology industry is also facing the blockade of the first island chain.
This first island chain is the semiconductor blockade chain established in the Wanwan area of South Korea, Dongyang and Xia Kingdom.
Cook also breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that technology companies with which he had cooperative relationships expressed their opinions.
From now on, it seems that Changtian Technology has been severely restricted by the smartphone supply chain. Both 4G basebands and mobile phone chips have been boycotted.
It is very difficult for Hanhai Mobile to make a mobile phone with more powerful performance than Apple's iPhone 5 or even the upcoming iPhone 5S.
Because relying solely on Changtian Technology's carbon crystal memory and carbon crystal hard drive is not enough to support a complete mobile phone.
Cook is determined!
Good news, one after another.
Apple does have strong organizational capabilities.
The iPhone 5C, which uses the remaining hardware of the iPhone 5 and chip patches (newly added 4G baseband), and the iPhone 5S, which is produced using Samsung's latest 4G chip, have begun mass production.
If we follow Apple's past traditional press conferences, they will definitely be held around September 2013. After all, the release of iPhone 5 is only a few months away.
However, the sales of iPhone 5 were extremely poor, so Apple had to advance the release date of iPhone 5e5S.
Cook immediately arranged the matter.
Apple is preparing to release a new generation of iPhone on April 8, 2013, namely the iPhone 5C, which is produced by patching the remaining hardware of the iPhone 5, and the iPhone 5S, which is built with a new chip.
Cook felt he had a winning chance.
Apple has released a 4G mobile phone, which is good for consumers.
On the night of the launch, the number of reservations for the iPhone 5S exceeded one million units.
Consumers who gave up buying 5 saw perfection in 5S!
The desire to consume that had been suppressed for a long time was finally released.
In Xia Guo, many users criticized Apple on the surface, but in fact they made frantic reservations, hoping to snap up one.
This is undoubtedly Mo Dadu's irony.
As for Hanhai Mobile Phone, and the Changtian Technology behind it, there is still no movement at this moment.
The Wall Street Journal analyzed that Apple is still the king after experiencing a short winter.
Xia Kingdom, domestic.
Many big Vs on domestic Weibo have also reprinted statements from companies such as Apple, Samsung and TiMC.
Netizens are not fools.
These statements do not mention Changtian Technology a word, but they are inseparable from Changtian Technology.
The tightening blockade of the first technology chain means that the newly established Hanhai Company faces many difficulties.
Netizens are very angry!
Especially after seeing that TiMC issued relevant statements behind Apple’s back, I was even more angry.
Because in the minds of many Chinese people, TiMC is headquartered in the Bay Area of Xia State, and it is still a company of Xia State after all.
Today, as global competition becomes increasingly fierce, compatriots should help and support each other rather than tear each other down.
But no one expected that there would be no trace of compatriotism in TJD, and it would be more of adding insult to injury.
"One Sword Dominates"
"Hasn't our country already joined the WTO? Are there restrictions on us purchasing some hardware from companies in other countries?"
"The person upstairs is really too naive. The other party did not say that you were not allowed to buy. Instead, they found some excuses to say that you violated the principle of fair competition in business and just refused to sell to you."
A netizen named "Doubi Saves the World" posted a long comment:
"The most disgusting thing is TiMC. Although Xia Xin International has snatched many orders from Taijidian, mainland China's policies still treat TiMC equally, giving him the largest tax incentives and even the cheapest Artificial work has also sacrificed a lot of the country's natural environment.
It is precisely because of these generous measures that TiMC has gained a huge advantage in the competition with other semiconductor manufacturers around the world and can produce semiconductor products at a relatively cheap cost.
If it were not for Xia Guo's policies, and TiMC could produce in Wanwan Island or in developed Western countries, its semiconductor products would be at least half as expensive as they are now!
With such an expensive price, how can it possibly compete with those semiconductor companies in the West? Apart from anything else, even Samsung's own processing plants will leave TMC far behind, and it is impossible for TMC to get any orders. "
"But the performance of the tire motor is disgusting! A living white-eyed wolf!"
Doubi saves the world: "I still hope that Changtian Technology can support Hanhai Company to produce our country's own 4G mobile phones as soon as possible. We treat others as family, and others will not think so."
"I seriously agree with the original poster. I will always remember that according to historical data, traitors have always been much more ferocious than invading armies."
Netizens are discussing this matter a lot.
There are even some technology experts who directly dismantled the hardware of smartphones and pointed out the suppliers of these hardware.
Such a dismantling revealed the sinister intentions of Western technology companies such as Apple and Samsung.
Hanhai Technology has not yet produced mobile phones, and everyone has an unfounded accusation that Changtian Technology will use Jobs to obtain Apple's secrets to block Changtian Technology's hardware procurement and provide supplies to Changtian Technology. Suppliers are blamed.
Some netizens commented with emotion: "Today, with the increasingly obvious trend of globalization, the production of any product with technical content requires a global supply chain.
What companies such as Apple and Samsung are doing is forcing Changtian Technology to rely on independent hardware to produce its own smartphones. But as long as a few key components are choked by Western technology companies, Hanhai will always be an empty shell. You can never produce your own mobile phone. "
This netizen’s comment received more than 100,000 likes.
Today, when the Weibo client is not particularly popular, the fact that it has received more than 30,000 likes is enough to show that this view has been unanimously recognized by netizens.
So-called statements against Apple or other companies.
Changtian Technology did not have any reply.
In fact, Chen Xiao can be considered a senior netizen.
Although he did not reply to these comments on the Internet, he was still browsing Weibo.
Therefore, with the popularity of mobile Internet, the way Xiaguo netizens look at problems is not as simple as before.
Some netizens did very good analysis, especially the netizen who disassembled the smartphone and completely analyzed the most important hardware of the smartphone as well as the mainstream suppliers around the world.
Hanhai mobile phones have begun mass production. In the entire Hanhai mobile phone supply chain system, except for the screen, the rest including chips, motherboards, communication basebands, battery casings, etc. are all produced independently by Changtian Technology or directly in China. Purchased.
Needless to say, the chip is the Jiaolong 100 chip designed by Changtian Technology Hardware Company and manufactured by Xiaxin International. This chip is based on several years of design and adds a 4G communication baseband. The 4G communication baseband is manufactured by Warwick After production, it will be packaged at Xiaxin International and installed in the chip together.
The motherboard of mobile phones is still produced by a hardware company affiliated with Changtian Technology, and the production line comes from the previous motherboard production line of Angda.
The camera comes from Seagull and the battery comes from Galaxy Energy, which are subsidiaries of Changtian Technology.
Shells, etc. are also purchased from major supply chains in Xia State.
The only thing that Changtian Technology cannot produce by itself, nor can it be purchased from Xia Guo's industrial chain, is the screen of a mobile phone.
Here we have to admire Samsung's strong technical capabilities. From chips to batteries, to memory hard drives, and finally to screens, they are all very powerful. Its technology can reach the most advanced level in the world.
Changtian Technology will definitely not buy screens from Samsung.
If you buy a screen from Samsung, you are asking for trouble.
Not only does Samsung not sell it. Maybe they will also laugh at Changtian Technology.
Changtian Technology also has no way to purchase screens from the domestic supply system.
Even though the mobile phone screen is only so small, its technical content is actually quite high.
With the current technological level of Xia State, no company can produce it.
Changhong can’t do it, and neither can BOE.
The screen of the Hanhai mobile phone comes from the Japanese company Sharp.
There is no way around it.
The reason why Sharp is willing to cooperate with Changtian Technology is also due to its own sales pressure.
Sharp's major business is the production of screens, to be precise, the production of computer screens and TV screens.
But in the field of computer screens, with the rise of Samsung, LG, Europe's Philips, Huike, AOC and other brands in Xia Guowanwan, although Sharp has no technical problems, its price and channels do not have advantages.
In recent years, the sales of the entire computer screen have been in decline, and the market share has been dwindling. Just last year, Sharp even shut down. Several computer screen factories in Japan also laid off many workers.
In the field of TV, it is even more miserable. In Japan, Sharp not only has to face competition from Sony and Panasonic, but also in foreign countries, high-end products have to face competition from Samsung, Philips, and LG. In mid-to-low-end products, it has to compete with Xia's Changhong, Skyworth, and TCL and other companies compete.
Sharp also lost a large chunk of the TV market.
For a company to survive, it cannot survive without orders.
In order to survive, Sharp hit it off with Changtian Technology. Changtian Technology invested money in technology and has been developing mobile phone screens since 2010.
Sharp already has a deep technological accumulation in the screen field. It is easier to switch to mobile phone touch screens than Xia Guo's screen companies, and the technology is also better.
Last year, Sharp's technicians sent the finished mobile phone screen to Changtian Technology and handed it over to Chen Xiao.
After Chen Xiao asked engineers to test it, they found that Sharp's mobile phone screen was indeed inferior to the iPhone 4s mobile phone screen made by Samsung for Apple.
However, this subtle difference can only be reflected in the data. From the perspective of consumer experience, the gap is not big.
As a result, Chen Xiao decisively ordered screens from Sharp, and Sharp turned a profit thanks to Changtian Technology's technical and financial support.
Western technology companies tried every means to encircle Changtian Technology, but they missed the screen aspect.
Moreover, in the face of interests, every technology company will have its own trade-offs.
As a result, Changtian Technology’s Hanhai mobile phone has completed the last piece of the hardware puzzle.
April 2013.
The entire smartphone industry has entered an explosive period after experiencing a severe winter.
First, on April 8, Apple released the iPhone 5e5s that supports 4G at Apple headquarters.
The configuration of the iPhone 5C is a little lower than that of the iPhone 5S because it uses hardware that has not been used up by the iPhone 5, but the back cover that supports multiple colors gives users more choices.
Apple's press conference is still crowded with people and has done a good job in publicity. At the end of the conference, Cook confidently announced the prices of the two mobile phones and announced that they would be officially launched on May 1.
Then on April 27, Samsung released the Samsung Galaxy S4
The Galaxy S4 mobile phone is equipped with Exynos 5410 dual quad-core processor, which is a combination of A7+A15 (based on Cortex-A15 architecture, clocked at 1.6GHz, based on Cortex-A7 architecture, clocked at 1.2GHz.), and also has a 13-megapixel camera. The body thickness is 7.9mm, built-in Rom16/32/64GB, and RAM is 2GB.
Starting with the Galaxy S4, Samsung established its position as the dominant smartphone company. Before Chen Xiao was reborn, Samsung was the dominant player in the smartphone industry, ranking first in sales and market share in the world.
In the domestic market, Huawei also continued to test the waters of smartphones and released HUAWEI Mate.
Xiaomi, which was originally planning to release a new phone in September, hastily released the Mi 3 at the end of April.
News came one after another. Chen Xiao asked Jobs in Changzezhou: "Are you ready? Mr. Jobs."
