As a global technology company that can make money, how terrifying is the money-making ability of Apple ? According to data provided by the research institute, Apple made more than US$2,800 per second in the first half of 2022, which is about 21,000 yuan, which is equivalent to 1.8 billion yuan a day!

is also why Apple is known as the "money printing machine" in the technology industry. All of this is certainly due to Apple's perfect and huge industrial ecosystem, but it is also inseparable from the "operational curtain" of Apple CEO O Tim Cook . He can always become a good way to create profits for Apple.

For example, Cook 's decision to "buy a mobile phone without giving a charger" has been the "first time" since the birth of smartphones. Anyone with discerning eyes can see that this is cutting consumers' "leeks", because this alone makes Apple earn tens of billions of dollars more each year, but Apple is called "environmental protection".

As the saying goes, "the store bullies customers", it seems that the only mobile phone manufacturer that dares to be so willful and can force users to pay the bill well seems to be Apple. Compared with

, the decision to unify the Type-C charging interface in each region is obviously the true environmental protection. However, Apple has always been reluctant to fulfill this and claims it is killing Ligting's innovation.

You should know that Android flagships are now almost all Type-C charging interfaces, and have reached the technical level of 120W fast charging, but Apple's Ligting interface is still hovering between 20W-30W. The difference between the two in transmission efficiency, charging speed and other aspects is clear at a glance. How can Apple's "suffering innovation" theory come from?

The fundamental reason is that the Ligting charging interface is exclusive to Apple, and it forms an industrial chain of tens of billions of dollars with Apple's headphones, mobile phone stands and other peripheral accessories. This is the main reason why Apple would rather be fined than follow the regulations of the unified charging interface.

However, Apple is no longer allowed now. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of my country and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China and the EU have issued an "ultimatum" to Apple. If it is not changed, it will not be entered into the local market.

You should know that the Chinese market and the European market are Apple's main sources of revenue. If the sale is banned by these two regions, it will basically be over, and Apple is likely to dare not be "stubborn" anymore.

Sure enough, on October 18, Apple officially announced that it would convert all iPad products from Ligtning interface to USB-C interface.

I thought this was the end of the story: Apple compromised, and consumers were all happy. But what I never expected was that Cook actually cut the "leeks" into new tricks.

According to many netizens, in Apple's latest generation iPad series, although the charging interface has been changed to USB-C, the charging pen and other accessories that can be equipped with it still have to use the Lintning interface to charge. In order to meet the "needs" of users, Apple has "understandably" launched a converter worth 67 yuan.

I have to say that Cook's operation is simply amazing. After Apple replaced the USB-C interface, many people thought it would face a considerable wave of losses, but now it has become a new revenue channel. But this "eating appearance" is really ugly, it is just a fool to fool consumers.

Perhaps many netizens will ask why Apple is so "raceful". Can the United States disable , Huawei , and we can't disable Apple?

There are two reasons. First of all, Apple has a closed-loop ecosystem of self-developed iOS systems and A-series chips. At this stage, except for Huawei, other mobile phone manufacturers have not yet reached this level, but Huawei is now trapped by chip supply and cannot return to the 5G track.

Moreover, Apple still has hundreds of millions of Apple fans in the Chinese market. No matter what decision Apple makes, they will praise it. This "spoiling" undoubtedly makes Apple "confidenceless".

In addition, Apple has a huge supply chain. Currently, there are at least 200 Chinese suppliers that are highly bound to the "fruit chain", and the number of jobs covered is more than 5 million. If Apple is banned rashly, these domestic suppliers may face a "demonstration".

From the experience of Overlight , you can see how much impact Apple has on domestic suppliers. Due to the sudden "abandonment" by Apple, Ofilm's net profit plummeted by more than 90% in just one month, and finally it was only after the capital restructuring that it barely cut off its arm.

Therefore, for the central media, the domestic market should also reflect: our companies should diversify their layout and alleviate "Apple dependence".

It is precisely because of too much dependence on Apple orders that domestic suppliers and the domestic consumer market are in a passive situation. There may be only one solution, that is, increase R&D investment, master more core technologies, and promote the rise of domestic brands and domestic supply chains.

This will not only prevent domestic manufacturers from being restricted by Apple, but I believe that many users will also consciously take the domestic camp. By then, Apple may no longer be willful.
