Nowadays, mobile phones are a necessity in life, and it also reflects the level of development of a country's electronic information technology.
When buying a mobile phone, many people will be a little entangled, choose domestic or Apple?
So, for the key technology of mobile phones, how big is the gap between my country and the United States?
Figure 1 Showdown
From the big point of view, the mobile phone is mainly divided into the hardware part and the software part.
we will explore from these two aspects.
1. The software part
software is invisible and has two parts-various apps and operating systems.
1. app
For app design capabilities, although the United States is not weak, my country is also very good. Douyin and WeChat are not only popular at home, but also popular abroad. They are so powerful that they scare the US government. They will be banned by Trump in the US in 2020.
2. Operating system
In the United States, Apple's IOS system and Google Android system have dominated the market for a long time. In the past two years, Google also threatened to prohibit Huawei from using the Android system. Ren Zhengfei said: “It’s okay. If you don’t let it be used, let’s get one ourselves.” So Huawei’s self-developed Hongmeng system was officially launched on June 2, 2021. As of September 13, In just three months, the number of users exceeded 100 million, which is unstoppable.

2. Hardware part
The hardware part mainly includes processor, memory, storage, camera, touch panel, display, various interfaces, etc.Here we talk about the core module-the processor.
First, we must distinguish two concepts: design and manufacturing.
For example: when building a house, there must be two groups of people, one of which is indispensable.
1. Design engineers, draw house drawings;
2. Construction team, build houses according to drawings.
Similarly, to engage in a processor also requires the two processes of design and manufacture, let's talk about them one by one.
1. Design. All processor designers are designed on the basis of the British (later acquired by Japan) ARM architecture. The designed by Qualcomm in the United States and the Snapdragon 888 designed by Qualcomm in the United States are powerful. The Kirin 9000 designed by Huawei in my country is not weak, and the two are equally matched. . Last year, Nvidia in the United States also wanted to acquire ARM. We did not hesitate to vote against it.
2. Manufacturing. The Thirteen Fragrance recently launched by Apple uses the 5nm bionic processor A15. As we all know, Huawei's highest performance processor Kirin 9000 (5nm process) was discontinued in September 2020. The Taiwanese company with the ability to manufacture 7nm and 5nm processors in the world- TSMC dare not cooperate with Huawei anymore. The key equipment for manufacturing 7nm and 5nm processors is the lithography machine, which is produced by the Dutch ASML (Asmer) company. In fact, my country has also ordered a lithography machine in 2018 and paid the down payment early. Delivery was delayed indefinitely. Whether it is Taiwan’s TSMC or the Netherlands’ ASML , the fundamental reason for not cooperating with our country is that the United States, which stands behind them, is preventing our country from gaining technological advantages . Of course, the United States cannot cover the sky with one hand. The lithography machine integrates advanced technologies from all over the world. The United States is one of them, and it masters the key light source technology of the lithography machine. It is undeniable that in precision manufacturing, we are still 20 years away from the most advanced countries.

. This gap is not due to our poor ability. The key reason for is that my country started late . The development of technology itself is a gradual process. Especially basic science.
Five or sixty years ago, the United States, Germany, Japan and other countries developed their own technology in an orderly manner, and users quietly followed the technology step by step. The market was relatively calm, and manufacturers from all over the world were eating their cake quietly. .
I use wired phones, it’s okay, everyone uses wired phones;
I use big brother, it’s okay, everyone uses big brother;
I use PHS, it’s okay, everyone uses PHS ;
I use a button phone, it’s okay, everyone uses a button phone;
I use a smart phone, it’s okay, everyone uses a smart phone;
If, later,
you bought a button phone, What does it feel like to see others using an upgraded smartphone?
Since the birth of smart phones, Huawei has become more and more powerful. While using other people's technology, Huawei is also constantly developing its own core technology. In the second and third quarters of 2020, it will become the world's largest mobile phone manufacturer. The United States can't stand it anymore, and it has fought a trade war, and is stuck tightly to our weaknesses. In the early days, many people were full of enthusiasm and indignation and said: "Don't let technology be used, then start from scratch and develop our own technology. Isn't it just a few years back, very Huawei"!
Later...,
A few days ago, iPhone13 low-priced news was frequently searched,
was only one day, and the iPhone13 reservation volume exceeded one million,
Figure 4 Circulated Thirteen Incense
face the thirteen incense that is popular around,Would you still choose the button phone that retreated due to battle?

The market is cruel!
Now look at Huawei's mobile phone market, which is declining. This trade war with the United States is fierce and tragic!
