Apple As the pioneer of the smartphone field and the most valuable technology company in the world, it basically contracted the "September" hot spots in the past decade, and this year is no exception. But unlike in the past, this year's hot spots are not what Apple wants to see. is basically the "negative" .
On September 8, Apple released the "major" high-end flagship smartphone iPhone 14 series this year, and it will be officially launched on September 16. During the pre-sale period, the pre-order volume of the iPhone 14 series exceeded expectations, and Apple urgently added stockings, but unexpectedly, the high-profile , the iPhone 14 series, broke the on the day of its first sale, and even a scalper lost money and sold it, setting the worst record of iPhone's value preservation in history.
In fact, shortly after the release of iPhone 14, it was revealed that many new features such as Lingdong Island that were regarded as "main" by Apple, copied Android phones, and Jobs' 's daughter also publicly mocked the iPhone 14 on social platforms for having no new ideas.
What made Cook unexpected was that the famous economist Ren Zeping criticized Apple six times within 9 days, first saying that iPhone 14 used "pseudo-innovation" functions such as Lingdong Island to fool consumers. has become a company that relies on monopoly, government protection, and old capital, marking that Apple will decline from prosperity to decline .
On September 28, Ren Zeping once again criticized Apple. said that the high-end pro version of the iPhone is a special phone to cut "high-end" leeks, and called on domestic "Apple fans" not to worship Apple without any brainless admiration for Apple and not to be the "high-end" leeks that others ridiculed.
It has to be mentioned that in these six blog posts that bombarded Apple, Ren Zeping mentioned Huawei many times and gave very high affirmation. "The experience is great, several streets ahead of Apple" , and made it clear that Apple's ability to have such a high market share has a lot to do with Huawei's sanctions.
Indeed, as Ren Zeping said, in the field of high-end smartphones, Huawei's strength is not only not weaker than Apple, but has even achieved a leading position in some fields. If the chip was not stuck, Apple would not have been able to do better than Huawei and Huawei Mate 50's strength, which shows this very well.
According to the latest data released by third-party market research institutions, the sales of the iPhone 14 series in the first three days fell 11% year-on-year compared with the iPhone 13 series. That is to say, iPhone 14 sold 120,000 units less than . The weakness of the
iPhone 14 series, Ren Zeping's bombardment, and the disapproval of industry insiders, Cook was very hurt and had to give up the plan to add stocks , and converted some of the production lines of iPhone 14 to produce iPhone 14 Pro model .
It is worth mentioning that due to negative news on iPhone 14 and factors such as the global economic environment, Apple's stock price suffered a Waterloo. Apple's stock price opened sharply on Wednesday local time, with a drop of more than 3.29% . The failure of
iPhone 14 once again reminds us that if companies want to become bigger and stronger and maintain their lasting popularity, they must pay attention to scientific research, master cutting-edge technologies, and have the right to speak in the industry.With so many mobile phone manufacturers in China, who can be regarded as a real opponent by Apple except Huawei? I'm afraid there is no one, without core technology, that determines their industry height!
But it is undeniable that domestic mobile phone manufacturers such as Xiaomi have realized the importance of R&D. has begun to continuously increase investment in scientific research. Although the efforts are not enough, it has been much better than before . I hope that domestic mobile phone manufacturers can continue to maintain and strive to become the next company to carry the banner of domestic mobile phone brands, and make positive and effective contributions to the development of my country's science and technology industry.
