Two years ago, Huawei was also the biggest competitor of Apple in the high-end mobile phone market. However, as the US revised the rules, TSMC terminated its foundry of HiSilicon Kirin chips. Due to the lack of chips, Huawei's high-end mobile phone business began to plummet. Since then, Apple has become the dominant position in my country's smartphone market.
At Apple's annual conference at the end of 2021, Cook looked at its dazzling performance report and laughed at it that the Chinese market is the least worried about the sales of iPhone phones worldwide. The situation of
is a huge contrast with Huawei's full ban on sales by the United States. What's more annoying is that while making money in the Chinese market, Apple has also been promoting the plan to move the industrial chain out. It once kicked more than 30 domestic suppliers out of the fruit chain in one fell swoop, and Ofiluen almost went bankrupt because of this. In response, the central media has issued a call for our companies to diversify their layout and alleviate "Apple dependence".
Faced with this situation, many netizens expressed their confusion about why the United States can ban Huawei, but we do not ban Apple, and Apple has also "putting harm" on domestic suppliers.
The answer is very simple. Most iPhone phones are "Made in China". There are still more than 200 domestic suppliers in the fruit chain, involving more than 5 million jobs. If we follow the United States, we will not only lose the style of a great power, but will also bring survival crises to many domestic suppliers, which is obviously not a wise move.
In comparison, what we should do more is to learn from our strengths and weaknesses, enhance the influence of domestic brands, and win over Apple through real strength, so that hundreds of millions of "Apple fans" will willingly take the domestic camp. By then, there will be no so-called "Apple dependence" and even if it is not banned, it will be difficult to "constrain" us again.
Everyone knows that iPhone series mobile phones have always been electronic consumer products with their own traffic in the Chinese market. Some people buy Apple phones to demonstrate their status, while most people are aiming at the user experience brought by A-series chips, IOS systems and various innovative technologies.
However, it has been a while since the release of Apple's iPhone 14 series, but what is abnormal is that as time ferments, what is waiting for iPhone 14 is no longer applause, but instead endless ridicule, saying that it is "no novelty", " price discrimination against ", and "functional discrimination".
The so-called "no novelty" is that iPhone phones use the remaining technology of Android in terms of camera, battery life, etc., while "price discrimination" means that iPhone phones are often more expensive to sell to Chinese users than foreign users, while "function discrimination" refers to the satellite communication function equipped by the iPhone 14 series this time. Users in Europe and the United States can use it normally, but are not open to Chinese users.
Just recently, it was reported that Apple cut 6 million orders on iPhone 14 in one fell swoop! Foxconn was forced to replace all the production lines of iPhone 14 with other models such as iPhone 14 Pro.
You should know that this situation is the first time that it has occurred in Apple . What’s even more outrageous is that the research agency SellCell recently counted a data based on the average purchase value of more than 40 iPhone 14 buyers: the depreciation rate of iPhone 14 is more than twice that of the previous generation!
There are even many digital bloggers who say that the iPhone 14 will become the worst-selling model in history. Obviously, Apple's "fig leaf" has completely fallen this time.
So the question is, the iPhone 14 series still has the ecosystem created by A-series chips and IOS systems. Why is the "star effect" that is unfavorable suddenly not working in the Chinese market?
This may be related to Apple's "toothpaste-squeezing" upgrade. But the more important reason is that the appeal of the central media has worked: whether it is a domestic supplier or a domestic mobile phone manufacturer, it not only pays special attention to the polishing of core technologies, but also pays attention to cooperation, which has enabled domestic mobile phones to continue to rise.
Today's domestic mid-to-high-end flagship can be said to be a random choice. Whether it is accessories or parameters, it can almost reach the top ranks in the industry, and it is also affordable and cheap. In contrast, domestic users will inevitably have a huge psychological gap with Apple, so that their indulgence and tolerance for iPhones have become increasingly lower and lower.
For example, the Huawei Mate 50 series Hongmeng mobile phone released at the same time as Apple. In addition to the Qualcomm chip that has no choice, almost all other technologies and accessories are domestically produced. The 2K screen was jointly developed with BOE , and Kunlun Glass comes from a Chongqing company invested in Hubble Investment Company , as well as Huawei's self-developed satellite communications and imaging XMAGE technology functions, etc.
is precisely because of this, even if the Mate 50 series does not have 5G functions, it is still very popular, and the market calls have even surpassed Apple. It is completely predictable that under the leadership of outstanding domestic manufacturers such as Huawei, the domestic supply chain will also be improved, thereby further reducing its dependence on Apple.
It is reported that Huawei will return to the 5G track with Kirin chip in 2023. By then, what kind of good show will the apple without a "fig leaf" be waiting for it?
