【 Mobile China 】 iPhone is a barometer of the stock price of Apple , and almost half of Apple's revenue comes from iPhone business. At present, at least some models of the newly released iPhone 14 series have met or even exceeded Apple's expectations, which is to a certain extent due to Apple's small innovation in interactive design on the new phone.

Apple's small action can always trigger a carnival for Apple fans, thereby affecting the stock market.
iPhone 14: The more you spray, the more you buy, the more you become, the more you become, the more you buy, the more you become, the
iPhone 14 series was released, Apple's stock price almost replicated the stock market curve after the previous generations of iPhones were released. First, the new products attracted complaints and even doubts from the outside world, but the after-sales market response was strong, and Apple's stock price rose directly. Taking the day of the new iPhone release as the node, Apple's stock price overall showed a downward trend for a period before September 16; after September 16, Apple's stock price overall steadily rose. As of the close of trading on September 19, Eastern Time, the company's stock price had reached $154.480, and its total market value rebounded to $2.48 trillion.
iPhone 14 After the release of the market, Apple's stock price trend
Not to mention the product itself, just from the market performance alone, Apple's iPhones have been extremely successful products in all generations. Even the first-generation iPhone SE, which was slightly inferior, sold more than 30 million units. If you observe the popularity of the iPhone 14 series on domestic and international platforms, this year's new iPhone may still be unstoppable.
Regarding iPhone, there is a phenomenon in the technology circle that seems abnormal, that is, every time Apple launch conferences, new products will be criticized. But in the market, Apple's products are becoming more and more popular.
However, the sales of iPhone 14 may not be as good as the iPhone 13 series, which can be seen from the delivery time.
Appleinsider made a report not long ago, which stated that the average delivery time of the iPhone 14 standard model is 4 days, 14 Plus is 21 days, 14 Pro is 35 days, and 14 Pro Max is 41 days. The average delivery time of iPhone 13 is 20 days, 13 mini is 14 days, 13 Pro is 30 days, and 13 Pro Max is 40 days.
iPhone 14 series
It is obvious that the average delivery time of the iPhone 14 series is much lower than that of the 13 series, only about one-quarter of the latter. Without considering factors such as stocking, the demand for the iPhone 14 series is lower than that of the 13 series. However, the 14 series has just been released shortly, and the market performance remains to be seen. Once major festivals or shopping festivals such as National Day and Double 11 are entered, the demand for this machine should be stimulated.
This time Apple is making the wooden barrel "slant". The iPhone 14 standard version and Plus model may be the sales shortcomings of the new iPhone. But as compensation, a large number of Apple fans turned their attention to the 14 Pro series.
However, the outside world did not expect that Apple would make this wooden barrel so tilted, pressing the design and configuration upgrades of "Lingdong Island" on the 14 Pro series, thus receiving the same market feedback, which is expected. According to a survey conducted by the well-known analyst Kuo Mingchi , domestic 14 Pro series orders account for 85% of the entire iPhone 14 series, while the orders for the Plus model account for only 5%. This data is quite abnormal when counting the performance of various iPhone models in previous generations.
Cook works hard in Apple
took over Jobs from the iPhone 4S period, and Cook's existence gave Apple new meaning. To put it bluntly, Apple has truly entered the track of development, and its operating indicators have steadily improved, making more money. During Cook's tenure, Apple's market value exceeded US$3 trillion for the first time at the beginning of this year, becoming the world's first company to have a market value of 3 trillion. Apple is standing at another peak.
Cook
Behind Apple, a large number of investors have witnessed Apple's unstoppable rise, and even Cook's actual opponent, OPPO/vivo founder Duan Yongping , is among them.
This investment tycoon, known as "China Buffett ", recently praised Cook on social platforms. He said, "Cook is great and very hardworking. Until now, he is still handling user letters personally. It's amazing. I hope he can stay at Apple for a few more years, even after retiring from CEO.I guess Cook (now 62) may have stepped down from the CEO position at around 65 years old. "
Duan Yongping talks about Cook
In fact, Duan Yongping is still too conservative. Some people from the outside world even hope that Cook can work in Apple for another ten years. Ten years are too long, and Cook refused. Previously, in an interview program, Cook made it clear that he would not stay in Apple's CEO position for so long, let alone stay in Apple for such a long time.
Duan Yongping
Cook is particularly concerned about the Chinese market. After Apple's autumn press conference, Cook's Weibo almost maintained the frequency of daily updates. On the day of the release of the iPhone 14 series, he couldn't hide his excitement on Weibo, "I'm glad that customers can experience the charm of our latest products. Behind this day is years of hard work - thanks to everyone who helped realize it 1
This statement just corresponds to Duan Yongping's opinion - Cook has indeed made unknown efforts in Apple, and this effort is an accurate control of details. Jobs is perhaps the best product manager, while Cook, who is a COO, is the smartest businessman. He is good at doing business and has established a supply chain that can accurately control processes. Through stricter quality control and cost control, he has pushed the iPhone business to its peak. Result-oriented, with Cook's efforts, Apple is now stronger than the Jobs era.
Cleverly, Apple is no longer able to innovate?
Regarding Apple's innovation, some people say that Apple under Cook's rule has innovations, but not many of them are too conservative. In fact, this is the result of Cook balancing Apple's internal products and markets, and this is also the current situation of the entire mobile phone industry.
At present, the global smartphone market has entered a period of weakening, and shipments are generally on a downward trend. According to data released by Canalys, global smartphone shipments fell to 287 million units in the second quarter of this year. Among them, Apple accounts for 49.5 million units, with a market share of 17%, ranking second. Behind this is somewhat related to the fact that there are few innovations and few new features of smartphones, which shows that the smartphone industry has fallen into a bottleneck in development.
Jobs
From the release of the iPhone 14 series, Cook thought he did a good job in an interview in response to Apple's current situation and product innovation. He said Jobs might like Apple now because it has something he likes. More than ten years ago, where was Jobs not satisfied with Apple? Perhaps it was stable and lasting, which was extremely precious in the Jobs era. So some people think that "Apple has lost its innovation ability" and "If Jobs is still there, Apple will not..." are biased.
In fact, is Apple really unable to innovate? Looking at Apple's history in the past 20 years, the company's strength is not inventing a certain product, but in strengthening the integration ability of in product , and they can always find a new direction.
Cook believes that in Apple now, Jobs will find the good side, and of course he will see the shortcomings. "Like all of us, we've never really been satisfied. We're always preparing for tomorrow." Apple's innovation on iPhones is indeed controversial. But in other aspects, such as headset devices, smart cars and other fields, Apple is making secret efforts.
