Everyone knows that Apple is recognized as the most profitable company in the world, no one. Whether it is mobile phone accessories or the 30% handling fee at the Apple Store, Apple makes a lot of money. It can be said that the market value of Apple can exceed 3 trillion US dollars is entirely due to its own "work".
According to relevant data, Apple paid more than US$60 billion to developers in 2021, accounting for 70%-85% of Apple's total revenue in the app store.
If the above data cannot explain the problem, then the following data may allow you to fully recognize Apple's "terrifying" ability to make money. According to supply chain information, Apple can earn US$5 billion every year by selling mobile phone accessories, far exceeding the annual revenue and profit of many domestic mobile phone manufacturers. For example, Xiaomi 's net profit in 2021 was 22 billion yuan, which is 3.04 billion yuan in US dollars.
We have to admit that even if Apple chooses to "slide", Apple's closed-loop ecosystem and unique Lightning interface, MFi certified , etc. will bring it tens of billions of dollars in revenue. This is the strength of Apple.
It is worth mentioning that since Huawei's mobile business plummeted, no one can shake Apple's position in the domestic high-end mobile phone market. It is precisely because of this that Apple has actually started to "squeeze toothpaste" in recent years. Take the iPhone 14 series for example. There are almost no major upgrades in terms of screen, battery, or pixels, and even the processor can only enjoy the A16 only.
In contrast, the Huawei Mate50 series, which has returned after two years, not only has added satellite communication functions, but also has a lot of "black technology", such as Kunlun Glass, low-power emergency mode, self-developed image XMAGE technology, variable aperture design, etc.
More importantly, the 400 machines in Huawei Mate50 stock have been sold out, while Apple has reportedly cut orders of 600 iPhone 14 and reducing the production of iPhone 14 Plus.
In addition to this, EU has also stipulated that as of 2024, all smartphones, PC computers, digital cameras and other related devices must use the Type-C interface. In addition, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of my country has also made it clear that it hopes to unify domestic electronic products to use a charging port, that is, the Tpc interface.
Faced with huge market demand, Apple had to compromise. Just recently, Apple's official website officially launched the new generation of iPad Pro series and a brand new iPad, among which iPad 10 has canceled the Lightning interface and replaced it with a USB-C interface. This also means that the Lighting interface has become history in iPad products.
According to analyst Mingchi Kuo prediction, as early as 2024, Apple's iPhone 15 series will use USB-C interface uniformly. As for whether Apple will treat it differently, it will only be implemented in Europe and other regions. All we can do now is wait and see.
The most important thing is that Huawei Yu Chengdong once said that Huawei will return the king in 2023. If the facts are really as Yu Chengdong said, then Apple's revenue will be further compressed.
It is precisely because of this that foreign media said that Apple's "comfortable and profitable" era is being ended. Because Apple's way of making money seems less effective, whether in Europe or in the Chinese market. What do you think about this? Everyone is welcome to leave a message, like and share.
