Chapter 424: The Birth of the iPhone

There were a lot of things I wanted to ask in my heart, but at this moment, the press conference began, and Jobs was already thanking the guests, and the reporter from the Los Angeles Times had to leave first, because Ye Dongqing's attention was no longer on him.

The more mysterious, the easier it is to be chased by reporters, just a few pieces of content, almost can piece together a small interview article, in the reporter's opinion, even if the products at the press conference are not brilliant, their trip is not in vain, and it is not easy to interview a super-rich man who is worth the top of the rich list.

It used to be easier to find Ye Dongqing, but as he became richer and richer, he became more low-key.

In the past few years, Apple's press conference has attracted more and more attention, almost every large-scale press conference will drum up a few decent products, it is still worth looking forward to, the popularity of Maac all-in-one machine needless to say, it has already been rated as the best on the market, the most beautiful two products, iPod music player is gradually replaced by iTouch, successfully set off a wave of craze.

According to the grapevine, the product to be released today will be another new model from Apple, and Apple's stock price has risen slightly before it is officially released.

The outstanding shares in the market have been acquired by Freshwater Investment Group too much, so that it has triggered a liquidity crisis, indirectly pushing the stock price up, fortunately, the recent news of the upcoming issuance of additional shares for financing, many small and medium-sized shareholders on the scene have long been hot, they know more than others.

Last year, Ye Dongqing, as a major shareholder, sent a letter of explanation to shareholders on behalf of Apple's management, introducing the use of R&D funds.

In that letter, he praised a new product that Apple is developing, and directly said that it is a new product that "can change the world and make Apple a world-class manufacturing company".

After recovering from the disease, Mr. Steve Jobs now continues to serve as the CEO of Apple, and the doctor said that he has recovered, but no one knows whether it will relapse.

Having held so many press conferences, Jobs already had experience, and did not take out the good things at the beginning, first introduced the development of the App-Store, and the subsequent updates and changes, and then talked about the recent situation of the iTunes music player and related businesses.

Apple sells hardware, and it's very famous, in fact, there is a lot of business in software, but most of it is for its own use, used in closed Mac-OS and iOS systems, since new products have been launched, sales are pretty good, barely a small bright spot.

I don't know who is sharp-eyed, but I vaguely saw something from the outline of Jobs's pants pocket, and I passed it on one by one, and everyone soon knew about it.

So there was a strange scene.

While Steve Jobs stood on the stage and spoke earnestly, a group of reporters set up their guns and guns, and they all focused their attention on his crotch, trying to take pictures of his pants pockets and analyze something from them.

It seems to be larger and thinner than a traditional phone, and it doesn't look like the iTouch, which is faintly visible because Jobs is wearing jeans.

The really good things didn't come out, the press conference had started for more than forty minutes, and they were still listening to these things that they weren't interested in, let alone reporters, even Ye Dongqing secretly dozed off, if it weren't for the large number of people at the scene, he really wanted to remind Jobs to start it officially, he didn't have much appetite in the morning, and now his stomach was grumbling with hunger.

Finally.

As Jobs pressed the remote control, there was another picture behind him, with a line of words written on it, and a picture of the front of the fuselage, the details were not blurred, and only the general outline could be seen.

It reads: Future, belongs to the iPhone.

Jobs walked back and forth, and said: "When Leo and I first met, he had already acquired a lot of Apple shares and became a major shareholder of Apple, and in a chat, he told me that Nokia's mobile phone was so bad that the Symbian operating system simply didn't work, Nokia was still a little aggressive, and Motorola was just like it was in the 70s, just making products with call function."

And suggested that I build a new mobile phone based on Apple's operating system, not only limited to calls, but also a real mobile micro smart product, thanks to his creativity, but also thanks to the efforts of all the R & D staff, iTouch is just an attempt, now, we have the next generation of mobile phones, named the first product of the iPhone series, the research and development cycle is about three years, costing nearly 1.2 billion US dollars, a total of more than 1,100 people involved in the research and development project. ”

Offstage, Ye Dongqing was just laughing after hearing this, anyway, because of the shorting, he had already made a feud with those two companies, and it didn't matter if he stepped on it at the moment, with the listing of the iPhone, he was destined to become competitors with those two companies.

The reporters were nervous, holding the camera to the screen, and someone reported the press conference in real time on Ye Dongqing's news website through the computer, and the shareholders were also nervous, ready to increase their holdings or sell their shares, for fear of missing the opportunity to make money, or losing money because the product was not good enough.

I saw Jobs put his hand in his pocket, took out a small black machine with a large screen from it, and lit up after pressing the side button.

Ye Dongqing sat in the front row, almost everyone sitting in the front row like him could see it, the white screen displayed the Apple logo, with time, etc., and the familiar sliding unlock function was also available, long strips, with arrows.

In an instant, a flash lights on, scrambling to photograph the little thing in Jobs' hand.

In order to give people a more intuitive understanding, Jobs continued to press the remote control, and the next picture of the mobile phone was displayed on the screen behind him, which was an animated image with a 360-degree rotation with a size marker.

Jobs continued: "It is equipped with a built-in camera with up to two million pixels, and uses a 3.5-inch full-touch screen jointly developed by Apple, Sony and Sharp, with a resolution of up to 320x480, so that the image is so clear. ”

As he spoke, the picture behind him kept changing, and he took a photo on the spot, connected it to a projector and showed it to people.

Real-time display of the picture on the mobile phone screen, starting from the homepage, in the crowd, a pair of eyes widened, especially when they saw that they connected to the 3G mobile network without wireless network and opened Facebook smoothly, the scene was in an uproar......
