Chapter 380: Jobs sewed up the collapsed heart
Steve Jobs couldn't calm down all the way from Apple's headquarters to the Marriott Hotel not far from San Francisco.
The iPhone project is less than a year away from the expected timeline, and I didn't expect to encounter such a new change.
He has absolute confidence in the design concept of the iPhone, and the deep optimization of software and hardware under the closed operating system can definitely bring the best experience.
He also has absolute confidence in the system experience and functionality of the iPhone, which is a unique product at the moment.
But this is all based on the premise that the basic hardware system has not produced unexpected changes.
The price of 3D flash memory is still high, the application in the field of mobile phones has not been fully recognized by the market, and there is more than one supplier, and it is not the core spare part in the architecture of smartphones.
Can ram...... Hell, this thing is much more important than flash memory, which directly affects the core performance of the phone.
But now, what is DDR4 black swan? And there is already LPDDR4?
Jobs keenly read a very likely message from this message: Perhaps, the Flint Group developed memory specifically for smartphones.
Who will directly develop R&D at the same time? Only those who have LPDDR as their real goal!
In this way, the rover smartphone thing is enough to be taken seriously to the highest degree.
If the rover simply developed a so-called instruction set, and then designed chips and developed operating systems based on it, Jobs didn't worry.
It sounds more like a rhetoric for playing tickets and publicity, how much originality is there?
What is the operating system experience like, and which developers will contribute the application.
But memory can't be faked...... DDR4 is something that only exists in a theoretical roadmap, and it can't be faked.
So if it's not for the Chinese people making international jokes, it's going to change the sky.
What's more, this is a smartphone, and the baseband chip is indispensable. Which one has provided the best 3G chip and the only 4G technology so far?
Huawei HiSilicon, which also has a 40% stake in the flintstone group!
Jobs had a headache for this matter, and the purchase of a small number of chips in the R&D stage would not attract attention, and it is conceivable that there will be resistance in the procurement negotiations for mass production in the future.
Now, is DDR4 going to repeat the story of 3D flash between Apple and the rover?
But the rover's phone, will it use DDR4?
If the rover's mobile phone uses DDR4, where does Apple get DDR4?
How painful was Apple around 3D flash last year?
You're producing mp3s, and so am I.
You need 3D flash and I need it too.
You need to procure, I can produce it myself, and it's much better and cheaper than what you can procure.
At that time, Jobs kicked the punching bag hard in the gym.
What about DDR4 now? The Chinese people have even made an infiltration lithography machine, what chips can Samsung have this time?
What if Flint Group no longer authorizes DDR4 patents this time?
He really didn't have a bottom in his heart.
If a mobile phone with hardware performance far stronger than the iPhone appears, as long as its system is not so rotten, who will the user choose?
But will the rover's system rot to the point of exploding?
Jobs remembered the music management software DY specially developed for the rover MP3, and now it has set off a new storm, Dream Talk Weibo and Smart Future, all of which are advanced in concept, advanced technology, and very good interactive experience.
Even the Facebook launched by Penguin, a listed company in China, and Haokan launched by E-Net, also have Flint Capital as an important shareholder behind them.
Many foreign innovators have the advantage of local resources, but the three platforms of Menghua Weibo and AN have gained a firm foothold in Europe and the United States with their constantly iterative new functions and endless operation strategies.
Such an opponent, even if it is the first time to set foot in the field of smartphones, will the operating system be rotten?
Although Jobs felt that the Rover's Rebus was definitely worse than himself, the Rover's mobile phone operating system supported by the Flint Group must be excellent.
A phone with an unknown CPU, the best RAM, the largest ROM, the best baseband chip, the best DAC, the best ISP, and an excellent operating system......
Oh no! According to the information provided by a friend, this guy is actually the leader of the R&D team of Huaguo infiltration lithography machine, and the design scheme of the projection objective lens is provided by him......
He also led the research and development of Huaguo's cutting-edge machine tools for the machining of precision instruments, sensors and processes for the rover mobile phone......
"Boss, we're here. The driver parked the car, but glanced in the rearview mirror and saw that the boss's expression was a little dazed and sluggish.
"Boss?" he raised his voice.
Jobs looked up: "Huh?"
"We're at the ISSCC venue. ”
Jobs looked out the window and suddenly felt a little frightened, as if there was a man-eating beast inside, and it was for him that he came.
Otherwise, why an iPod and then a smartphone?
No, how would he know that Apple launched its smartphone strategy from 04?
Or rather, this guy was targeting smartphones from the start. Apple, just head-on into the territory of the behemoth?
It was only at the end of his thoughts that he felt as if he had inadvertently glimpsed the whole picture.
For this smartphone, he promoted the upgrading of Huaguo's entire industrial base?
No, it's to leapfrog to the top of the world! Is this something that human beings can do?
That's just a 22-year-old!
When I was 22 years old, I had just founded Apple, and my first business was only 50 complete machines!
What about this man?
In five years, he has billions of dollars in assets and tens of billions of dollars in industrial mobilization capabilities, leading the trend in cutting-edge manufacturing, semiconductors, integrated circuits, and the Internet.
According to the analysis magazine, in the past three years, the flintstone group has only focused on the appreciation of assets, and the investment and achievements in scientific research have been widely good.
What were the infiltration lithography machines and cutting-edge machine tools at the end of last year? What are the current new generation of 3D flash memory, DDR4, and instruction set?
What's more, the companies under the Flint Group have filed an unknown number of patent applications around the world in the past three years. Patent applications that have entered the publication period involve a wide range of aspects, which makes people scratch their heads. It is not known how many patents have not entered the publication period.
Mr. Jobs now deeply suspects that many of them are smartphones.
Through the façade of the Marriott Hotel, he seemed to see many people barely standing in front of the giant beast to maintain their dignity, and their souls were already crawling on the ground and trembling.
These people are all outside, and they will make people worship the giants on the ground from body to spirit.
Jobs took a deep breath, opened the car door and walked down.
He walked to the door of the hotel step by step, and his steps gradually became steady.
The strategy of the iPhone cannot be given up like this, and the efforts of the team of 1,000 people for more than two years are about to reach the final juncture.
Now the most important thing is information!
More information is needed about the rover's smartphone, and the attitude of the future Flint Group on the supply of various chips is needed.
Jobs, who stepped firmly into the door of the hotel, suddenly flashed a trace of sadness in his heart.
When will companies like Apple start to worry about whether Chinese companies are willing to supply chips?
Or all kinds of chips? Baidu takes a look at the latest chapter of "The Life of Rebirth, Fighting for Literature" to read for free for the first time.
