Chapter 486: Mockery (1st Update)
On the phone, Li Zetian communicated with the CEO of Chronos Energy Company for more than ten minutes to determine the research and development of power banks.
For the rest of the day, it's just a matter of waiting for the release of the iPhone.
Before that, Li Zetian thought about it, discussed it with Jobs, and decided to let people secretly put the iPhone's appearance photos on the Internet, causing controversy, and warming up the iPhone in advance.
In the first half of this year, Nokia has released several new mobile phones, and Apple should also show its fists, otherwise it will not be looked down upon?
Apple bought some advertisements on the Internet, and soon, the shape of the iPhone was discovered by netizens.
"Is this a mobile phone??? why is there no button?"
", this appearance is really cool, full of technology, but how to make calls without a keyboard?"
"Apple's new phone should use a touchscreen, and users can press keys on the touchscreen to dial numbers!"
"Touch screen phone! I'll go, high-end atmosphere and grade!!"
"Hehe, in fact, Apple's mobile phone is not the world's first touch screen mobile phone, Motorola launched a touchscreen mobile phone called Motorola A6188 as early as December 1999, with game software, AP browser, E-mail, schedule, computer, alarm clock, notepad, electronic dictionary and so on. It's just that this kind of mobile phone is very expensive, flashy, and the touch screen is not as good as the keypad. Therefore, the Motorola A6188 mobile phone pounced that year...... Hehe, Apple also produces this kind of touchscreen mobile phone, which is definitely a big failure!"
"Alas, listening to you say this, it seems to make a lot of sense! The mobile phone is not just beautiful, it must be easy to use, otherwise no one will buy it, at least I won't buy it! Speaking of which, Apple has not released a new product for more than a year, and Apple fans are looking forward to it, but it turns out that such a thing has come out, which is really disappointing!"

The exposure of the iPhone on the Internet naturally attracted the attention of mobile phone manufacturers such as Nokia, Ericsson, and Motorola.
The chairman of Nokia smacked his tongue secretly and said: "The amazing process design is really eye-catching, but I don't know how the function and price are......" At this moment, he couldn't help but be faintly worried.
"Hehe, chairman, you don't have to worry at all! You know, not only did Motorola fail to develop a touchscreen phone, but even our Nokia touchscreen phone failed before. What does this mean...... This shows that consumers don't like this kind of touchscreen mobile phone at all!" A middle-aged man with a high nose bridge and thick eyebrows laughed, "Apple's development of touchscreen mobile phones is tantamount to self-destruction, Nokia surpasses Apple and becomes the world's largest mobile phone manufacturer, just around the corner!!"
"That's right, Vice President Kyle is right, Apple is killing itself!"
"Haha, do you want to open champagne to celebrate!!"
"Of course!" the crowd laughed and nodded.
Nokia's chairman saw that everyone's confidence was high, and he also seemed to see Nokia winning the position of the overlord of the mobile phone manufacturer, and his old face full of frowns showed a touch of ruddy.
……
The industry and the media are looking down on the iPhone, and it's understandable that they don't know about the iPhone. Previously, various mobile phone manufacturers did launch touchscreen mobile phones, but they were all single-touch screens, which are completely different from "multi-touch"! In addition, the powerful functions and content ecosystem of the iPhone are not comparable to those mobile phones.
At present, there are many people who ridicule the iPhone, but there are still many Apple fans who are full of confidence in the iPhone, especially some consumers who like appearance, and can't wait to buy an iPhone to go home now.
"Many people on the Internet slander the iPhone, and it must be that other mobile phone manufacturing companies have hired a water army!"
"That's it, these people are just opening their eyes and telling lies! I think other mobile phone manufacturers are envious and jealous, and they are afraid that the iPhone will steal their market share!"
"Hehe, no matter what others say, I just like this phone, I'm a good-looking phone!!"
……
On the morning of June 18, a large group of reporters came to the bottom of the Apple building, wanting to interview Jobs about the iPhone.
"Jobs, why did the iPhone make such a bold design, don't you know that there is no market for touchscreen phones?"
"Mr. Jobs, please don't go, please answer our question!"
Jobs's face was calm, and under the protection of the company's security guards, he walked into the company and ignored the reporter!
Before the press conference, Jobs will never introduce the functions of the iPhone in detail, not to say that it is better than to say, which can arouse everyone's curiosity and discussion, and wait until the day of the press conference to give everyone a huge surprise.
The reporters couldn't help but sigh as they watched Jobs go away, and then left one by one.
Then the European media reporter interviewed the chairman of Nokia and asked: "Hello Mr. Marlowe, many people are not optimistic about Apple's iPhone at the moment, so as the chairman of Nokia, what do you think of the iPhone?"
Nokia's chairman said lightly: "The price of touch screen is very expensive, so the iPhone will not be cheap." In my opinion, Apple pays too much attention to the outside, but ignores the fundamentals of the mobile phone! The mobile phone is used to make calls, and it is a tool for communication between people, and it is unpleasant to get some sensational things! The iPhone may be questioned by everyone for this reason! Nokia's purpose is to provide users with the best, most stable, and cheapest mobile phones, and we want to make the vast majority of people afford mobile phones!
"For example, in April this year, the N70, the first generation flagship product of the Nokia N series, was very popular as soon as it was launched, and more than 3 million units were sold in just a few months! Nokia N70 combines fashion, function, business and other characteristics, and can be called a flagship product...... "Nokia's chairman said and began to advertise his own products.
The reporters are speechless, I know that your Nokia N70 is awesome, and now I am asking you what you think of Apple's iPhone......
After a while, the chairman of Nokia said the iPhone again.
"The Nokia N70 is so good, but it's $400, hehe, I'm curious how much the iPhone costs......"
When he said the last sentence, the corners of Nokia's chairman's mouth rose, and there was a clear hint of ridicule in his tone.
The reporters' eyes lit up and they asked, "Mr. Marlowe, do you mean that the iPhone is not as good as the N70, but the price may be more expensive than the N70?"
Nokia's chairman smiled silently, but this attitude was clearly acquiescing.
The reporters returned to the company and immediately wrote their scripts.
"Shocked! Nokia's chairman actually commented on Apple's iPhone!!
"It's really shocking! The chairman of Nokia actually said such a thing in front of reporters!"
