Chapter 644: The Same Being Trampled
Just like the launch of Gphone, mobile phone giants such as Nokia have come to belittle Brilliant mobile phones.
The same smartphone, the iPhone can't ask for this fate.
So in Jiang Hui's view, to a certain extent, Guanghui mobile phone and Apple are grasshoppers on the same line, not just competitors.
However, the slight difference is that this time it is not Nokia and Motorola that jump out first, but other tech giants.
It can also be seen that Apple, under the leadership of Steve Jobs, has really provoked a lot of people in the American technology industry.
Microsoft CEO Ballmer said on his Twitter on the day of the iPhone's sale: iPhones want to enter the market at all, maybe they can make a little money, but most of the 1.3 billion mobile phones sold every year will still be equipped with Microsoft's system, and Apple can get a share of 2%-3%.
WELL, IT'S OBVIOUS THAT MICROSOFT IS UNHAPPY THAT APPLE DOESN'T USE MICROSOFT'S SYSTEM ON THE IPHONE, BUT MAKES A SEPARATE IOS SYSTEM ON ITS OWN.
Once upon a time, Microsoft was the hegemon of the technology industry, relying on the two major weapons of Office and indos, to attack left and right, beat the invincible opponents all over the world, and counted the money until the hand cramped.
It's a pity that he met Jobs, who is born and bright?
Just entering the 21st century, the Internet bubble burst, the core position of the personal computer is in jeopardy, and Steve Jobs, a god-like opponent, has relied on iTunes and iPod to fight his way out.
On the side of the couch, will others be allowed to sleep peacefully?
Microsoft immediately sacrificed the Zune player, a big killer, thinking that it would be easy to regain the lost ground, but due to the old appearance and function of the product, the goods were backlogged.
In the first round, Apple won.
If history continues to move back in time, the rest of the story is simply a history of Microsoft's humiliation.
Whether it is the battle between iPad and Surface, or the collision between iOS and Indos Phone, Microsoft has lost a mess, and Apple has been arched off the throne of the first place in the technology industry.
Apple isn't just Microsoft's enemy.
BlackBerry CEO Basley also said on his Twitter: Apple is a mud cow into the sea, the market is already very crowded, and it cannot change the existing market, and some media have blown it a little too much.
Why did BlackBerry fight Apple?
Let's take a look at a media interview with a consumer.
"Out of curiosity, because I needed to buy a new phone in the market, I walked into an Apple store on June 29, 2007, and tried the iPhone for myself, it was light, thin, and responsive.
I played around for a while and I liked it, it's a good device, a high-quality phone, and I can browse the web comfortably. I remember holding an iPhone in my hand and it was really impressed.
But in the end, I chose to buy the BlackBerry 8800. ”
BlackBerry is a Canadian brand of portable wireless communication equipment, founded in 1999.
It features support for e-mail, mobile phone, text messaging, Internet fax, web browsing, and other wireless messaging services.
To a certain extent, it's also a smartphone!
In the "911 incident", almost all U.S. communication equipment was paralyzed, but U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney's mobile phone has a BlackBerry function, which successfully connects wirelessly and can receive real-time information about the disaster scene anytime, anywhere.
After that, there was a blackberry craze in the United States.
It's a god-like rise!
When the U.S. Congress was adjourned due to the "911 incident", each congressman was given a BlackBerry phone for lawmakers to use to conduct state affairs.
Subsequently, the portable e-mail device quickly became a staple of electronics for business executives, consultants, and every Wall Street businessman.
To put it more directly, in 2007, the leader of the smartphone market in the United States will not be Brilliant mobile phones, let alone Apple, but BlackBerry.
Looking at it this way, it is normal for the CEO of BlackBerry to step on the Mi iPhone a few times.
In addition to Microsoft and BlackBerry, another tech bigwig also jumped out to step on Apple.
Palm CEO Rubinstein tweeted: "Does a toaster make coffee?" There is no such crossover product in the world, because such a combination is not as comfortable as using it separately. In the world of digital products, the same law applies, iPods are iPods, mobile phones are mobile phones, cameras are cameras, and all of them come together to mean that there will be good results.
Although people didn't mention the iPhone directly, everyone knows what it means to update such a tweet on the day the iPhone went on sale.
And that's not all, there are countless people who have jumped out of Apple to step on it.
"Apple should stop the iPhone project, they are risking their reputation, and this company that never makes mistakes may be making a big mistake."
"The iPhone is a flashy thing that attracts only a handful of hardware freaks, and as to whether or not it can make waves in the industry, the answer is obvious – it's harder."
"For Apple, the iPhone is a bet on their new business, and even after the success of the iPod and Mac, Apple can't guarantee that it won't overturn in the gutter on the phone.
Steve Jobs' goal of gaining a 1 percent market share by the end of 2008 may not seem difficult, but it also means they will have to sell at least 10 million iPhones, compared to Apple's most successful iPod, which sold 39 million units last year.
"The iPhone does look great, but it's certainly not going to be the next iPod for the mobile phone industry."
"The iPhone didn't impress me, and as an indos Mobile veteran, the touch screen is not a novelty."
"Obviously, you don't know anything about touch screens, this kind of product is terrible for mobile phones, and there will definitely be all kinds of problems with the iPhone in the future."
……
This, how many people did Jobs offend in the American technology community?
At the beginning, Gphone was not scolded so badly when it was listed.
Of course, not everyone is not unpopular with iPhones.
"I love iPhones to death. It's incredibly easy to use, almost all the features are automatic, and the interface is more beautiful and user-friendly than any other phone on the market (have you ever used a Gphone?), so it's pure fun to use. It's almost a perfect phone."
"Whether it's propaganda hype or fair evaluation, it can be said that the iPhone is revolutionary. Despite its flaws, it's smart, it's stylish. It can do things that other phones can't do before, and it lacks most of the features of feature phones."
"The email and web browsing experience is incredibly good, and the crisp music and video playback experience is a plus. Apple has brought to the market a revolutionary device: a smart and sensitive touchscreen, creating a new user interface that perfectly matches it. My three-year-old daughter was able to learn to unlock her iPhone and use it to make phone calls in an instant."
……
Whether it is belittled or praised, Apple's official launch of the iPhone still attracts a lot of attention.
Maybe it's because the iPhone is really controversial, maybe it's because Apple itself is a unique company, maybe it's because Jobs itself is full of controversy.
