Although consumers have a variety of complaints about Gphone, such as slow network speed, not big enough screen, not enough colors to choose from, etc., it does not affect the situation that Gphone is hard to find.

Contrary to the thriving situation of the Tejour mobile phone, the situation at Apple is a little different.

In 1971, 16-year-old Steve Jobs and 21-year-old Stephen Woznik met through a friend's introduction. In 1976, Steve Jobs succeeded in convincing Wads to assemble the machine and sell it, and another of their friends, Rowe Wayne, joined in, and the three formed Apple Computer on April 1, 1976.

In addition to computer products, Apple also manufactures consumer devices. In the 1990s, Apple published Neton, coining the term personal digital assistant as the earliest PDA. Although it did not sell well, it became a pioneer in products such as the Palm Pilot and Pocket PC.

The success of the iPod digital music player in the early 2000s, combined with its exclusive iTunes network paid music download system, beat Sony's alkman series to become the world's No. 1 portable music player, and the subsequent launch of several iPod series products further cemented Apple's unshakable position in the commercial digital music market.

Apple's market value has been rising with the popularity of the Mac series and iPod. In 2006, Apple's net profit reached $2.4 billion, with a market value of more than $80 billion. Although there is still a big gap with the Apple of later generations, it is already an out-and-out technology giant.

It can be said that in the first six years of the beginning of the 21st century, Apple's development was very smooth. Without Jiang Hui, Apple would have developed more smoothly in the next decade.

However, the glorious mobile phone released the Gphone before Apple, and the Gphone began to be sold on the same day that Apple released the iPhone, which greatly reduced the surprise that the iphone brought to everyone.

The iphone, a technology product that combines the functions of the iPad and the mobile phone, is also a tool for surfing the Internet. It wasn't a very successful product in its original history, but it was an epoch-making product – both for Apple and for the world.

……

"Steve, we counted the comments of netizens on the Internet about our iPhone, and the situation does not seem to be very optimistic."

"What do those ignorant netizens know? Do they know the future development direction of mobile phones? Do they know how much effort we put into the iPhone? They just know where to find faults."

"Not only are those netizens discussing, but people from Nokia and Motorola are also tweeting about jokes that our iPhone is a children's toy".

"What do those Nokia executives know?" said Jobs, displeased.

The day after the iPhone was released, Nokia's CEO Kang Peikai was dismissive, saying on his Twitter, "Apple will not have any impact on Nokia, because Nokia has been focusing on mobile phones for many years, and at the same time has a product line that meets any price point and need, while Apple only has one product." ”

There is also a classic story about Nokia's decline that is popular in the technology world in later generations: when Apple's iPhone was first launched, Nokia engineers thoroughly tested it and concluded that "this phone is not strong at all, and there must be no future ......", and now, the Gphone is not strong at all in Nokia's eyes, and there must be no future.

Some things seem to be doomed in the dark, whether it is Gphone or iphone has not attracted the attention of Nokia, only after a few years, after the decline of Nokia, the giant, everyone will find out, what is eliminated by the times!

"Steve, maybe you can ignore the comments of netizens on the Internet about the iPhone, and you can ignore the opinions of traditional mobile phone manufacturers like Nokia, but there is one thing I think you must attach great importance to."

"What's the matter?".

"There are rumors that Korn Radiance is going to sue our company for infringing their patents."

"All our technology, all the appearances were developed independently, how can we infringe on the patent of the Brilliant phone?", Jobs roared loudly.

Jobs's friends once commented on Jobs: Jobs is like a child, he is easily angry about something, and this emotion does not last long. But sometimes, Jobs can really be very frustrated, his way of venting is to hurt people, he probably feels that he has the right to do that, ordinary ways of communication don't work for him, he is so sensitive, he knows how to hurt someone.

So when employees report to him, no matter what level they are, Jobs may go crazy at any time.

"We also don't want to believe this, but after checking the various patents registered by Guanghui mobile phone, we preliminarily judged that the iPhone may indeed be involved in infringement in terms of some appearance layout and button design."

"Have you received a subpoena?".

"Not yet, it's just that there are rumors that Radiance Mobile wants to sue us, and it cannot be ruled out that Brilliant Mobile is hyping itself."

"No, it's definitely not as simple as hype, it's better to hype up than to sue us directly, the effect is better. Is it possible for us to circumvent the patent of the Brilliant phone?".

"It is possible to circumvent individual patents, but there are a bunch of patents registered in a mess of Guanghui mobile phones, and it is difficult to guarantee that all of them will be avoided, and this may lead to a delay in our listing schedule."

"Then we will make several preparations, on the one hand, to circumvent their patents as much as possible, and on the other hand, to talk to Guanghui mobile phone to see if we can get patent authorization. At the same time, we also have to prepare for the worst, the company has raised so many people in the legal department, but it is not for them to eat."

"Okay, I think so too, even if we want to go to court, we have to adopt various strategies to drag on Guanghui Mobile to compromise, and finally settle out of court."

"Seat! A good end of the project, was messed up by the glorious mobile phone, and it was completely messed up."

"Steve, our main income now is iPods and computers, and mobile phones are the first time to enter, and some twists and turns are normal, which will not affect our development plans."

"No, you're underestimating the importance of the iPhone to our company. In my eyes, she is the most important product of our company, and there is no one," says Jobs.

Apple's ability to emerge from the near-collapse of the 90s and achieve today's results is inseparable from Jobs's far-sighted layout.

In terms of development vision, Jobs and Jiang Hui both belong to that kind of superhuman existence. The difference is that Jobs's vision is innate, while Jiang Hui is a prophet brought by the two worlds.

Whether it is a Gphone or an iphone, it is actually an epoch-making product. Although at present, the Brilliant mobile phone is one step ahead, it does not mean that Apple is out.

There is still a long way to go!
