Chapter 567: Depressed Jobs
January 9, 2007 is not only the day of the official sale of the Gphone of the Glorious mobile phone, it is also the day of Apple's new generation product launch.
As an established tech company, Apple's best-selling products are its iPod music player and Macintosh notebook. If you are mean, that is, Apple is a seller of MP3s, and secondly, it is a seller of non-mainstream notebooks.
This year, the 50-year-old Jobs still looks vibrant. However, in the eyes of many people, under the light of Bill Gates, Jobs is still a little tender, far from the momentum of the later generations of Joe's gang leaders.
And if it weren't for Bill Gates, who made the mistake of being a woman at a critical moment and lent $100 million to the helpless Jobs, all computers on the planet would have indos. Even a handful of fans of Steve Jobs and Apple just don't think the products of Microsoft and Intel are cool enough. If your friends and family have to buy a laptop on a limited budget, they think it's a good idea to buy a Dell or HP product.
Therefore, Apple's press conference attracted quite limited attention, especially the Gphone product with a glorious mobile phone in front, and the attention attracted even less attention from the iphone that Apple was about to launch.
Although the launch of the Guanghui mobile phone and the launch of today's Gphone have attracted the attention of a large number of consumers. But Nokia, which accounts for nearly 40% of the industry, doesn't think so.
Scandinavians tend to make the wrong fingers when working on a 3.5-inch screen. And keyboards and using stylus and resistive screens simply don't make such mistakes. So they are still firmly walking their own way, step by step towards the abyss of bankruptcy!
Enthusiasts who like to play with mobile phones are still in love with indos Mobile mobile phones represented by HTC, which have a highly consistent interface with PCs.
More mobile phone giants, such as Motorola and Sony Ericsson, believe that it is difficult for consumers to understand the complex settings of smartphones, and in their opinion, the task of mobile phones is to make calls and send text messages, and if they are stronger and more resistant to falls, they are more reliable.
"Those kids' things at home", this may be what these giants say about Gphone!
However, history has always been a silent thunderstorm, and only a few people can see farther, and Jobs and Jiang Hui are among these few people.
Therefore, Jobs still attaches great importance to the iPhone conference held in San Francisco, and even regards it as a key step for Apple to take off.
Although there is already a pioneer in the middle, the Brilliant mobile phone, as Nokia thought, the production capacity of the Brilliant mobile phone is less than one percent of Nokia. No matter how popular the Gphone is, sales will be like that for the time being.
In 2007, the vast mobile phone market was large enough to accommodate several new smartphone companies.
Whether it is for Guanghui mobile phone or Apple, the main thing at present is to grab meat from traditional giants such as Onion Nokia, rather than compete with each other.
Of course, with the rapid expansion of the smartphone market in the next few years, Guanghui mobile phones will sooner or later have a few fights with Apple, which are all later stories.
……
In a barely lively hall, Jobs officially began the introduction of the iPhone.
"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen! After a year, we meet here again. Today, I'm going to take you into a whole new world, a world that changes your lives......"
Jobs was passionately introducing the functions of the iPhone on stage, and the media friends below were also whispering.
"It's not as beautiful as the Gphone."
"Yes, but the screen size is 3.5 inches."
"If it weren't for Gphone, Apple's phone might still be able to surprise everyone, but now I don't feel much about it."
"Yes, whether it's the memory, the pixels of the camera, or the battery life, it's not as good as the Gphone."
"Let's take a look at what's new in Apple's phone."
……
"Our company has carefully built a unique system for this phone, and our iOS system is the best ...... in the world in terms of stability, security and convenience," Jobs continued to introduce on stage.
At the same time, the comparison between the Gphone and the iphone quickly appeared on Twitter.
"Why doesn't the iPhone have an app download mall?
"At $349 and $449, the price is $50 cheaper than the Radiance phone, but I feel that the difference in value is more than $50."
Historically, the iPhone was priced at $499 and $599, which was $100 more expensive than the Gphone.
Now with the Gphone, if Jobs sets this price again, it will definitely be self-inflicted. Apple obviously wouldn't do such a stupid thing, and it wouldn't dare to do such a knife-wielding thing.
However, Apple's price is obviously sacrificing its own profits, and it is basically sold near the cost price.
Historically, the profit margin of Apple's mobile phones has generally reached around 40%, and less than one achievement can be said to be making hard-earned money. Now under the pressure of the glorious mobile phone, Apple has no choice but to earn hard-earned money first.
"How do I think the iphone is a simplified version of the Gphone, or a simplified version that has become uglier."
"I originally thought that Jobs would continue to create miracles, but I didn't find it and just picked up people's teeth, which disappointed me a little."
……
All sorts of comments flooded Twitter. Since the release of the iphone is on the same day as the Gphone goes on sale, everyone will basically compare the two phones.
It's better than not knowing, it's more frightening!
In the eyes of the American people, it is very lofty, and Apple is independent, but it is a bit of a feeling that everyone is confused.
Everyone has a preconceived subconscious when looking at things, and after seeing the Gphone of the glorious mobile phone, everyone hopes that the smartphone launched by Apple can be better than the Gphone, at least in some aspects.
But judging from the current situation, except for the price of 50 dollars cheaper, the iphone has no advantage in front of the Gphone.
If you must add another advantage, that is, the iphone is a product of an American company, and the Gphone is a product of the Celestial Empire.
There is always a handful of consumers who think that the products from the Celestial Empire are low-end and of poor quality, and think that things made in the United States must be better than the Celestial Empire!
This is already the category of idealism, and Jiang Hui has no other good way to deal with this small group of people except to keep slapping them in the face.
In fact, as long as consumers use these two mobile phones, there are various applications such as Twitter and Meituan, and the Gphone that can support the 3G network will definitely blow up the iphone.
In the face of absolute strength, all the means of cats and dogs, all kinds of resistance, all kinds of belittlement, are all paper tigers, and they can be pierced as soon as they are poked!
