Chapter 239: God's Mobile Phone

There are three apples that changed the world, the fruit of life that Adam and Eve were tempted to eat by the serpent, the apple that fell in front of Newton, and the apple created by Steve Jobs.

And now is the day of the release of the first generation of Apple's mobile phone, which is Apple's new product launch. Jobs was giving a speech, "Allow me to describe this phone as magical, I have always admired the sages and Buddhas in Eastern culture, but we can't do everything, but this phone will make you do anything......"

Lin Fan admired Jobs' performance very much, perhaps it was this appreciation that made Lin Fan temporarily leave the bed with Chu Chu and choose to participate in this press conference. Lin Fan has been looking at Jobs, or the iconic turtleneck sweater and jeans, maybe this outfit can only be worn by Jobs. Wearing a pair of glasses and deep eyes, the whole person looks a little elegant, but many people know that Jobs can even be called mean.

For example, he often yells at employees and will fire you mercilessly, if you have no value. For example, he didn't recognize his daughter's identity at first, and he didn't recognize the father-daughter relationship.

But at the same time, as long as you have the ability, he doesn't have any shelves. He is very loved by Apple employees, and he is the most motivating for employees. Well, it's paradoxical, let's just say that the person who works miracles is a miracle in itself.

This product exhibition is a long-planned activity of Jobs, as early as after his second entry into Apple, he began to stop all scientific research projects, Jobs has heralded the arrival of the mobile Internet era, so last year and Motorola jointly launched a mobile phone, but the project is not ideal, but this did not disappoint him, only in this way, can show the power of the IOS system.

At this time, Jobs clicked on Google Maps on his iPhone, "First of all, I would like to thank Larry Page and Sergey Bloom for their technical support, but I think the next little experiment will be even more surprising." What do you like the most in the office? fast food? high salary? No, it's a hot cup of coffee, it can replace breakfast, it can replace afternoon tea, it's a must for staying up late and working hard. ”

Jobs typed the word Starbucks into Google Maps, and the map displayed on his phone instantly appeared on the screen behind him, "Although I hate Starbucks instant coffee, and the so-called cat poop coffee is also hard to drink." But there's no denying it's convenient, but now it's going to be even easier. ”

The Jobs-style spit didn't attract people's attention, people were already attracted by the dense red dots on the big screen, and Jobs nodded indifferently, "As you can see, just a light search, you can find more than 4,000 coffee shops, hell, Starbucks is really cheap." But we can try the à la carte service. ”

The next moment, people's breathing couldn't help but be still, and with Jobs's lightstroke, all the information of a coffee shop was directly displayed, the location, the ordering phone, the distance, everything was clear, and Jobs dialed the phone directly.

"Hey, Starbucks, is there anything we can do for you?"

"Of course, I need 4,000 lattes to pack. ”

"Are you sure you're not joking, sir?"

"Of course not, I have more than four thousand guests. ”

"Well, sir, please give me your full address and name, and I will arrange for coffee to be delivered for you. ”

Jobs had already laughed out loud at this time, "What the hell, you actually believe what I say?Four thousand cups of coffee, are you a pig?" The next moment, Jobs hung up the phone directly, and his expression was very serious, "Although the prank is annoying, our meeting rules today don't clearly state that I want to invite you to coffee, and it's a big expense, so, aha." ”

The audience applauded enthusiastically, and I have to say that Americans like Jobs's way of speaking, arrogant and confident, mastered everything and extremely calm, concise and powerful, the meaning of these applause is not only this, they realize that this is likely to be an epoch-making mobile phone.

Especially with Jobs showing all kinds of functions, clear photography, fantasy gyroscope, in short, this phone is full of novelty, but the most dazzling thing is the way of operation, there is no button, which is unimaginable.

Sitting here, the most complicated thoughts are probably Larry and Sergei, they attended this meeting completely to cheer Jobs, the two sides are friends, and not only that, Apple was a world-famous computer production company before, and the two sides are in partnership, but now the faces of the two are beginning to look ugly.

When Apple is no longer satisfied with the identity of a computer manufacturer, and chooses to use this iOS system to break the game, this will undoubtedly become the next Microsoft, why Microsoft can dominate the computer field, is not because the indos system is dominant, and now Apple has developed its own smartphone system, is it watching Apple gradually grow? Larry and Sergei couldn't help but glance at each other, and the two Google heroes made a decision in their hearts at the same time.......

At this time, the press conference was nearing the end, but there was a temporary accident, the remote control in Jobs's hand was broken, and he couldn't control the slide to continue, but this did not affect Jobs's on-the-spot performance, he told a little story about himself:

When I was in middle school, Wolz made a TV signal jammer, Woz put this jammer in his pocket and brought it to the dorm, everyone was watching Star Trek, he quietly pressed the button, the TV was disturbed and became blurry, someone would stand up and fix it, when the person lifted his foot, Woz released the button, and the picture would return to normal, and after the foot hit the ground, Woz would blur the TV picture again.......

Jobs's story ended with applause, and Lin Fan also left the venue with the flow of people, and he saw Larry and Sergei with complicated faces, maybe these two people will soon come to him, after all, they have what they want most.

But it's not just Google that's sad, such as Microsoft, which has always been a bitter rival to Apple. For example, the previous mobile phone sales giant Nokia, this mobile phone will be acquired by Microsoft in the future, and this mobile phone revolution will send many traditional mobile phone manufacturers into the abyss. Of course, these are things in the future, and even if many people are worried, they can't imagine that smartphones will be important in the future, and many of people's demands can be realized through smartphones.

And now, it's time for Apple to do wonders.

At 18:00 on June 29, 2007, the iPhone 2G was released in the United States, priced at $499 for the 4GB version and $599 for the 8GB version.

This price, which is equivalent to nearly half a month's salary of the middle bourgeoisie, did not deter Apple enthusiasts, who had already amassed a considerable number of fans in the computer field before the launch of the iPhone.

Soon, the Apple mobile phone was hailed as a god mobile phone by the media and users, and this mobile phone ushered in a new era.
