108 Tim Cook's Decision

"So Scott, is this system as perfect for the app compatibility for IOS as demonstrated at the product launch?" After a long silence, Tim Cook suddenly asked.

Several executives looked at each other, and finally Scott, who was standing there explaining to Tim Cook, nodded first, and said with a wry smile: "In fact, according to our tests, almost all the apps in the APP store can run perfectly on this system, not only that, but it can also be perfectly supported for mobile applications in the Android market, which means that once this system is put into the market, it means that non-Apple users only need an account on one device to be able to download and use all the apps in our APP store." Of course, it is not excluded that our users will switch to this system and experience various mobile apps developed for Android or other systems. Of course, this may also be good news for application providers, because if the system is widely available, they may no longer need specialized development tools to provide applications. ”

This time, Tim Cook was silent for a long time, a full five minutes before he asked again, "So can we learn the advanced aspects of this system and make targeted improvements to IOS and accompanying applications?" ”

"That's the problem. As you know, it's also a closed system, and it's quite difficult to crack. In particular, the core part of the system, perhaps the intelligent core that the young man called it, has been encrypted with a new algorithm that I have not seen at least. Some are like the popular DES algorithm, but it doesn't seem to be from the number of bits of the key, we tried to crack it, and found that this program will produce corresponding changes in the process of cracking the key, which is certainly not what the DES algorithm can do, so ......" Scott Forsdale said here and suddenly paused, and did not continue, but he believed that Tim Cook must understand what he meant.

"Well, even if it is a DES algorithm, it may take decades to crack it with exhaustive methods, not to mention that this encryption algorithm is not a basic DES algorithm at all, so theoretically we can't crack this layer of encryption for the time being, right?" Tim Cook nodded, and said in affirmation.

Scott Forsdale nodded silently. As an architecture engineer of an IOS system, there is no need to discuss how to feel when I see a system that suddenly pops up so against the sky. What's more, they can't do anything about the system they get their hands on, and they can just get up and introduce so many things to Tim Cook, which is enough dedication. You must know that not everyone can smile at such a huge psychological gap.

However, Tim Cook obviously didn't intend to let go of one of his right-hand men, but spoke again: "So Scott, do you mean that when this system is put on the market, our IOS system is completely unmatched, right?" ”

Tim Cook asked this sentence by staring into Scott Forsdale's eyes, and his expression was even more serious, and it was clear that the Apple helmsman was very serious at this time.

Faced with this question of pouring salt into the wound, Scott Forsdale just spread his hands helplessly, and replied with some chagrin, "I would love to say no, but you know, I can't say anything like that." So, yes, you're right, once this system hits the market, the closed IOS system we rely on will be garbage. To be honest, even I was conquered by this system developed by the Chinese. I think when I leave Apple, I will definitely change the system to this Chinese mobile phone system! ”

"I see!" Tim Cook didn't stay silent for a long time, but quickly spoke, "Then we have to react as soon as possible." First of all, the technical department integrates all the apps in the Apple Store and takes the initiative to contact the app providers, maybe we need to change the way the Apple App Store operates. Secondly, we need to contact Huaxia's official, Huaxia must join the Apple 6S launch country, and send a message out, don't install the operating system for the time being on the new machines produced from today. ”

"What do you mean?" Scott Forsdale obviously heard something from the few orders issued by Tim Cook, and looked at the domineering president hesitantly and asked.

"It's the evening in Huaxia, and in eight hours, I'll have the Asia branch talk about whether I can buy the system completely. This is probably the best thing to do now. Tim Cook calmly spoke up about his decision.

"You mean to abandon our IOS system completely?" Scott Forsdale was puzzled, Tim Cook's decision was indeed unexpected, but it seemed reasonable.

"That's right! I hope we are the first to show sincerity! Tim Cook nodded and stood up directly, "I believe that the whole world thinks that the most hesitant thing now is our Apple company, which is indeed a difficult point, but maybe no one would have thought that we would abandon IOS so simply, so we must act quickly, and it is best to buy this system before anyone else reacts!" ”

Scott Forsdale didn't say anything. Although he was reluctant, he knew that perhaps Tim Cook had made the right decision. Of course, he could understand Tim Cook's thoughts. After all, Apple isn't in as much of a place as it might be famous.

Although the revenue statement for the first quarter of 2015 was released, Apple's profit even exceeded expectations, but in the stock market, Apple's stock price fell by four percent, you must know that Apple is the world's largest company by market capitalization, and a drop of five percent means that nearly 30 billion market value has evaporated out of thin air.

The reason for this is that investors are not optimistic about Apple's innovation ability, which is also the most criticized point of Apple under Tim Cook's helm. Although Apple's profitability has increased every year since Tim Cook took charge of Apple, everyone seems to think that he is eating from Jobs's old book. Investors are worried about what will happen to Apple in the future without the ability to innovate.

This seems to be the case, because in the current situation, if one day Apple products are not popular and sell well, where will Apple make profits? And now there seems to be a sign that the Chinese system seems to have the ability to turn decay into magic, which can make a copycat machine bring users the experience of an Apple mobile phone, how can this not make Tim Cook not make a decision early?

Now it is estimated that everyone is watching Apple's response, although in the stock market these days, Apple's stock price has only fallen slightly, but once the response is not good, Huaxia's system is officially listed, the impact on Apple can be imagined, which may be the first reason why Tim Cook made up his mind.
