Chapter 933: The Formation of the Anti-Dragon Teng Camp Group
"Apple, which has never been involved in the field of communications, is still thinking about making a mobile phone? What a joke! What can you do with this phone without a keyboard? Does a $549 mobile phone really have consumers buying? ”
"Is Apple crazy about money, they must think that they can get the market share of smartphones by relying on Longteng? 20 free games, who doesn't know that the wool comes out of the sheep? Consumers will ultimately have to pay for these apps! ”
"Longteng's business strategy is also problematic, a few years ago they cooperated with Ericsson to set up LongEricsson, and later spun off, and they took the LongGamePhone game phone to operate, but they used the Android system. Now that Apple has launched a closed IOS Apple system, I really don't understand what they think. ”
Representatives of several Taiwanese smartphone makers whispered in the audience, with mixed feelings about the quality of Apple's phones as much as possible and concerns about their own companies' operations.
Longteng and Apple have set off a bloody storm on the computer operating system in recent years, and an Android has squeezed into the mobile terminal market, and Symbian, Microsoft has formed a three-strong pattern, most of their Taiwanese mobile phone manufacturers are to Nokia, Microsoft, Palm, Motorola, these companies do OEM, all three systems have been dealt with, and the response to the market is the most sensitive.
In their opinion, Nokia is the most influential, Microsoft is the richest, Android is the most open-source, Microsoft and Android are second only to Symbian in the second echelon, and now there is a new force IOS, and it is conceivable that this market will become more chaotic.
Their Taiwanese OEM manufacturers don't like this kind of mess the most. Confusion means that there are too many options, which means that if you are on the wrong team. Invest a lot of money into a certain camp, and it will not be convenient to transform if the situation is not right in the future. The cost of their OEM business will be very high!
In addition to OEMs disliking Apple's phones, smartphone makers such as Nokia and BlackBerry are even more hostile to Apple.
The Game Developers Conference was held in Sweden, and Nokia from Finland and Sharp Ericsson from Sweden sent personnel to participate.
Especially Sharp Ericsson, his feelings for Longteng slowly changed from the previous neutrality to a hostile state.
The relationship between the two companies is like the relationship between men and women, and the two sides are you and I are in the honeymoon period. 100 according to 100 smooth, but once they broke up, they couldn't even be friends, Ericsson, who changed the master, hated digging a pit to make them jump Longteng, and today's Jobs's Iphone made it impossible for Ericsson and Longteng to reconcile.
At this time, the representative of Nokia and the representative of Sharp Ericsson were standing together, and the two sides were also in hostile competition before, but now they suddenly came out with a strong apple, and the two sides tacitly stood on the same side.
"This iPhone can't even change the battery, I really don't see where its selling point is."
"3.5 inch capacitive screen. Hum! With such a large power-consuming device, why didn't Jobs mention its standby time? The maximum standby time is 250 hours, which is the same as the Samsung Blackjack, but it is not even half of the BlackBerry's 528-hour standby time! Is this really a business PDA phone? ”
"7 hours of continuous video playback. Playing audio songs for 24 hours in a row, it's better to be an enhanced version of an iPod player than a smartphone. Longteng is selling dog meat on the head of a sheep, and the sky-high price of $549 is absolutely impossible to have a market. I bet! ”
There was disdain in the eyes of several of them, and their tones were frivolous. They are betting that there are absolutely no consumers who buy the Iphone, as if they have forgotten who poured a bucket of ice water on themselves in front of the public in the morning, and they stared at Steve Jobs on the Longteng booth with hatred, with resentment in criticism and a hint of jealousy towards their peers.
"Everyone, if you have time, can you enjoy your face and have a cup of coffee together?" A representative claiming to be Microsoft approached and invited representatives from Nokia and Ericsson.
The few people who were talking looked at each other, although a little reluctantly, but in the face of the menacing threat of a new rival, it was an unwise choice to refuse the invitation of the old rival - and thus a small circle of the mobile phone industry was formed.
This also shows in disguise the pressure brought to them by Longteng and Apple, in the face of the soaring development of Apple's mobile phone, former competitors have to join forces to boycott Apple, for them, Longteng is a big cancer in the industry, because no matter which industry the Chinese enter, which industry will soon be occupied by the Chinese!
At the booth, it came to the most critical moment that Jobs for the price of the iphone for sale.
The 4G version is $549, the 8G version is $649, and after Jobs announced, there was some discussion on the scene, but it didn't stop the fans, at least the response was extremely enthusiastic.
Jobs hasn't finished introducing the full features of the phone, and some consumers can't wait to contact Longteng's employees, hoping to buy an Apple phone.
"Mr. Yang, your decision is really wise." Zhao Yongping, who was standing behind the projector on the second floor, saw the hot scene and praised it, it turned out that these two prices were not too outrageous, and he finally put his mind at ease.
Yang Yun smiled slightly: "It's not that I'm wise, but I understand what consumers need." In many cases, as long as we think about the problem from a different angle, we can firmly grasp the trend of the market and be loved by them. What do you think are the most popular with them? ”
Zhao Yongping said: "As a business person, the first point is of course the call time, the second point is the large screen, I think the battery life is not important, the current mobile phone is charged once in 3 days is too normal, I think the integrated non-removable battery is not a shortcoming." ”
Yang Yun nodded, in his impression, the biggest disadvantage of Apple's mobile phone is that it consumes a lot of power, playing games, watching videos, and reading novels on the big screen, and basically has to be charged every day.
He has very high requirements for Apple's battery, and Jobs's mention is very much in line with his idea, that is, he controls the battery safety and battery capacity by himself, and does not allow third-party battery manufacturers to provide universal batteries, which can further improve the battery life of Apple's mobile phone, and the more likely it will be that Apple's mobile phone will become the second generation of LongGamePhone - no one likes to play games when the battery suddenly runs out, this feature has been there since the GameBoy era.
Zhao continued: "In addition, the combination of the closed IOS system and APPStore allows players to safely use and download all kinds of software and read all kinds of texts. This is different from the open Android, which is more secure and reliable for business people, and among the various PDA products using Symbian and Microsoft systems, only the iPhone has this security guarantee, which is also a very big selling point. ”
"That's right, mobile phone security will be paid more and more attention by consumers in the next few years, mobile phone viruses, system vulnerabilities, streaming software, business people don't need so many risks."
Yang Yun was the first person to think of this, I really haven't heard of mobile phone viruses in these years, because the Internet is still at the 2G level, and business people with Blackberry mobile phones are at most emailing, chatting LC, or talking about Microsoft's MSN, all kinds of application software involving credit cards, credit, finance and other fields have not yet been popularized, so there are very few viruses.
But smartphones are no different from personal computers, there are vulnerabilities in an operating system, the more open the system has more vulnerabilities, Apple took the lead in packaging IOS, and everything is controlled by itself, and the performance of mobile phones will be greatly improved, and taking precautions is Yang Yun's favorite thing to do.
Zhao Yongping said: "2G network email, SMS to add small pixel pictures, navigation function, 5 million pixel camera, I think if even this can not attract consumers, it can only mean that people in this world do not know the goods!" ”
"Haha! Yongping, it's serious! ”
Yang Yun laughed, his proudest place was here, because he once again gave full play to the advantages of the reborn, adding these functions that Zhao Yongping admired and admired the most.
A year ago, Steve Jobs showed Yang Yun a prototype of Apple, and his plan was to launch the iPhone worldwide in early 2007.
Yang Yun briefly played with the mobile phone, and then asked a few questions, the first of which was: "Is the camera really enough for 2 million pixels?" ”
Jobs asked, "Do you need higher pixels?" ”
Yang Yun nodded: "Nokia N73 has just been launched in the summer, its main camera is a 3.2 million pixel Carl Zeiss optical lens, and you plan to launch a 2 million pixel Apple in half a year, what are you planning to do?" The most advanced Apple phone, with a garbage that has eliminated generations of outdated similar products? If it's 2 million pixels, I'd rather do away with the camera feature. ”
Jobs was a little difficult to answer, because the camera was not what he valued the most, and the camera was a big power guster, which had a big impact on the battery life.
In addition, Longteng does not have a top lens supplier like Carl Zeiss and Leica, and the processing of Apple's IOS system in the camera software is not good, and it can't be taken immediately, but like N73, it takes a second or two to press the camera button to react, and what you see may not be what you shoot.
In this way, the mobile phone camera function is very chicken, but now the mainstream mobile phones all have the camera function, Jobs is ready to use 2 million on the first generation to make do with a period of time, and replace it with a better one when the second generation is developed.
Yang Yunke has carefully investigated Nokia's product line, and he knows that Nokia is now developing the N95 model, and he remembers very much how popular this machine is. (To be continued......)
