Chapter 312 [Whoever releases it first is a huge advantage]

There is no digging Apple's industrial design talents, it is really to "collide" the rhythm, because the appearance of the prototype industrial design and iPhone4 are more than 90% similar, but now iPhone4 has not been released, and it will not be released until June or July this year.

And the prototype that Fang Hong is holding in his hand now looks like an appearance, covering the trademark of Xingyu Technology, and it is too similar to iPhone4 without careful observation of the details, I have to say that iPhone4 is indeed a legendary work in the field of smartphone industrial design.

Fang Hong looked at the prototype in his hand again, and now the smartphones on the market, their appearance is basically relatively rounded, and the corners are smooth, in fact, this is a very good experience for consumers.

But the appearance design of this prototype is different from those mobile phones on the market, its corners are more similar to right angles, and the current rounded aesthetic is incompatible, especially in the color of black and white, the visual impact is also obvious.

Both the back and the front of the phone are flat, and there will be no rear camera protruding beyond the flat surface of the case, which can be called a blessing for obsessive-compulsive patients, and the case is also made of tempered glass, compared with the smartphones on the market now, its appearance industrial design is very recognizable.

Holding this prototype, the recognizable appearance is a uniqueness that distinguishes it from other mobile phones.

Fang Hong looked at the prototype in his hand without saying a word, no surprise, this product will definitely form a bond with Apple when it is released, and a lawsuit or something is indispensable.

Internationally, Apple should have registered a patent for appearance, but it has not yet passed in China, the patent is territorial, and the country or region in which the patent is applied for, it is protected in which country or region, so the patent applied for abroad will not be protected in China.

In addition, the appearance of the prototype is not completely mirrored with the iPhone, first of all, the size of the screen, the proportion of screen size, etc. are different, so even if there is a lawsuit, there will be nonsense.

Fang Hong immediately asked: "By the way, has you applied for a design patent?" ”

Qin Feng nodded and smiled: "That's for sure, it was done half a year ago, but the scope is limited to the mainland." ”

Hearing this, Fang Hong's only trace of worry was swept away, then it's okay, it's good to get it done in the mainland, there is a good show to watch now, as for foreign countries, it doesn't matter, anyway, Xingyu Technology will not focus on foreign markets for a while, and it is right not to apply.

Not surprisingly, at the end of June this year, Apple's press conference will launch iPhone4, if after the iPhone4 conference opens, Xingyu Technology is releasing its own products, it will definitely be criticized for plagiarizing Apple's products, and there will be lawsuits and lip prowess.

Therefore, it is necessary to rush before the release of Apple's iphone4, and the development conference is one step ahead, even then it will definitely form a bond with Apple, and then the two sides will definitely have to talk and lawsuit disputes on the issue of industrial design.

But as long as the product is released in advance of Apple, it is the original of Xingyu Technology, and the mainland has also solved the patent problem, but it is Apple that plagiarizes, no matter what, as long as Xingyu Technology takes out the product first, it is an advantage.

Fang Hong put away his thoughts and immediately woke up the screen, and then began to further experience the actual use of this prototype, and asked while experiencing: "Operating system...... tos? ”

Hearing this, Qin Feng replied: "This operating system, we named it 'Taiji', that is, 'Taiji--System', that is, the TOS system. ”

After experiencing this mobile phone, Fang Hong simply commented: "Yes, frankly speaking, the company can make the first product like this under the existing conditions, which has greatly exceeded my expectations, especially the function of the operating system is more perfect than I imagined, and the fluency is very high, although it is not as good as Apple's iOS system, but it is slightly better than the Android system, and my expectation is that it is not weaker than the Android system." ”

Qin Feng was also very happy to hear the evaluation of the gold owner's father, because he knew that Fang Hong's insights and cognition in the IT field far exceeded the so-called vast majority of insiders, and his evaluation was very golden.

Fang Hong further experienced this new product prototype, and compared it with the iphone4 in his previous life, there is still a gap between this mobile phone and iphone4, because iphone4 has created many firsts, and it has also made the smartphone industry begin to "roll".

For example, the iPhone 4 is the first mobile phone to put forward the concept of "retina screen", which opened the prelude to the mobile phone's soaring resolution; The first mobile phone with a back-illuminated camera opened the prelude to the mobile phone spelling aperture and night shooting; The first mobile phone with a gyroscope, a whole new mobile gaming experience, and more.

Moreover, the iOS system has a super high degree of fluency, almost killing all operating systems in the same period.

At the end, Fang Hong looked at Qin Feng and asked, "When is the date of the press conference?" ”

The name of the company's first smartphone was named [Xingyu-S1], in which the letter "S" represents the company's name, and the Arabic numerals after it represent the first generation of the product.

When asked about the date of S1's press conference, Qin Feng immediately replied: "It is tentatively scheduled for this autumn." ”

As soon as he heard this time window, Fang Hong immediately rejected it and said: "No, the press conference must be held in the window period of about two months in the next two months, otherwise it will be troublesome." ”

As soon as these words came out, Qin Feng's face was puzzled and he wanted to stop talking, what if he said that he would not interfere in the company's operations? And that's where it begins? If you change it in a word, you will directly disrupt all the company's established plans.

Fang Hong also read his thoughts from Qin Feng's expression, and immediately said: "I said, you are the founder and head of Xingyu Technology, I don't interfere with your decision, I will do it when I say it, but I will tell you another thing about the date of the press conference, you will make the decision." ”

Qin Feng was surprised: "Another thing? ”

Fang Hong said in an orderly manner: "I learned some news from Apple's company from other sources, to be precise, the news of their iphone series of new products iPhone4, and the appearance of the industrial design of iPhone4 is more than 90% similar to your S1, according to the news I learned, if there is no accident, iPhone4 should be on sale at the end of June this year, if you are scheduled to hold a product launch conference in the autumn, what dilemma will S1 face at that time, I think you should also be very clear." ”

"What β€”β€”?" Qin Feng, who heard this, was shocked on the spot, was stunned for a moment and quickly came back to his senses, and hurriedly said, "You mean...... The industrial design of the iPhone4 is more than 90% similar to my S1? How credible is this news? ”

This news was too shocking for Qin Feng, and he instantly realized that if this was true, after the iPhone came out, Xingyu Technology would release the S1 product, and it would definitely be labeled as "copycat" and "plagiarism", which was definitely a heavy blow.

Because Apple is powerful, Xingyu Technology has only been established for about a year, and there are still a group of public intellectuals who will selectively go blind, which will inevitably devalue Xingyu Technology's products to nothing.

Fang Hong replied with a calm face: "If it weren't for rigor, I would say that the reliability of this news is 100%. ”

As for the source, he definitely didn't need to explain too much to Qin Feng, and he would never have thought that Fang Hong's source was a memory of his previous life, and he would only think that he had unknown connections to be able to learn about Apple's internal trade secrets.

After receiving Fang Hong's answer with such certainty, Qin Feng paused for two seconds and then changed his mind on the spot: "The date of the press conference has to be changed, it must be changed, how about adjusting the autumn to the spring, and it will be set in March?" ”

Fang Hong couldn't help but smile in his heart when he heard this, knowing that he would make such a decision.

Qin Feng immediately looked at Fang Hong and wanted to listen to the advice from the gold master's father, the news of the iphone4 was too important, fortunately, the gold master's father got such important business information at this critical moment.

Released before Apple, then Xingyu Technology is absolutely original, the unfavorable situation will disappear, and even the poles will be reversed, the Apple company is uncomfortable and passive.

Qin Feng also calculated the time in his heart, judging by the reliable news revealed by Fang Hong, if the iPhone4 is released at the end of June this year, I am afraid that mass production has begun at this time.

In other words, even if Apple wants to change and cancel the reconstruction, it is impossible because it has already begun to be put into mass production, and it is estimated that there are already a lot of goods off the production line.

Don't you want to recycle them all? How big is that loss? Even if the Qiao gang leader wants to put aside an idea, he will not be able to deal with Apple's board of directors at that time, so he can only release it head-on.

At that time, Apple will be uncomfortable, and no amount of quibbling will be able to change the fact that Xingyu Technology will release the product months in advance, that is to say, iPhone4 is not the first in industrial design, it is plagiarized from Xingyu Technology.

Anyway, if you insist on your own words, you will have a war of words!

But at this moment, Fang Hong nodded and said, "In March, there is only about one or two months of preparation time, can you have time to adjust?" ”

Qin Feng said without hesitation: "Time is indeed very tight, but it must be done, this matter is not negotiable, it must be in time before the iPhone4, otherwise I would rather kill the S1 and redesign." ”

What he said was extremely firm, which made the father of the gold owner very satisfied, and it was right to have such determination and decisiveness!

After a while, Fang Hong asked again, "What about the production capacity of S1?" What's going on now? ”
