On the phone, Li Zetian communicated with the CEO of Chronos Energy for more than ten minutes, and confirmed the research and development of the power bank.
The next period of time is to wait for the release of the iPhone.
Before that, Li Zetian thought about it, discussed it with Jobs, and decided to let people secretly put the iPhone's appearance photos on the Internet, causing controversy and warming up the iPhone in advance.
In the first half of the year, Nokia has released several new mobile phones, and Apple should also show its fists, otherwise it will not be looked down upon by others
Apple bought some advertisements on the Internet, and soon, the appearance of the iPhone was discovered by netizens.
"Is this a mobile phone? Why is there no button?"
"Fuck, this shape is really cool, full of technology, but how can you make calls without a keyboard?"
"This new phone from Apple should be using a touchscreen where users can dial by pressing keys!"
"Touch screen phone! I'm going, the high-end atmosphere is high-end!!!"
"Hehe, in fact, this mobile phone of Apple is not the first touch-screen mobile phone in the world. Motorola has launched a touch-screen mobile phone called Motorola A6188 as early as December 1999, which has game software and WAP browser. , E-Mail, calendar, computer, alarm clock, notepad, electronic dictionary, etc. However, these types of mobile phones are very expensive, flashy, and the touch screen is not as easy to use as the small keyboard. Therefore, the Motorola A6188 mobile phone was thrown... Hehe, Apple is also making these kind of touch screen phones, which is definitely a big failure!"
"Hey, hearing what you said, it seems to make sense! It's not good enough to have a beautiful phone, it must be easy to use, otherwise no one will buy it, at least I won't buy it! Speaking of which, Apple has been in business for a year. There are so many new products released, Apple fans are looking forward to it, and it is really disappointing that such a thing comes out!"
"… "
The exposure of the iPhone on the Internet naturally attracted the attention of mobile phone manufacturers such as Nokia, Ericsson, and Motorola.
The chairman of Nokia smacked his tongue secretly and said, "The amazing craftsmanship design really makes people's eyes shine, but I don't know what the function and price are..." At this moment, he couldn't help but feel a little worried.
"Hehe, Chairman, you don't have to worry at all! You know, not only did Motorola fail to develop touch-screen phones, but even the touch-screen phones we developed before Nokia failed. What does this mean... It means that consumers simply don't like this Such a touch-screen phone!" A middle-aged man with a high nose bridge and big eyebrows laughed, "Apple's development of a touch-screen phone is tantamount to suicide. Nokia surpassed Apple and became the world's largest mobile phone manufacturer. , just around the corner!!!"
"Yes, Vice President Kyle is right, Apple is asking for its own death!"
"Haha, do you want to open champagne to celebrate!!"
"Of course!" Everyone laughed and nodded.
The chairman of Nokia saw the high confidence of everyone, and he also seemed to see Nokia's aspiration to become the hegemon of mobile phone manufacturers. His old face full of frowns showed a rosy color.
…
The industry and the media are underestimating the iPhone, which is understandable, because they don't understand the iPhone. Previously, various mobile phone manufacturers did launch touch-screen mobile phones, but they were all single-point touch screens, which were completely different from "multi-touch"! In addition, the iPhone's powerful functions and content ecosystem are not comparable to those of mobile phones.
At present, there are many people who mock the iPhone, but there are still many Apple fans who are full of confidence in the iPhone, especially some consumers who like the appearance. They can't wait to buy an iPhone and go home now.
"Many people on the Internet slander the iPhone, and other mobile phone manufacturing companies must have hired navy!"
"Well, these people are lying! I think other mobile phone manufacturers are envious and hateful, afraid that the iPhone will take away their market share!"
"Hehe, no matter what others say, I like this phone, I'm a good-looking phone!!!"
…
On the morning of June 18, a large group of reporters descended under the Apple building to interview Jobs about the iPhone.
"Jobs, why did the iPhone make such a bold design, don't you know that there is no market for touch screen phones?"
"Mr. Jobs, please don't go, please answer our questions!"
Jobs' face was calm, and under the protection of the company's security, he walked into the company without paying any attention to the reporter!
Before the press conference, Jobs would never introduce the functions of the iPhone in detail. It would be better not to talk about it than to talk about it, which could arouse everyone's curiosity and discussion. On the day of the press conference, he would give everyone a huge surprise.
The reporters watched Jobs go away, sighed, and then left one by one.
Then European media reporters interviewed the chairman of Nokia and asked: "Mr. Marlowe, hello, many people are not optimistic about Apple's iPhone. As the chairman of Nokia, what do you think of the iPhone?"
The chairman of Nokia said lightly: "The price of the touch screen is very expensive, so the iPhone will not be cheap. I think Apple pays too much attention to the appearance, but ignores the fundamentals of the mobile phone! The mobile phone is used to make calls, she is A tool for people-to-people communication, making some sensational things is unpleasant! The iPhone may be questioned by everyone for this reason! Nokia's purpose is to provide users with the best and most stable functions and the cheapest price. We want to make mobile phones affordable for the vast majority of people!"
"For example, in April this year, the first-generation flagship product of the Nokia N series, the N70, was very popular, and more than 3 million units were sold in just a few months! The Nokia N70 combines fashion, functions, and business features in All in one, it can be called a flagship product..." The chairman of Nokia said, and began to advertise his own products, eloquently and endlessly.
The reporters are speechless. I know your Nokia N70 is awesome. Now I'm asking you what do you think of Apple's iPhone...
After a while, the chairman of Nokia said the iPhone again.
"Nokia N70 is so good, but it's $400, hehe, I'm curious how much the iPhone will cost..."
When he said the last sentence, the corner of the Nokia chairman's mouth rose, with a hint of teasing in his tone.
The reporters' eyes lit up and asked, "Mr. Marlowe, you mean that the iPhone is not as good as the N70, but the price may be more expensive than the N70?"
The chairman of Nokia laughed without saying a word, but this attitude was obviously tacit.
The reporters returned to the company and immediately wrote their articles.
"Shocked! The chairman of Nokia Corporation commented on Apple's iPhone like this!!!"
"It's really shocking! The chairman of Nokia Corporation actually said such things in front of reporters!"
