There were many Americans who didn't pay attention to Apple's iPhone launch last night, but the next day, they all learned about the iPhone from newspapers, the Internet, TV, or word of mouth.
At the same time, the news that the iPhone was popular in the United States quickly spread all over the world.
Countless foreign netizens have "Aite" Chronos Li, hoping that in their country, Apple can also sell iPhone smart phones.
Among them, Chinese netizens said: "Is such a cool mobile phone a black technology? Why is it only sold in the United States? It's not fair, what are our Chinese users?!"
"Chronos Li, you are still not Chinese, hurry up and get us millions of iPhones, otherwise, the boat of our friendship will be overturned!"
…
Li Zetian looked at his Weibo, and couldn't help but complain, Nima, so many people "Aite" me, scolding me, what's wrong with me, it makes sense for Apple to choose to launch the iPhone in the United States, it's so expensive Mobile phones have been consumed by Americans, and the development of 3G networks is relatively mature. If it is released in China, there must be very few people who buy it.
Li Zetian took out his iPhone, opened Weibo, and updated a message.
"Dear, don't worry, the ant factory produces tens of millions of units per month, and the production capacity is strong. You will soon be able to buy iPhones through various channels..."
As soon as the news was released, it was immediately reposted by netizens.
"Haha, Chronos Li is so funny, dear??? Hehe, the people who are called are so kind~~ Well, since your attitude is so sincere, we forgive you!"
"Dear, hurry up and ship, we can't wait!!"
"Darling, are you the joker B sent by the monkey?"
"… "
Countless netizens interacted with Chronos · Li on Weibo. This scene is so eye-catching that they can't bear to look directly.
All other mobile phone manufacturers want to curse!
In fact, they are also envious and jealous.
In less than a week, 8 million iPhones were sold out in the United States.
At this time, there were media reports that some netizens auctioned the iPhone on the eBay website. The 4GB version was priced at $1,600, and the 8GB version was priced at $2,000.
The original price of the 4GB version of the iPhone is $799, and it makes $800 when it changes hands, which is more money than Apple.
Netizens shouted, "My God, scalpers, can I kneel for you, how dare you sell such a high price, you are not human!!!"
Not to mention, some people really buy it, and it is still in short supply!
Soon, the prices of iPhones listed on eBay became more and more expensive, and even the 8GB version of the iPhone was sold for $5,000!
By August, the Ant Factory had produced 10 million iPhones. This time, only 3 million were allocated to the United States, 4 million to Europe, 1 million to China, and 800,000 to Japan...
You must know that the iPhone is popular all over the world and has become a fashion. In addition, the price of the iPhone is expensive. When you use it, you can show off, pretend to be aggressive, and have a lot of face. It is very popular in the United States and even all over the world.
Everyone was eagerly waiting. After waiting for a month, many people also made a special trip to save money to buy an iPhone.
No, as soon as the iPhone was launched in various countries around the world, it immediately attracted frantic buying. Outside the stores all over the world were densely packed with long queues. How spectacular! ! ! The 10 million iPhones sold out in less than two weeks.
At this time, netizens began to complain again, asking Apple to produce more iPhones.
Alas, there are only exhausted cows and no ploughed fields. The monthly production capacity of 10 million cannot feed you all. What else can Li Zetian say
Apple and Li Zetian can only suffer and be happy.
Of course, for other mobile phone manufacturers, it is really only painful, and it is heart-wrenching!
The iPhone was a big hit, and all mobile phone sales from Nokia, Ericsson, Motorola and other companies plummeted. The Nokia N70 sold well before, with 4 million units sold in June alone, but only 750,000 units were sold in July. By August, sales were even lower.
Are manufacturers sitting still? Of course, it is impossible. A large number of mobile phone manufacturers such as Nokia Corporation are working hard at this moment, and they are also preparing to develop touch-screen mobile phones.
Obviously, touch screen mobile phones are very different from traditional smart phones. Among them, the mobile phone operating system is the key. Otherwise, how can touch operations be supported
Nokia has always been a major shareholder of Symbian. This time, Nokia decided to acquire Symbian in order to fight against iPhone and iOS.
On August 15, Nokia held a press conference, and the company's chairman announced: "Nokia, together with Sony Ericsson, Motorola, and NTT DoCoMo, will form a new open mobile software platform that integrates the current Symbian OS. , S60, UIQ, MOAP system.
In addition to the above four companies, Nokia will also join forces with AT&T, LG, Samsung, STMicroelectronics, Texas Instruments and Vodafone to form the non-profit Saipan Foundation to promote the new Saipan mobile operation to the world with an open attitude System platform.
In order to realize the establishment of the foundation, Nokia decided to spend 264 million euros to acquire all the shares of Saipan currently held by Ericsson, Panasonic, Samsung, Siemens and Sony Ericsson, making Saipan a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nokia! ! ! "
As soon as the press conference ended, it immediately caused a shock in the industry!
Obviously, the giants' move is to fight against Apple, solve the gap between the various versions of Symbian in the same open way, and join forces to compete in the market!
Li Zetian was also quite shocked to hear this news, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt it was a matter of course.
In the previous life, Nokia itself was the industry leader. As the industry leader, it was naturally very hypocritical, even invincible. Apple launched a multi-touch screen mobile phone at that time. Nokia looked down on it, and just didn’t want to transform, and eventually lost and declined.
But in this life, Nokia has become the second child of the company. The boss is Apple, and now the iPhone is selling so well, Nokia will of course think of transformation. Therefore, acquiring Saipan, developing a mobile operating system, and uniting many mobile phone manufacturers to fight against Apple, this is what Nokia is doing now!
However, many netizens are not optimistic about the alliance formed by Nokia, Ericsson and other companies, and said with a smile: "The alliance has an egg. The most popular mobile application software is all Chronos Li's industry. If he does not let these companies become Saipan System development software, do you want to sell it?!"
"Hehe, Chronos Li will definitely say arrogantly, 'I am not your Nokia rubbish, but all the mobile phone manufacturers in the alliance are rubbish!!!'"
"Sit and watch the iPhone smash the world!"
"… "
Netizens' words aroused concern among mobile phone manufacturers in the Saipan Alliance. Nokia held a meeting with other companies to discuss the matter.
Someone said: "Chronos Li can't cover the sky with one hand. There are many competitors on the Internet. We can win over these Internet companies. Although there is still some impact on sales, it is at least a solution! Of course, if The Internet company under the name of Li Zetian is willing to develop application software for our mobile phones, which is of course the best! Besides, is Chronos Li worried that other application software will become bigger and stronger on Symbian mobile phones?"
Everyone nodded in agreement.
"Oh, yes, Chronos Li must also be afraid that other software will grow and take away the mobile Internet market share!"
The chairman of Nokia's research brightened, and he laughed: "Haha, so Chronos Li will definitely give in to us! When I think of his shriveled appearance, I feel like TRUMPF!"
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help laughing.
It's just, is Chronos Li just the kind of person who will give in
