Giant of the times

Many Americans didn't pay attention to Apple's iPhone launch event last night, but by the next day, they all learned about the iPhone from newspapers, the Internet, TV or word-of-mouth.

At the same time, news that the iPhone was popular in the United States quickly spread to countries around the world.

Countless netizens abroad have commented on Chronos Li, hoping that Apple can sell iPhone smartphones in their countries.

Among them, Chinese netizens said: "Is such an awesome mobile phone a black technology? Why is it only sold in the United States? It's unfair. What do we Chinese users think of us?!"

"Chronos Li, you are still not Chinese, hurry up and get us millions of iPhones, otherwise the boat of our friendship will overturn!"

…

Li Zetian looked at his Weibo and couldn't complain in his heart. Damn it, so many people are "eating" me and 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. Americans can afford mobile phones, and the 3G network is relatively mature. If it were sold in China, there would definitely be very few people buying it. If they jumped on it, how embarrassing would it be...

Li Zetian took out his iPhone, opened Weibo, and updated a message.

"Dear, don't worry, Ant Factory produces tens of millions of units per month and has strong production capacity. You will soon be able to buy iPhones through multiple channels..."

As soon as this news was released, it was immediately reposted by netizens.

"Haha, Chronos Li is so funny, dear??? Haha, you are so kind to call me~~ Well, seeing as your attitude is so sincere, we forgive you!"

“Dear, please ship the goods as soon as possible, we can’t wait!!”

"Dear, are you a tease sent by Monkey?"

"..."

Countless netizens interacted with Chronos·Li on Weibo. The scene was so irritating that I couldn’t bear to watch it.

Other mobile phone manufacturers want to curse!

In fact, they are just envious and jealous.

In less than a week, 8 million iPhones were sold out in the United States.

At this time, some media reported that there were netizens auctioning iPhones on the eBay website. The 4GB version was priced at US$1,600 and the 8GB version was priced at US$2,000.

The original price of the 4GB iPhone is US$799, but it makes US$800 when it is resold, which is more profitable than Apple.

Netizens shouted, "Oh my God, scalpers, I'll kneel down to you. How dare you sell it at such a high price? You are still not human!!!"

Not to mention, people are actually buying it, and demand exceeds supply!

Soon, the prices of iPhones listed on the eBay website became more and more expensive, and even the 8GB version of the iPhone was sold for $5,000!

By August, Ant Factory produced 10 million iPhones. This time, only 3 million units were allocated to the United States, 4 million units in Europe, 1 million units in China, and 800,000 units per day...

You know, the iPhone is popular all over the world and has become a fashion. In addition, the iPhone is expensive and can be used to show off, show off, and give you face. It is highly sought after by people in the United States and even the world.

Everyone has been waiting eagerly for a month, and many people even 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 crazy buying. There were long queues outside stores everywhere. It was so spectacular! ! ! In less than two weeks, the 10 million iPhones were sold out.

At this time, netizens began to complain again, asking Apple to produce more iPhones.

Alas, there are only exhausted cows and unplowed fields, and the production capacity of 10 million per month cannot feed you~~~What else can Li Zetian say?

Apple and Li Zetian can only feel pain and happiness.

Of course, for other mobile phone manufacturers, it is really only painful, and it is heartbreaking!

The iPhone was a hit, and sales of mobile phones from Nokia, Ericsson, Motorola and other companies all plummeted. The Nokia N70 sold well before, with 4 million units sold in June alone. However, in July, only 750,000 units were sold. By August, sales were even lower.

Are all manufacturers sitting back and waiting for death? Of course it is impossible. A large number of mobile phone manufacturers such as Nokia are working hard at this moment and 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 it support touch operations?

Nokia has always been the major shareholder of Symbian. This time, Nokia decided to acquire Symbian in order to compete with iPhone smartphones and iOS mobile phone systems.

On August 15, Nokia held a press conference. The company's chairman announced: "Nokia will work with Sony Ericsson, Motorola, NTT DoCoMo and other companies to form a new open mobile software platform and integrate the current Symbian OS. , S60, UIQ, MOAP system.

In addition to the above four companies, Nokia will also join forces with AT\u0026T, LG, Samsung, STMicroelectronics, Texas Instruments and Vodafone to form a non-profit Symbian Foundation to promote the new Symbian 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 fully acquire all Symbian shares currently held by Ericsson, Panasonic, Samsung, Siemens and Sony Ericsson, making Symbian a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nokia! ! ! "

As soon as the press conference ended, it immediately caused shock in the industry!

Obviously, the giants are doing this to fight against Apple, use the same open approach to solve the gaps between various versions of Symbian systems, and join forces to compete in the market!

Li Zetian was quite shocked when he heard the news, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt it was natural.

In the previous life, Nokia itself was the industry leader. As an industry leader, it was natural that it was very pretentious and even arrogant. Apple launched a multi-touch screen mobile phone at that time. Nokia looked down on it and refused to transform. It eventually lost its way and declined.

But in this life, Nokia has become the company's second best. The boss is Apple, and the iPhone is selling so hot right now. Of course Nokia will think of transformation. Therefore, acquiring Symbian, developing mobile operating systems, and uniting many mobile phone manufacturers to fight against Apple, this is what Nokia is currently doing!

However, many netizens are not optimistic about the alliance formed by Nokia, Ericsson and other companies. They joked: "The alliance has a purpose. The most popular mobile application software is Chronos·Li's industry. If he does not let these companies become Symbian System development software, do you think you can sell it?!"

"Haha, Chronos·Li will definitely say arrogantly, 'I am not your Nokia trash, but all the mobile phone manufacturers in the alliance are trash!!!'"

“Sit back and watch the iPhone conquer the world!”

"..."

The netizen's words caused concern among mobile phone manufacturers in the Symbian Alliance. Nokia held a meeting with other companies to discuss the matter.

Someone said: "Chronos·Li cannot dominate the sky with one hand. There are many competitors on the Internet. We can definitely win over these Internet companies. Although it will still have some impact on sales, it is at least a solution! Of course, if The Internet company under Li Zetian's name is willing to develop application software for our mobile phones, which is of course the best! Besides, is Chronos·Li worried about other application software becoming bigger and stronger on Symbian system mobile phones?"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Haha, yes, Chronos·Li must also be afraid that other software will develop and grow, thereby taking away the mobile Internet market share!"

The chairman of Nokia realized his research and burst into laughter: "Haha, so to speak, Chronos Li will definitely give in to us! When I think of his deflated look, I feel like Trump!"

Everyone couldn't help laughing when they heard this.

But, is Chronos Li just the kind of person who gives in?
