Chapter 474 Sarcasm (first update)
On the phone, Li Zetian communicated with the CEO of Chronos Energy Company for more than ten minutes, and confirmed the research and development of the power bank.

In the next period of time, it is waiting for the release of the iPhone.

Before that, Li Zetian thought about it, discussed it with Jobs, and decided to let people secretly put photos of the iPhone's appearance on the Internet, which caused controversy and warmed up the iPhone in advance.

In the first half of the year, Nokia has released several new mobile phones, and it's time for Apple to show its fists, or else it will be underestimated?

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?"

"Holy shit, this shape is really cool, full of sense of technology, but how do you make a call without a keyboard?"

"Apple's new phone is supposed to use a touch screen, and users can press buttons on the touch screen to dial!"

"Touch screen mobile phone! I'll go, high-end atmosphere and high-grade!!!"

"Hehe, in fact, Apple's mobile phone is not the world's first touch-screen mobile phone. Motorola launched a touch-screen mobile phone called Motorola A1999 as early as December 12. It has game software and a WAP browser. , E-Mail, calendar, computer, alarm clock, notepad, electronic dictionary, etc. However, this type of mobile phone is very expensive, flashy, and the touch screen is not as easy to use as a small keyboard. Therefore, the Motorola A6188 mobile phone rushed... …Hehe, Apple also produces this kind of touch screen mobile phone, which is definitely a big failure!"

"Hey, hearing what you said, it seems to make sense! It's not enough for a mobile phone to be beautiful, it must be easy to use, otherwise no one will buy it, at least I won't buy it! Speaking of it, Apple has a year Apple fans have been looking forward to it for a long time without releasing a new product, and it turned out to be such a disappointment!"

"..."

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 clicked his tongue secretly, and said: "The stunning technical design is really eye-catching, but I don't know how the function and price are..." At this moment, he couldn't help feeling a little worried.

"Hehe, chairman, you don't have to worry at all! You know, not only Motorola failed to develop touch-screen mobile phones, but even Nokia's previous touch-screen mobile phones failed. What does this mean... It means that consumers don't like it at all. This kind of touch screen mobile phone!" A middle-aged man with a high nose bridge and thick eyebrows and big eyes laughed loudly, "Apple's development of a touch screen mobile phone is tantamount to self-destruction. Nokia surpassed Apple and became the world's largest mobile phone manufacturer. Shang, just around the corner!!!”

"That's right, Vice President Kyle is right, Apple is seeking its own death!"

"Haha, do you want to open champagne to celebrate!!"

"Of course!" Everyone laughed and nodded.

Seeing the high confidence of the crowd, the chairman of Nokia also seemed to see Nokia aspiring to become the overlord of the mobile phone manufacturer. There was a touch of rosy color on his frowning old face.

……

The industry and the media are looking down on 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-touch screens, which are completely different from "multi-touch"!In addition, the iPhone's powerful functions and content ecosystem are not comparable to those of other mobile phones.

Right now, there are a lot of people mocking the iPhone, but there are still many Apple fans who are full of confidence in the iPhone, especially some consumers who like the appearance, and they can't wait to buy an iPhone to go home now.

"Many people on the Internet have slandered the iPhone. It must be that other mobile phone manufacturers have hired trolls!"

"That's right, these people are telling lies! I think other mobile phone manufacturers are envious and jealous, afraid that the iPhone will take away their market share!"

"Hehe, no matter what others say, I just like this phone, I am a good-looking phone!!!"

……

On the morning of June 6, a large group of reporters came under the Apple building, wanting 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!"

With a calm face, Jobs walked into the company under the protection of the company's security guards, ignoring the reporters!
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 can arouse everyone's curiosity and discussion.

The reporters watched Jobs go away, couldn't help sighing, and then left one by one.

Then the European media reporter 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 that 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 It’s a tool for people to communicate, but it’s annoying to make some grandstanding! iPhone may be questioned by everyone for this reason! Nokia’s purpose is to provide users with the best and most stable functions at the cheapest price Mobile phones, 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 N4, was very popular as soon as it was launched, and more than 70 million units were sold in just a few months! The Nokia N300 integrates fashion, functions, and business features. All in one, it can be called a flagship product..." The chairman of Nokia began to advertise his own products, talking eloquently and endlessly.

The reporters are speechless. I know your Nokia N70 is awesome. Now I want to ask you what you think of Apple's iPhone...

After a while, the chairman of Nokia said iPhone again.

"Nokia N70 is so good, but it's priced at $400, hehe, I wonder how much the iPhone costs..."

When he said the last sentence, the corner of the chairman of Nokia's mouth rose, and there was a hint of teasing in his tone.

The reporters' eyes lit up and they 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 smiled and said nothing, but this attitude is obviously acquiescence.

The reporters returned to the office and immediately wrote the story.

"Shocked! The chairman of Nokia made such a comment on Apple's iPhone!!!"

"It's really shocking! The chairman of Nokia Corporation actually said such a thing in front of reporters!"
