Chapter 677: Want to keep a low profile but get abused!

Xingyi Technology is not miHoYo, but a super giant!
As soon as Apple banned the Xingyi game, Douyin Mall will remove all Apple products including iPhones, iPads, Mac laptops, etc.!
In this way, Xingyi Games will only make a little less money, but Apple's losses will be too great.

Especially now that Douyin Mall is developing rapidly, it has become the second largest e-commerce giant in Xiaguo after Alibaba.

It ranks among the top e-commerce platforms around the world.

Once banned by TikTok Mall, Apple’s already sluggish sales will be even worse!

Apple cannot afford such a loss.

"No, we can't sanction Xingyi Technology. We can't afford their counterattack!"

"That's right, miHoYo is miHoYo, and XingYi Technology is XingYi Technology. We can't implicate XingYi Technology, otherwise we will all be in trouble."

"So, doesn't that mean we can't take revenge on miHoYo?"

"Can we just watch miHoYo jumping up and down, holding a configuration list, and slapping Apple in the face?"

"It seems to be the case at the moment. In fact, we were wrong to remove "Honkai Gakuen" from the shelves."

"By removing Honkai Academy from the shelves, we may seem to have won, but in fact we have lost. We have lost our reputation, our users, and our hearts. Now many users are turning their backs on Apple, abandoning it, condemning it, mocking it, and buying its competitor, the Xingyi phone."

"After Honkai Impact 3rd was removed from the shelves, miHoYo seemed to have lost and its revenue dropped. However, due to this incident, miHoYo and Honkai Impact 3rd became a global sensation and their international reputation increased significantly. Users who knew nothing about this before began to pay attention to miHoYo and downloaded Honkai Impact rd. As a result, miHoYo's user base and revenue did not decline due to Apple's ban, but instead increased significantly."

"Most importantly, many Apple fans, seeing the garbage our Apple products are, gave up buying iPhones and used their budget for iPhone 6 to buy Xingyi phones because of this incident."

"It can be said that after this wave, miHoYo has made more money, has a greater reputation, and has a huge increase in users. The sales of Xingyi mobile phones have skyrocketed, and even the Kunpeng processor has become a god in one battle, purchased and praised by major manufacturers. Xingyi Semiconductor has made a lot of money. But we, the iPhone, have suffered heavy losses!"

"Fuck, it's true. They didn't suffer much loss, but we, Apple, suffered heavy losses. Fuck, we lost this time!"

"The root cause is still Honkai Impact 3D. As long as we can run Honkai Impact 3D, everything will be fine. The key is that we can't run it, not even with low-quality graphics."

"Ah, actually, in terms of the processor, it can run at medium quality, but the key is that the running memory is stuck, and the 1G memory is just stuck online, it's too slow."

"By the way, if it runs slowly, how did Honkai Impact 3D get listed on the iOS App Store? How did it pass the review?"

"Don't mention it, damn! I've checked this out. When miHoYo submitted it for review, it was the initial version of Honkai Impact 3D, which only took up 700MB of memory, and our system took up more than 200MB. This way, it can still run smoothly with medium graphics. Plus, the game content is fine and it looks promising, so it passed review."

"But who would have thought that Honkai Impact 3D would update so quickly, and the first event dungeon was released very soon, which significantly increased the memory usage. When the dungeon was not running, it was still around 700M, which was not a big problem. But the battle scene took up 800M of memory, plus the 200M of our system, and it exploded!"

"Yes, Honkai Impact 3D requires 200 MB of memory to run, and our iOS system also requires more than 1 MB. In this way, 200 GB of memory will be full and stuck, unless we fully optimize the iOS system to less than 3 MB, then we can run Honkai Impact D, at least with medium quality."

"If it's an iPhone 6, with the added bonus of the 64-bit iOS system, 50 FPS at medium quality is possible."

"But unfortunately, it is very difficult to reduce the memory usage of the iOS system to less than 200M. But if we try our best, there may be hope."

Cook waved his hand and said, "It's useless. Even if our engineers fully optimize the iOS system and reduce the memory to less than 200M, so that Honkai Impact 3D can run smoothly, will Honkai Impact 3D not be updated in the future? Will it not be iterated? Will it not release new copies?"

"Oh, yes, this is the big problem. Right now, Honkai Impact 3D takes up 800 MB of memory. As long as they continue to update and upgrade, the memory usage will continue to increase. By then, it may be 850 MB, 900 MB, or even 950 MB or 1 GB. By then, no matter how much we optimize and streamline our iOS system, it will be meaningless."

"So the only way out is to upgrade to 2G memory!" Cook said solemnly: "It's too late for iPhone 5S now, but iPhone 6 can still be saved."

"Chairman, iPhone 6 has also been mass-produced in tens of millions, and it also has 1G RAM..."

Cook took a deep breath and said, "Then postpone the release of iPhone 6 and make a 2G RAM version."

"What about the iPhone 6 that has already been mass-produced?"

"The 1G version is made into iPhone 6C, and the 2G version is made into iPhone 6. The 1G version of iPhone 6C is similar to the positioning of iPhone 5C, focusing on cost-effectiveness, and priced at US$549. iPhone 6 is still priced at US$649."

"In this way, the low-end 6C has a high cost-effectiveness and is suitable for people who don't play games. No one will complain if it can't run "Honkai Impact 3D". The high-end iPhone 6, with 2G RAM, can run "Honkai Impact 3D" at high frame rate and medium quality, which is enough."

As for the advanced image quality... Cook didn't say.

There is no other reason. The screen of iPhone 6 is not a 1080-resolution screen, so it naturally cannot play 1080P high-definition pictures.

As for the iPhone 6 plus, its screen is 1080P, but the A8 processor it carries cannot deliver 1080P high-definition images.

It will need the A6 + 9G RAM of next year's iPhone 2S to run 1080P high-definition smoothly.

"This strategy is good, one high and one low, and it is indeed feasible. Even if we downgrade the iPhone 6 to the iPhone 6C, our profits will drop by 25%-30%! And if we launch a 2G version, the cost will be even higher. The launch date originally scheduled for August will have to be postponed to October, and the loss here is also not to be underestimated."

"Yes, one move affects the whole body, not to mention that we need to make major changes now, and it all costs money."

Cook frowned and said, "Even if it means heavy losses, we have to make major changes and launch a 2G RAM version. In a word, the reputation of iPhone's poor performance must be thrown away. Otherwise, even if our iPhone 6 is launched, it will not sell well!"

"That's right. Without Honkai Impact 3D, we could still use 1G RAM, which was enough. But with Honkai Impact 3D, 1G RAM is not enough. If iPhone 6 wants to be a hot seller, it must use 2G RAM."

"The iPhone 1 with 6GB RAM costs 4000 or 6 yuan, and I don't think many people will buy it. Only if the price is reduced to around 2 yuan and it is made into the iPhone 6C, it will sell well. The iPhone with GB RAM is even more indispensable."

"Seconded!"

"Seconded!"

"Second! Apple no longer has room to fail. We don't have many chances left."

……

Everyone spoke one after another.

Cook nodded and said, "That's it. The 1G version of iPhone 6 will be changed to iPhone 6C, priced at $549, and repackaged. At the same time, immediately purchase 2G RAM chips and mass-produce the 2G version of iPhone 6 as soon as possible. The release dates of 6C and iPhone 6 will all be postponed to September! 9C will be launched directly in September, and iPhone 6 will be launched as early as possible, in October!"

"Yes!" Everyone responded one after another.

This is Apple's best choice, no doubt about it.

Even if there is a heavy loss, it is better than having no gain at all.

"As for the next generation iPhone, the 5-inch version must also have a 1080P resolution super split screen! We can't keep squeezing the toothpaste, otherwise Apple will be finished."

"Yes, we must have everything that Xingyi mobile phone has! Only then can we fully match Xingyi mobile phone."

"The iPhone 6 has a big screen, but it's not enough. The next generation 6S will have a 1080P screen and 20W fast charging next year! Our charging is too slow. The battery must also be made bigger. With our small battery, playing "Honkai Impact 3D" will be useless in less than 2 hours."

"1080P screens must be popularized, fast charging must be popularized, 2G RAM must be popularized, and processor performance must be greatly improved!"

“That’s right, next year’s iPhone 6s series must be able to run Honkai Impact 3D smoothly at 1080P high definition!”

……

Everyone spoke one after another and expressed their opinions.

But the opinions are rarely the same: everyone wants to make the iPhone stronger and better.

This made Cook very pleased.

Previous high-level meetings were also divided internally.

Some are radicals who support the iPhone becoming more like Star-Easy, giving up on squeezing toothpaste, and wanting to have a larger screen, improve performance, and upgrade configuration.

The other conservatives insisted that the iPhone should maintain the Apple style, continue to have small screens, continue to have dual cores, and continue to enjoy a peaceful life...

The representatives of the two factions each insisted on their own opinions, refused to give in to each other, fought for power, and acted like bullies, which gave Cook a headache.

Now, the conservatives have become very radical, and the radicals have become even more radical.

It’s a good thing that the voices within Apple are finally unified!

Sure enough, only when we are hurt, will we unite as one and work together!
In the following days, Apple quickly cut a large number of 1G memory orders and purchased a large number of 2G memory chips.

In addition to the rush to produce, Apple asked suppliers to ship the goods as quickly as possible and jump the queue!
For this reason, some dealers had to keep the memory chips for other customers and supply them to Apple first.

Small brands, in particular, are forced to give way to Apple.

There is no way. There has never been absolute fairness in this world, even if it is written clearly in black and white.

Of course, no one dares to intercept Xingyi Technology's orders. All orders will be delivered on time or in advance. Even when necessary, Xingyi Technology will have to jump the queue. There is no other way, big customers are always the financial sponsors.

However, Apple’s actions could not be hidden from Xingyi Technology.

In just two days, Zhu Changlin had already obtained accurate information and approached Wang Yi:
"Chairman, Apple has cut 1% of its 2G memory chips, increased orders for a large number of G memory chips, and requested early delivery!"

Wang Yi was not surprised: "No wonder Apple has not responded in the past few days, nor has it jumped up and down again. It seems that when it launches the 1G version of the new flagship, it also launches the 2G version of the iPhone 6!"

"That's definitely the case. Apple asked suppliers to jump the queue and give priority to Apple, hoping to launch the product as soon as possible. But the 2G version has to be mass-produced again. It's already late July, and the 2G memory chips will arrive in early August. Then the 2G version will be fully mass-produced and delivered in early September. It will also be distributed to stores around the world, so it will be launched in October at any rate!"

Wang Yi nodded: "I guess Apple will release the two phones in batches in September. The 9G version will be released in late September, and the 1G version will be released in October! You know what to do!"

Zhu Changlin was delighted: "Then our Xphone 4 will be released in early September and will be on the market, killing the iPhone 6!"

"Well, but this is not enough. Even a lion fights a rabbit with all its strength!" Wang Yi said meaningfully.

Now the Xingyi mobile phone and Apple have completely switched places.

The lion that fought the rabbit before was the apple.

But now the lion that is hunting the rabbit has become Xingyi Technology!

The completely reversed identities reflect a shift in strength.

Zhu Changlin understood what Wang Yi meant: "Chairman, I will make arrangements. I will kill Apple in September, and give him another big gift in October, the 2G version of Apple!"

"It just so happens that our Xingyi X1 ultra version has also been upgraded to the latest Kunpeng 910 SOC. We originally planned to release it together with the Xphone 4 and put it on the market together. There will definitely be a stampede in the high-end market wherever it goes. Now we can just release the Xingyi X1 ultra in October and make the iPhone 6 2G version despair!"

"That's right." Wang Yi was very satisfied: "Xingyi X1 ultra will be launched one month later, which will also make it easier to clear the inventory of Xingyi X1 series."

Once the Xingyi X1 ultra is launched on the market and upgraded to Kunpeng 910, the Xingyi X906 series equipped with Kunpeng 1 will be unsalable.

This kind of super flagship is expensive to begin with, and users who can afford this kind of super flagship product are mostly wealthy.

Once Xingyi X1 ultra comes out, I will definitely go straight for Xingyi X1 ultra.

This one-month stagger makes it easier for the Xingyi X1 series to reduce prices and clear inventory, and the Xingyi X1 ultra will be the main product to be promoted in the future.

In the following days, Apple became very low-key and remained silent.

There was no way out. Before the 2G version of iPhone 6 was launched, Apple had poor performance and could not get rid of the label of being a weak competitor, so it could only keep a low profile.

But other competitors are not low-key at all. On the contrary, they are all promoting heavily and trying to step on Apple to get to the top, either openly or covertly.

【小米5搭载鲲鹏906，2G运存，碾压iPhone 6，畅玩《崩坏3D》 1080P高画质！】

[The high-end new flagship LG G3 rejects performance barriers, equipped with Kunpeng 906 SOC, "Honkai Impact 3D" 1080P high-definition, no pressure. ]

[Sony Kunpeng 906 new flagship, what Apple can't give you, we Sony can give you! ]

[How can a flagship phone not play "Honkai Impact 3D" in high definition? HTC's new flagship, together with Kunpeng 906, gives you a better choice. ]

[Apple fans who want to play "Honkai Impact 3D" but are not used to Android interaction? You can take a look at the new Meizu Kunpeng 906 flagship, which has a similar interaction mode, more powerful performance, and a lower price, so that Apple fans can change their phones without worry! ]

……

Almost all third-party brands that purchased the Kunpeng 906 SOC have begun to operate actively and vigorously promote their new flagships.

Especially in June and July, all major brands launched their new flagships equipped with Kunpeng 906 SOC in batches, and they will not miss the overwhelming traffic of Kunpeng 906 and the good opportunity to crush iPhone!

In the past, if these brands wanted to crush the iPhone, they could only rely on word of mouth.

But now, it can crush the iPhone with dignity.

The simplest thing is that no matter whether it is the new flagship of HTC, Meimi, or OV, they are all equipped with Kunpeng 906 SOC, 2G or 3G running memory, and the chip tuning service is handled by Xingyi Technology. Playing "Honkai Impact 3D" with the highest 1080P picture quality is very smooth, with a stable frame rate of more than 50 frames!
This is something that the iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C, which have poor image quality even at low resolution, cannot compare to.

It really crushes the iPhone in terms of performance.

All major brands will not miss this opportunity to rise to the top by leveraging the iPhone.

At a time when Apple wants to keep a low profile, major brands have taken turns to force Apple to export.

So Apple, which originally wanted to keep a low profile, was dragged into one hot search after another, and they were negative hot searches at that.

This made Cook very angry:

"Farke! Farke!"

"These damn bastards actually jumped out and acted like tyrants over us, Apple!"

"It's too much, it's too much!"

Other senior executives were also outraged:

"It's fine if Xingyi Technology crushes us. They are strong, have powerful performance, strong R&D capabilities, and strong technical reserves. From systems to hardware, they beat us in all aspects. We are not as good as them, so it's fine if we are crushed. We admit that we are not as good as them."

"But what about HTC, LG, and other brands?"

"What are their core competencies? What are their advantages?"

"The only Kunpeng 906 SOC that has some advantages is the chip purchased from Xingyi Semiconductor. If you don't know, you might think these brands developed it themselves."

"It's just a group of brand combinations that are jumping out to act tyrannically. This is too much!"

"Shameless, no bottom line!"

"The bad news is that the iPhone 2 with 6G RAM is still under development. We are helpless for now and can only bear it and wait until the new phone is released in September."

"Alas, this is all I can do for now. But I'll keep this in mind, and when iPhone 6 is released, I'll definitely make up for it!"

"That's right. All these clowns jumping around now will be dealt with in due time."

"In fact, these clowns are easy to deal with and not worth mentioning. The key is the Xingyi mobile phone and the Wujie mobile phone. We just..."

"Hey!"

In an instant, the entire conference room fell silent, with only sighs heard one after another.

When it comes to Xingyi Technology, even Cook has a headache.

Even if the iPhone 6 is upgraded to 2G RAM, it cannot surpass the previous generation Xingyi X1, not to mention the upcoming xphone 4!

Everyone at Apple is very upset about this.

HTC is also a company with no temper.

This time, the Samsung performance gate, Motorola performance gate, Qualcomm performance gate, and Apple performance gate occurred one after another. Several major giants suffered heavy losses, sales plummeted, and a large market was vacated.

Under this situation, domestic brands such as Meimi and OV are unable to expand overseas on a large scale, and the vacant market would have been divided up by several major international brands.

As a company that once competed with Apple and Samsung, HTC should have made a lot of money and seen its sales surge.

But ideals are full and reality is skinny.

HTC's new phone sales did not increase much, nor did they explode.

The same is true for brands such as LG and Sony, which have not seen a huge sales boom.

On the contrary, the market share lost by Apple and Samsung was taken up by Xingyi phones and Wujie phones!
That’s right, seeing that Apple’s performance is poor and Samsung’s is weak, users all go to buy Xingyi phones and Wujie phones!

This left HTC speechless.
