Chapter 690 Cook: Xingyi Technology has us covered!

"If I were the CEO of Apple, I would make the following adjustments!" Wang Yi said:
"First of all, for the 16G version, the free cloud disk cannot be cancelled, but it has been reduced from 20G per month to 5G per month, and the annual music membership has been increased to 18 months."

“64G版本每月缩水到送10G云盘，18个月音乐会员。128G版本，则是继续保持送20G云盘会员，也增加到18个月的音乐会员！”

Song Si Ning's eyes lit up:
"In this way, the 16G version still comes with a free cloud disk every month, which can reduce user resistance. And a half-year music membership is given as a gift, so users won't have any complaints. But with only 5G, the 16G version is still not enough, and you have to pay extra for the 64G version!"

"What a good idea! This will not only solve the problem perfectly and increase the sales of the 64G version, but will also prevent users from going crazy and boycotting it."

“It’s indeed a perfect answer.”

Wang Yi smiled: "It depends on whether Apple will make this choice."

"Wouldn't they?"

“How can a brand that is used to being arrogant take its users seriously?” Wang Yi shook his head.

In fact, many brands die because of hubris.

Nokia, Motorola, HTC, all are like this.

This is especially true for Apple.

For other brands, users are God, and we arrange whatever users need.

iPhone, users are leeks, you buy whatever we have!
This is true both now and in the future.

What is 200W 300W fast charging? What is dual-app opening? What is water drop screen? Full screen? What is gallium nitride charging head?
You want me to give it to you?
What a joke!
No, not one!

20W fast charging is great, before it was always 10W!
A notch screen will do.

What kind of bike do you want?

How can such a brand take its users seriously?
If people really took users seriously, the iPhone in the past would have had fast charging, a full-screen display, and dual-opening capabilities for apps long ago!
It is not as bad as the 16 series, where the charging speed is only 30W, even the Android flagship phones can achieve watts.

"I see!"

Song Sining suddenly realized and pulled Wang Yi to sit up.

And she squatted on the ground.

Put your hair up...

The next day.

Just as Wang Yi expected, Apple directly canceled the free cloud storage activity and only gave away one-year music membership.

In response, users were furious and cursed Apple:

"Junk Apple, changing their mind every day, no credibility, no credibility at all."

"I was about to order the 16G version, but you cancelled the 20G cloud disk. How can the 16G version be enough? It's not enough at all."

"That's right. I really don't know what's going on in the minds of Apple's top executives. Why did they cancel the 20GB cloud storage?"

"What else can you think? If they continue to give away 20GB cloud disks, and everyone buys the 16GB version, how can Apple still attract users? Now that it has been cancelled, 16GB is not enough, and everyone is forced to pay extra for the 64GB version."

"Fuck! Apple is so disgusting, it's such a rip-off!"

"Don't say it, this is their logic, this is what they think."

"That's right. If they don't want to harvest users, they won't cancel the 32G version and force us to buy the 64G version."

"Junk Apple, getting more and more unscrupulous."

“Not only is storage harvested, but screens are harvested as well.”

"The 4288 iPhone 6C 16G is not enough, you have to add 800 to get the 64G version. The 5088 iPhone 6C 64G version has a 750P low-resolution screen, which is too bad. You have to add another thousand to get the iPhone 6C plus to get 1080P!"

"The 6088 iPhone 6C plus with 1G RAM is too slow, I have to pay another 6 for the iPhone plus!"

"The iPhone 7088 plus priced at 6 is not in stock yet. We have to wait until next month."

"Hahaha, is Apple making fun of us?"

"Damn it, it's true!"

"I spent 7088 yuan to buy an iPhone 6 plus, and I have to wait until next month. Isn't this crazy? With this budget, I can just buy an xphone 4, 3+ 64G version, isn't it better? It's 200 yuan cheaper. Or an xphone 4 plus, 3+ 32G version, which is also much better."

"If you add a few hundred more, you can buy the Xingyi X1 pro. Who would buy the iPhone 6 plus?"

"Xingyi X1 is also OK, 7188, 5.3-inch full screen, lifting camera, powerful processor, 1080P, 3G RAM, large battery, fast charging, everything is included, much better than Apple."

"That's right, bye bye, I'm going to buy Xingyi X1!"

"That's right. 7088 has many options to choose from when he goes to Xingyi Technology. There's no need to waste his time on Apple."

"Five or six thousand is not a small amount of money. A 1GB RAM and 750P processor is definitely not enough. If you don't want to wait for iPhone 6, you can go for Xingyi or Wujie."

"Yes, Apple cheated us, so we gave up on Apple. We have been users for many years, but now we are just passing by."

Most of the users who still support Apple are the most loyal Apple fans.

But this time, these Apple fans couldn't hold on any longer and gave up on Apple and chose Xingyi phones.

After all, the iPhone 4288C, which starts at 6, seems to be much cheaper than the Xphone 5688, which starts at 4, but its configuration is much worse.

Forget about 3G RAM, there isn't even 2G RAM!
There is no 1080P screen, and there is no powerful processor...

Even the most cost-effective 32G storage version has been castrated.

If you want 2G RAM, 1080P screen and large storage, you will have to wait for next month's iPhone 6 series, and it has to be the plus, 64G version. The price will not be 4288, but 7088!

At this price, it is better to go all out and buy the xphone 4 or Xingyi X1 series directly.

Even if your budget is limited, you can also consider last year's xphone 3 or 2GB S, which are much better than the iPhone.

As a result, many Apple fans not only stopped buying the 16G version of iPhone 6C, but also did not pay extra for the 64G version. Instead, most of them gave up on the iPhone and bought the Xingyi phone and the Wujie phone instead.

Whether it is the xphone 4 series or the Xingyi X1 series, they are much better than the iPhone 6C series and iPhone 6 series, and they are all in stock without having to wait, and they have no shortcomings!
Watching this scene, Cook was dumbfounded:

"Fuck, I got attacked again!"

"After canceling the free cloud disk membership, consumers not only did not buy the 64G version, but directly gave up the iPhone!"

"How could this be?"

“Why are these users so disobedient?”

Hearing this, everyone was stunned and started to speak:
"Yes, I clearly feel that Apple fans are becoming more and more rebellious, and they are going against us in every way!"

"That's right. Back then, our iPhone 4 and 4S series were not as good as the current iPhone 6C. Not to mention the big screen, the 2G RAM, not even 1G RAM, only 512M RAM. Even the battery was an ordinary battery. In winter, it would freeze and shut down at any time. But even so, those users still bought it!"

“Some people even sell their kidneys to buy it!”

"Look at what's happening now. We changed the original iPhone 5288 from 6 to iPhone 6C and sold it to them for 4288. They are still not satisfied and are finding faults. They are really going against the grain and are so disobedient!"

"What's even worse is that some users asked us to use 2G RAM and 3G RAM, accused us of killing users by canceling the 32G version, and accused us of charging 5W too slowly and asked us to use 20W fast charging!"

"It's really the opposite of Tiangang. This generation of users is so difficult to lead!"

"That's right, we shouldn't compromise. If we compromise once, we will do so countless times."

"We compromised on 2G RAM and downgraded the 1G version of iPhone 6 to iPhone 6C, which set a bad precedent. Now those users are asking for fast charging, 4.7P screen on the 1080-inch version, and 20G cloud storage. It's simply too much!"

"Tell me, how did Apple users and fans become like this?"

"Why do you say that? It's all because of that damn Xingyi Technology!"

"It's just that Xingyi Technology takes its users too seriously. They arrange whatever the users want, and even force users to give them what they don't want."

"As a result, users' appetites are getting bigger and bigger, they are becoming more and more picky, and they are becoming less and less satisfied with our Apple phones!"

"Big screen, 1080P resolution, 20W fast charging, 2070 million pixels, 2G and 3G RAM, dual HiFi chips... all of them are made by Xingyi Technology."

"If they don't do this, users won't want it. Now, their Xingyi mobile phone has become popular and sold well all over the world, making Apple very passive and unable to sell at all!"

"It's so damned good!"

"Xingyi mobile phones are the cancer of the industry, causing endless harm!"

"Not only did our sales and profits plummet, but our stock price also collapsed."

"In recent years, the market value of many giants has been increasing, but Apple's market value has been declining. Compared with the previous peak stock price, it has been cut in half!"

"A company like Xingyi Technology shouldn't exist. Damn it!"

...Listening to the crowd's curses, Cook was also extremely angry.

These people are his mouthpieces, and the words they curse are what Cook really thinks.

Originally, the iPhone had a stable base, user support, and capital optimism, so it could be said that it had a bright future.

But since the establishment of Xingyi Technology and the production of the Xingyi mobile phone...well, everything has changed.

The iPhone’s core market has been ruined, users have rebelled, and investors are no longer optimistic about Apple.

It was fine before, except that the US market was halved in the summer, but the global performance was still decent, and capital was still willing to believe that Apple could get out of the predicament and return to its peak.

But since the internationalization of Xingyi mobile phones, Apple's global market share has begun to be halved, and investors have become desperate, selling Apple's stocks and even shorting Apple.

Even if the three major shareholders BlackRock, Vanguard and State Street strongly support it, it will be meaningless.

Apple's stock price is still plummeting, its market value is still shrinking, and no one can save it.

So much so that the three major shareholders began to make harsh remarks. If Apple fails to rise again, BlackRock, Vanguard and State Street will all give up on Apple, their disappointing son, and cut their losses in time!
Once it reaches this point, destruction will be waiting for Apple.

Apple's fate will be the same as Nokia and Motorola before it: either it will die or be acquired.

Cook and other senior executives could not accept this situation.

Once it is acquired like Nokia and Motorola, what awaits Apple and its executives will be darkness, like the artists in a brothel, squeezed dry and then sold again and again...

Just like Motorola, after Google acquired it, it found that Motorola was not doing well, so it sold its most valuable patents to cash in, and then prepared to sell Motorola to Lenovo. Unfortunately, Lenovo came to its senses and did not plan to buy Motorola...

Nokia also found that its Lumia model was not very successful after being acquired by Microsoft. Some people within Microsoft also suggested selling Nokia to cut losses in time.

Similarly, once BlackRock and others give up on Apple, the fate that awaits Apple will be the same as that of Nokia and Motorola, where its surplus value will be squeezed out and then sold again and again!
The failure of iPhone 6C has brought Apple one step closer to such a situation!
Cook was immediately shocked and broke out in a cold sweat: "The patience of the major shareholders is running out. Once they all give up on Apple, you all know what will happen to Apple! You can also imagine your ending."

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed.

If it really comes to that, it will be the end.

Now, no one dared to remain silent and started to offer suggestions:

"Chairman, the current situation is indeed passive, but the cloud disk has been taken back and can't be given away anymore. It's better to continue selling it and let the iPhone 6C series sell slowly. At the same time, we will start the pre-sale of iPhone 6 as soon as possible and strongly promote iPhone 6!"

"That's right, Chairman. Of the 2000 million iPhone 6Cs, we can sell at least 6 to million within two months. After two months, we can offer a promotion and reduce the price to quickly clear out the inventory. But for now, our focus should still be on the iPhone !"

"Yes, the 6GB RAM of iPhone 1C can't sustain the business at all. Just clear out the inventory and forget it. Whether Apple can rise again depends on iPhone 6!"

"The iPhone 6 also needs to make adjustments. I suggest increasing the stock of the Plus version and reducing the stock of the standard version. After all, the Plus has a 1080P screen, and users now want 1080P!"

Cook nodded and said, "That makes sense. Then let the iPhone 6C sell well and start reducing the price for promotion in two months. As for the iPhone 6, start pre-sale with full payment immediately and officially go on sale at the beginning of next month. At the same time, increase the supply of the Plus version!"

"Yes!"

Everyone responded one after another.

Some people even complained: "If we had known this earlier, we might as well have done it right from the beginning. The entire series directly uses 2G RAM, 1080P is fully supported, and the 32G version should not be cancelled! This way we won't have to take so many detours and won't be so passive!"

Everyone was silent collectively: "..."

Then someone asked, "What's the point of saying this now?"

The man sighed: "The only meaning is that we should remember the lesson. For next year's iPhone 6S series, don't squeeze the toothpaste anymore, just go for it in one go!"

Many people agree with this:

"That's right. Not only does it start with 2G RAM, but 32G is also required, and 1080P is also standard."

"The performance of the A9 processor must also be greatly improved, at least it can play Crash III with high graphics quality!"

"That's right, but it's not enough. We also need to upgrade our lens module. The Xingyi phone has 2070 million pixels. We can't continue with the ancestral 800 million pixels. We need at least 1600 million rear pixels!"

"The pixels have to be improved, and the charging power has to be improved. The traditional 5W is too slow, we have to use 20W fast charging!"

"That's right. We don't have many opportunities left. Only by making up for all our shortcomings can we compete head-on with Xingyi Mobile and make up for our disadvantage."

"Make up for them all? Haha, that's easier said than done. How do we do it?"

"Even if we can achieve a performance surge with A9, how can we do 20W fast charging? Qualcomm has spent several years developing 12W safe fast charging. Apple can't even do W fast charging, so how can we do W?"

"This..." Everyone fell silent again.

Yeah, I can’t handle it!

Does Apple not want to support fast charging?
Of course not, it’s simply not possible due to technical reasons, and battery technology is also not capable of that.

Fast charging will definitely accelerate battery degradation. Apple’s already poorly made batteries will degrade even more severely if fast charging is added.

More importantly, other mobile phone batteries are cheap. When they break, you can replace them for one or two hundred, or even two or three hundred yuan.

Replacing an iPhone battery costs hundreds of dollars!

Once fast charging is used, the battery will degrade by more than 80% at any time, and it will cost hundreds of dollars to replace it with a new one. Users will curse!

"We can't do 20W fast charging ourselves, but Xingyi Technology can do it, so we can use Xingyi fast charging modules!"

"???"

For a moment, everyone was stunned. After a long while, someone said:
"You mean to say that Apple, a company like us, has to use Xingyi Technology's fast charging module? Do you have any shame?"

"Haha, do you want face or sales? Do you want face or profits? Do you want face or Apple not going bankrupt? Do you want face or Apple's future?"

"This……"

Everyone was silent again, the entire conference room was silent.

Yes, do you want face or sales?
By purchasing the Xingyi fast-charging module, next year’s iPhone 6S will be equipped with 20W fast charging, and by filling in other shortcomings, sales can be further increased.

For the sake of face, they did not purchase the Xingyi fast-charging module and continued to use the traditional 5-watt model, but sales were still poor.

There is no way. Now users have been led astray by Xingyi Technology and are becoming more and more picky!

"We'll talk about this later. Let's deal with the current situation first."

Cook said in a deep voice, but he was a little hesitant.

Apple doesn’t have many opportunities left. If it doesn’t want to end up like Nokia, it can only lower its profile, make up for its shortcomings, and follow suit.

Next year's iPhone 6S will have large memory, large screen, 1080P, million pixels, and fast charging...

Apple has to arrange everything that Xingyi mobile phones have.

Everything else is easy, just purchase it, but fast charging is troublesome.

Qualcomm, which is disappointing, has not yet figured out 20W fast charging, so Apple has no choice.

Are they really going to purchase the fast charging modules from Xingyi Technology?
Of course, what Cook doesn’t know is that Qualcomm currently has no energy to develop fast charging.

It's simple. Without fast charging, Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 is an energy hog and a heat hog that can burn people to death.

Then add 15W fast charging and 20W fast charging.

That’s it, Snapdragon 805 will be popular immediately, on fire!
Especially since many users play games while charging, the Fire Dragon 805 + 20W fast charging might be really popular!
As a result, Qualcomm internally gave up Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 and focused on solving the heating problem of Snapdragon 805.

Soon, Apple's official website and major e-commerce platforms began taking full-payment pre-orders for the iPhone 6.

For this purpose, Apple also arranged hot searches.

There is no doubt that this hot search has also attracted a lot of attention:
"The iPhone 6 pre-sale has started. It's finally here."

"iPhone 6C is so useless. I have to get iPhone 6!"

"Yes, the iPhone 6 has at least 2G RAM and powerful performance, while the iPhone 6C is really garbage."

"Fuck, if you pre-order the iPhone 6 now and pay in full, it will only be shipped next month. It's too late."

"What? We have to wait until next month? That would take three weeks."

"Yeah, it's rubbish, Apple is really rubbish, Xingyi phone is better, it's sold right after it's released, how great."

"Boss Wang was afraid that we wouldn't be able to buy them, so he prepared 4 million units of Xphone 1 and million units of Xingyi X before they were released!"

"Mr. Wang is really doting on his fans. Just for this reason, I bought an Xphone 4."

"I won't wait for iPhone 6, I'll go for Xingyi X1 Pro directly, full screen + 3G RAM + Kunpeng 910 + 2070 million pixels + 20W fast charging, it's invincible!"
