Rebirth of the 92 Business Tycoon

Chapter 2194: Mixed Praise and Criticism

After the press conference lasted more than an hour, before noon, when Zuckerberg was still worried about his performance at the press conference and couldn't help but call Feng Yiping, thousands of messages were sent to all parts of the world with the Moscone Center as the center.

Before the afternoon shift ended, a large number of commentary articles had already emerged on the Internet.

Microsoft, the current leader of the US high-tech industry, expressed its views to Bloomberg at the first opportunity.

Bill Gates, the old rival that Jobs had been thinking about, naturally would not show up at this time. The world's richest man should have the bearing of the world's richest man.

The one who showed up was the Microsoft CEO Ballmer with a loud voice.

Jobs' first words about the phone, which he considered to be "a reinvention of the mobile phone," were, "The iPhone has no chance of gaining any significant market share."

To emphasize his point, he repeated, "No chance."

"This is a $500 alternative product," he said. "Based on the pricing, they can make a lot of money on each one, but they may only have 2% or 3% of the market share."

It can't be said that he was wrong. $500 is not a small expense for the American people.

He didn't seem to be wrong about making money. Although Apple's shipments accounted for a small proportion later, it has always accounted for more than 60% of the total profit in the mobile phone market.

So, although he did not hide his contempt for Apple's highly anticipated product, he was still partly right.

Friends who produce mobile phones are naturally making their voices heard through various channels at this time.

Ms. Wu Sili, the chief technology officer of Motorola, the world's second largest mobile phone manufacturer, who may be the most accomplished Indian woman in the technology industry at this time, immediately stated in her blog after watching the relevant video of the press conference, "No technology on the iPhone is revolutionary or destructive,"

"Touch interface, mobile sensor, accelerometer, deformation, gesture recognition, built-in MP3 player, WiFi, Bluetooth, 2-megapixel camera, these have been used in the products of mobile industry leaders such as Motorola, Nokia, and Samsung."

The implication is that Apple is just putting old wine in a new bottle.

However, I don't know if she has ever thought about a problem. Xi Shi's face has eyes, ears, mouth and nose, and Dong Shi's face also has eyes, ears, mouth and nose, but overall, one is in the sky and the other is in the ground.

And if we can find the person with the lowest IQ in the world, we will find that his brain is no different from the brains of Newton and Einstein.

Her comments really don't hit the point at all.

"So, they set the price at $499 and $599. Haha, I think this is a very courageous act."

So, this Ms. Wu Sili is really not on the same level as Jobs.

She is still at the level of complying with user needs, while Jobs has always been creating needs.

He believes that as long as he can carve the product to perfection, there are people willing to spend a lot of money to buy it.

Later, Apple was called the kidney machine in China, which fully confirmed his foresight and the limitations of Ms. Wu Sili.

In fact, Motorola and Nokia also launched mobile phones at the same time, and there are also products priced at four or five hundred dollars.

Feng Yiping thought that Ballmer and Ms. Wu Sili's words were more for their own people to hear, "Relax, Apple's iPhone has no future, and it will not have any impact on us."

Feng Yiping believes that in a year or two, when they look back at what they said today, they will probably feel hot on their faces.

The issue that Feng Yiping and Rubin argued about this morning was the cancellation of the physical keyboard design of Apple's iPhone, which was also criticized on the Internet.

It has to be said that the BlackBerry is very popular right now. In addition to the security it promotes, the BlackBerry keyboard is the main reason why many people like it.

There are also voices of opposition even within Apple.

Comments on Engadget, a popular technology blog for well-known consumer electronics products, should represent the opinions of many people.

"I am not so interested in the iPhone. As a PDA user and a Windows phone user, this thing is useless to me... Please, Apple, make a real PDA,"

A well-known columnist on the well-known technology blog TechCrunch also believes that Apple's cancellation of the physical keyboard is a huge mistake.

"Don't be surprised if a large number of iPhone buyers will regret not buying a BlackBerry when they spend a lot of extra time sending and receiving emails every day,"

Like Ballmer, in order to increase credibility, he also added, "I hope my terrible prediction will not come true,"

Feng Yiping knows that his prediction did not come true, but the BlackBerry he promoted later ceased to exist.

So, Feng Yiping feels that some people in the United States are indeed very stubborn and always subconsciously resist some new things.

This is really far from what we have in China.

He believes that there are many people in China who have already fallen madly in love with this mobile phone that will take six months to be officially launched, and they have to go to Hong Kong to buy it in parallel.

Is it bad to remove the physical keyboard? That doesn't exist. Isn't the virtual keyboard more stylish?

As for the high price of $499 or $599? That doesn't exist.

Do you know how much I spent on my first mobile phone, which was an analog phone? More than $5,000.

As for what is good about this Apple phone? It is good in every way.

Of course, in the United States, many people are also crazy about this iPhone.

"I am super looking forward to the launch of the iPhone. How much I am looking forward to it? Let me put it this way. When I see the iPhone, it is like a teenager seeing his first Playboy."

This metaphor is very powerful.

"That's not a cell phone, it's a very cool magic product, but Apple can mass produce it,"

"Even if it still looks flawed, the iPhone is still the most advanced and forward-looking electronic product in years. It does a lot of things well and is so enjoyable that you want to forgive its flaws,"

A reporter from Time magazine wrote, "Please, those who complain about the iPhone, look at the iPod five years ago,"

"The first generation iPod, the monochrome interface! The clunky wheel! It looks like something a caveman would use, and the current iPod has made revolutionary progress,"

"Imagine that the future iPhone will definitely make great progress. You will have a great phone in a few years, and it will be cheaper,"

"So if you can't appreciate this iPhone now, please look further!"

This person really sees far enough.

It won't be long before all the smartphones in the world look like iPhones.

The most intense reaction is from the Android group.

Although they agree with Feng Yiping and Rubin's judgment that the system they developed can be applied to many devices in the future, unfortunately, they didn't find the right one before today.

Until they saw the iPhone.

This is simply the best carrier for this system.

If in the future, the mobile phones used by everyone are replaced by such smartphones, then the system they are developing now may not be able to run on hundreds of millions of devices?

Of course, after repeatedly watching the relevant videos of the press conference and searching for relevant information on the Internet, they are not without opinions about Apple.

They feel that Apple is still so stubborn and closed. It seems that Apple still has no intention of allowing developers to customize personalized APPs for this smartphone.

Therefore, although Apple is outstanding, it is inevitably a little petty in comparison.

Because the Android they are developing has been positioned as an open platform from the beginning.

This is the great spirit.

But in any case, this evening, I am afraid that only Android can hold a celebration party like Apple.

When Feng Yiping received Rubin's call, he heard the laughter over there very clearly, "Feng," Rubin seemed to have a big tongue, "When can you use the iPhone?"

"It should be before it is officially launched," Feng Yiping said.

He has always had such privileges.

"Can you give it to us then?"

"No problem," Feng Yiping agreed casually, "but wait, what do you want to do?"

Rubin is definitely not an avid Apple fan, "You don't want to crack it, do you?"

Rubin laughed a few times.

These guys!

Just as he was about to go home, he received a call from Ma Ling, "Ping, John and others are planning to come here for vacation again,"

"Oh, okay, when will they arrive?"

"Tomorrow afternoon, Annie will also come,"

Surprisingly, they came as soon as they said they would.

This is a bit embarrassing.

Tomorrow morning, Xiao Zhijie and Wang Changning will go to Silicon Valley, and they will also be accompanied by Huang Jingping's sister, Qinping.

As well as cousin Rongrong, cousin Chengcheng and Yangyang.
