Chapter 57: Apple 8 falls out of favor

The emergence of the Xingchen mobile phone system has turned all low-end and mid-range mobile phones into high-end mobile phones in seconds. In particular, domestic mobile phones are basically low-end. So domestic mobile phone users have ushered in spring.

They can use cheap mobile phones, but the effect of using them is perfectly suppressing Apple mobile phones.

This phenomenon directly led to the fall from favor of Apple 8 when it was launched in 2017!

Apple 8 was launched a month after the Xingchen mobile phone system appeared. Now a few months have passed, and the sales of Apple 8 are simply terrible. With the emergence of Xingchen mobile phones, many advantages of Apple mobile phones have instantly become no advantages. Instead, it has shortcomings all over the body.

What were the advantages of Apple mobile phones in the past? Smooth operation, no system jams, thorough cache cleaning, and beautiful and fashionable design. Now the only remaining advantage is probably the beautiful and fashionable design.

But there are several shortcomings.

First, the price is expensive, six or seven thousand for a mobile phone!

Second, it’s expensive. But when I use it, I can beat you in seconds with a thousand-yuan phone installed with a Xingchen mobile phone system. So will domestic users still buy your Apple 8? The answer is-NO!

Originally, the sales of Apple mobile phones in China began to decline after the launch of iPhone 7. With the launch of iPhone 8, it has almost no highlights and is similar to iPhone 7. So those loyal Apple fans are very disappointed. Even without the emergence of the Xingchen mobile phone system, its sales are estimated to be worse than that of iPhone 7.

But now with the Xingchen mobile phone system kicking it from behind, iPhone 8 is expected to die in dystocia soon.

Before 2009, it was the world of Nokia. At that time, if you had a Nokia N85 or N97, you were definitely a rich man in the middle class of the school and a fighter in the company.

But after 2009, it was the world of Android phones and Apple phones. As for domestic mobile phones, almost no one bought them.

The most powerful Android phones are Samsung, Sony Ericsson, HTC, Motorola, etc., and the most powerful Apple phones are Apple.

Anyway, before 2013, all mobile phones were dominated by foreign mobile phones! Domestic mobile phones could not even raise their heads.

At that time, you couldn't afford a luxury Apple phone, but if you could buy a Samsung, it would show your status as a local tyrant. If you couldn't afford a Samsung, it would be great to buy a Sony Ericsson or Motorola.

However, since 2013, with the rise of domestic mobile phones. You suddenly found that people around you, including you, didn't use Samsung phones anymore. As for HTC and Motorola, they are almost gone now. Sony phones can no longer make it in the low-end market. They can only make a few high-end phones, but the sales are dismal.

In recent years, you will find that people around you, friends, classmates, family and relatives are almost using domestic phones or Apple. Samsung and the like, almost no one uses them.

To be honest, Samsung's whereabouts in China have been declining for the past three or four years. In the first half of 2017, Samsung's mobile phone sales in China's offline market fell by 65.8%.

Samsung phones are expensive and not as good as Apple phones. Only idiots buy Samsung!

On the contrary, the rise of domestic phones in recent years can be described as a gusher.

The sales data of major global mobile phone manufacturers in 2016 clearly shows from the ranking that seven of the top ten are Chinese manufacturers, and among the top fourteen, Chinese manufacturers occupy as many as 10 seats.

Huawei's total shipments in 2016 were about 139 million units, an increase of about 33%, firmly sitting on the first throne in China. OPPO and vivo followed Huawei closely, ranking fourth and fifth, among which vivo's total shipments were about 76 million units, an increase of 89%.

Now, many men choose Huawei and Xiaomi, while girls prefer OPPO or vivo.

And foreign mobile phones such as Samsung and Ericsson, almost no one is willing to buy them. Anyway, like Samsung, its sales in China are currently dismal. Although its total sales are the first in the world, its main market is currently in the world, and the Chinese market does not buy Samsung at all.

Even Apple is now out of favor in China.

Now that there is the Xingchen mobile phone system in China, those users prefer to use domestic mobile phones, which are cheap and powerful! It is estimated that in a few years, all foreign-funded mobile phones in China will be GG.

Apple China Branch.

Jack took the sales report of Apple 8 this month, and his eyebrows became a Sichuan shape, because it said that the monthly sales volume was only 100,000 units! 100,000 units, so few, so few that he seriously suspected that the statistician had written a missing zero?

A few months ago, when Apple 8 was launched, the monthly sales volume was more than 1 million units, and the second month it dropped to 300,000 units, and this month there were only 100,000 units left...

"Damn, damn Xingchen mobile phone system!" Jack was so angry that he tore up the report.

Jack knew that Apple 8 was originally not satisfactory to some Apple fans, and now with the emergence of Xingchen mobile phones, those users did not want to buy Apple 8.

"It seems that we can only submit a price reduction strategy to the headquarters." Jack sighed. If the price is not reduced, it is estimated that Apple mobile phones will not be sold. But it is probably the first time in Apple's history that the price has been greatly reduced shortly after it was launched.

He knew that if the price was reduced by a few hundred yuan, it would probably not work. At least a price reduction of one or two thousand yuan would attract those users to buy! But if the two companies only sell for one or two thousand yuan, will the Apple phone still be a luxury Apple phone?

The answer is: NO!

…………

Samsung.

At this time, a group of senior executives were holding a meeting.

"Did you know that the Xingchen mobile phone system that appeared in China already has 300 million users?"

"Not only that, it also has 30 million users in the European and American markets."

"It is already catching up with Android and Apple systems, and I feel it can beat Android and Apple systems."

"Our Samsung's sales in China have been declining in recent years. If this continues, it is estimated that our Samsung will withdraw from the Chinese mobile phone market."

"I have thought of a way now, that is, to acquire Xingchen Technology Co., Ltd., and all our Samsung mobile phones will be installed with the Xingchen mobile phone system, which may help our Samsung sales to a higher level."

"Well, this can be considered!"

…………

Now Qin Hailang is very clear that his Xingchen mobile phone system can only compete with Android and Apple in the domestic market, but it is still in a weak state in the foreign market.

But it doesn't matter. He originally wanted to take over the domestic market first, and then move on to the international market!

Then, it will be time to implement his big money-making plan!
