Chapter 1209 Gap
Naturally, it was our boss Qiao who hosted Apple's new product launch this time. He enthusiastically began to tell the audience about the powerful data and capabilities of its own CP.
"We don't want to compare with any other products from the same industry!" Qiao Gangzhu said calmly, "But our products are indeed the best in the world!"
Then, after Gang Leader Qiao introduced it, the reporters and the audience at the scene realized that the display screen of Apple CP2 used the best Samsung LED display at present, and all data exceeded the latest screen of a friend.
data.
Well, given Gang Leader Qiao’s character, it is naturally impossible to say this directly. He doesn’t bother to compare with other people’s data. This is the PPT screen at the back, which very faithfully lists out a certain name that has been erased.
Data of friendly brands.
No way, this is the strong request of Apple's board of directors. They hope that there must be a comprehensive and clear data suppression of Tianzhou terminal at the press conference. The key is that you have to let the audience know that there is a gap.
Don't be so arrogant and don't say anything yourself. You must let the audience understand it on their own.
Of course, Jobs was very reluctant to do this, but the board of directors was very tough. They also wanted to change the CP into a terminal, so Jobs could only acquiesce to the changes they made on the PPT, while he pretended not to see it at all.
Go to the PPT behind.
In addition to the display, Apple CP also surpasses Tianzhou Terminal 3 in terms of chips, and the data displayed by the chip is also higher than Tianzhou 3.
In addition, there are also aspects such as camera, thickness and thickness that are surpassed. In the end, Apple listed 12 areas where it surpasses Tianzhou 3.
Every time Gang Leader Qiao mentioned an advantage, the audience burst into warm applause, and the atmosphere was always very lively.
But until Gang Leader Qiao started to announce the prices, the atmosphere at the scene seemed to be a bit off.
As we all know, the prices of Tianzhou terminals for three consecutive generations have almost remained unchanged.
That is the lowest configuration version, priced at US$399. At the beginning, the configuration of Tianzhou 1 was 500mb+4GB configuration.
By the time of Tianzhou 3, the minimum configuration has been upgraded to the 1G+8GB version, and various functions have been greatly improved, but the price is still US$399.
Later, the prices of different versions also varied, but the most expensive version, the 2GB+32GB version of Tianzhou 3, was only priced at US$999.
However, after Apple's CP price was announced, everyone was surprised to find that although the lowest version of Apple CP2 is priced at US$399, its configuration is a 1GB+4GB version. In other words, the cheapest version of Apple CP2 is priced the same as Tianzhou.
3 terminals are the same, but the capacity is reduced by 4GB.
After that, each different capacity version is almost $100 more expensive than the Tianzhou 3 with the same configuration. The highest version, CP2, is priced as high as $1,299, which is a full $300 higher.
This made it difficult for many viewers watching the live broadcast or at the scene to accept it, but Gang Leader Qiao's expression did not change at all. It seemed that this price was very normal. Apple's CP2 should be sold at this price without any problems.
But these issues will eventually come to light when the media asks questions.
A reporter asked Gang Leader Qiao on the spot what he thought of the pricing of Apple CP2.
Gang Leader Qiao took the microphone and did not dare to look at the reporter. At the same time, he said coldly, "Our Apple CP2 price is the price that is most suitable for the market. Because excellent products should be sold at corresponding prices."
Well, this is a bit angry, and the reporter also knows that it is not a good thing to continue to ask questions about the price.
So the second reporter named took the microphone and asked, "Mr. Jobs, at the new product launch conference just held in another city, Wu Ge officially announced that their new product is called Google Terminal, instead of using the previous name of Google PT.
, what do you think of this matter? Why doesn’t Apple join the terminal camp, but continues to insist on its own CP?”
"Sorry, this is Apple's new product launch conference. I'm not interested in answering other companies' questions!" Gang Leader Qiao said with a cold face, obviously getting more angry.
The third reporter named to ask a question was a reporter from Europe. She asked fluently, "Mr. Jobs, we think Apple's products this time are indeed very good and surpass their peers in many aspects. But I am concerned.
Look, all the data just now does not contain data from the iTunes store!"
"I think most end users have a consensus, that is, the terminal must be matched with a large amount of software, so that a terminal can have richer and more complete content. So I want to know what our users can do in the future.
How many programs and applications have you experienced in Apple CP2?"
"That's a good question!" Jobs finally showed a smile on his face. "About this, it is also something that we at Apple try our best to do well. At present, our Apple CP2 software developers have developed
We have hundreds of feature-rich software and applications, and we are also about to hold a developer conference to provide corresponding development tool kits to all companies and individuals interested in developing for Apple CP2."
"In addition, we are doing our best to open up the channel between PC and CP. Our Apple computer has been launched for more than 30 years, and its store contains a large number of rich applications and programs for users to carry out.
download."
"When the channel is opened, a large number of programs and applications in the PC store can be directly downloaded and used in the CP. In this way, Apple CP2 will have the richest software and application resource library in the world, far exceeding all other similar types.
Product!" Jobs' words caused a burst of cheers and applause from the audience.
At the same time, this idea of opening up the channel between PC and CP also shocked many people.
Yes, if all the programs in the PC can be installed directly in the terminal, then Apple's CP2 will really win. Many gamers have begun to imagine the scenes and scenes of playing Warcraft 5 on CP2.
This stand-alone game, which was only launched in June this year, once again took the entire gaming industry by storm. 150 million copies of the game were sold in just one month, making both Blizzard and OO Network lose money.
It would be really wonderful if this game could be played on a terminal, so everyone at the scene burst into applause.
Of course, when some professionals heard this statement, they could not help but sneer and said, "PCs and terminals are completely different usage scenarios. Not to mention that there is a technical link between the two.
How difficult it is, even if those PC installation packages can really be installed on the terminal, are you still going to connect an external mouse and keyboard to the terminal?"
No matter how everyone thinks of Apple's new product launch, there is no doubt that this new product launch has achieved great success. For a while, the entire Internet was talking about Apple's CP2.
Publicity and publicity has been rampant, and the entire Apple board of directors is also very satisfied. They are waiting for the global release in 20 days, ushering in another climax.
On the other hand, Google's new product launch conference did not seem to be so lucky, so the data of Google's terminal is actually similar to Apple's CP2, especially its chip data, which is exactly the same.
After all, the two chips are the same chip, but each has made certain optimizations for its own system, and then it becomes two chips with different rankings.
But one thing is that Google's accumulation of technology development is still much weaker than Apple's, so this leads to the fact that although the hardware levels of both parties are similar, the final data displayed by Android terminals is somewhat worse than Apple's.
Someone with good intentions will naturally put the products of the two companies together, and then thoughtfully make a table with various data side by side for comparison. As a result, Apple is more popular, and Google becomes smaller and smaller.
At the same time, the most important point is that Google’s naming has been greatly criticized across the Internet.
A large number of netizens were very angry and said that Google should stick to its true intentions like Apple and continue to name its second-generation product PT2.
Instead of catering to the disgusting market, learn from the Chinese, and forget about calling your new product a terminal. Then you will suddenly fall into the mud. Where is the pride of Americans?
All of a sudden, Larry Page was under considerable pressure. Because in the end it was Larry Page who made the decision to abandon the name PT and fully join the terminal camp. And this suddenly became an issue for the entire network.
Naturally, Larry Page will take the blame for the hot topic of criticism.
But Larry Page himself still insists that there is nothing wrong with his decision, because the market has recognized the category and name of the terminal product. If he still insists that there is no well-known PT, the final result will still be bad.
Absolutely.
Somehow, Larry Page's statement spread to the Internet, and was once again ridiculed by all netizens. Many netizens said that Google's terminal sales data will definitely be destroyed by Apple's CP.
of.
Soon, November 1st was the day when the two companies would release new products at the same time. This date was also agreed upon by the two companies in order to avoid unnecessary disputes.
Apple naturally follows tradition and adopts a process of simultaneous online and offline sales. However, because Google's terminals do not have the support of offline stores, they are all sold online, and the shipment volume at the same time is 500,000 units, which is the same as their original
The data is the same as when the previous generation product was released.
Netizens are definitely paying more attention to the sales of Apple CP2. A large number of netizens who are full and have nothing to do begin to stare at the changes in Apple's inventory figures on its official website.
I thought that all 500,000 units should be sold out within an hour. After all, the popularity is so high. However, an hour later, there are still about 400,000 units in stock. This means that within an hour, Apple, which was previously extremely popular, will be sold out.
Chapter completed!
