15 all series**!There are only 2 "Chinese accessories" that have been exposed, and the Cook 95 products are still made in China
Recently, Apple's CEO Tim Cook visited China again, which aroused widespread heated discussions and attention. His trip to China included a visit to an Apple store in Taikoo Li in Chengdu, a visit to a primary school in Ya'an, Sichuan, and a visit to Luxshare Precision's Zhejiang factory. This series of activities has not only attracted the attention of ** and users, but also sparked some speculation about whether his frequent appearances mean that Apple is concerned about the shortcomings of the iPhone 15 in the Chinese market.
Interestingly, it is reported that only 2% of the iPhone 15 series are in China, a drop of 4 compared to the previous iPhone 13 series5%。This figure has sparked widespread observation and speculation.
First of all, China has always been an important market for Apple, with iPhone sales in China reaching an all-time high of 43.1 million units in the second quarter of this year. Apple's production in China accounts for more than 90% of the world's share. However, there has been recent news that Apple has shifted some of its production capacity to countries such as India and Vietnam, and even some iPhone 15 production has already started in India. This raises questions about Apple's dependence on Made in China. Although Apple claims that India only accounts for 7% of the total, the market has not fully embraced this claim. According to data from Counterpoint Research, iPhone 15 sales fell by 4 percent after 17 days of its launch in the Chinese market5%, setting a record for the first week in Apple's history when sales fell below the issue price.
At the same time, Huawei launched the Mate15 ahead of the iPhone 60 release, a phone that showcases leading technologies such as satellite calling and its own chips. In contrast, the iPhone 15 is relatively conservative in innovation, with major improvements including a replacement Type C connector across the board, a sleek body design, and a titanium chassis. Even Elon Musk, the founder of Tesla, complained, "I can't tell the difference between the iPhone 15 and the old version." ”
In the highly competitive mobile phone market, Huawei Mate60 has risen rapidly with the advantages of independent technology, and its weekly sales have surpassed Apple and become the leader of the domestic mobile phone market. This proves once again that mastering cutting-edge technologies is crucial to market competition, whether in the mobile phone industry or in the field of chips.
In the field of biotechnology, the same is true, Europe and the United States once relied on the first-mover advantage of biotechnology to grasp the pricing power of Shi Ji Na anti-aging supplements. However, with the emergence of domestic equipment and the sharp drop in production costs, such supplements have gradually flowed into Jingdong and are popular among the middle class. In addition, the Tsinghua-Beijing University Joint Center for Undergraduate Science and Harvard University have also released research on the positive effect of nicotinamide molecule on the human body, which can positively extend the life span of mice by 30%, attracting the attention of financial and Internet executives.
In the future, it is still unknown who will dominate the Chinese market. Apple CEO Tim Cook once again emphasized: "Now 95% of Apple products are still produced in China. However, with Huawei regaining its foothold in the high-end market and the rise of domestic brands, Apple is facing greater market competition pressure. The "toothpaste-squeezing" update strategy that Apple relied on in the past may no longer be able to adapt to the changes in the Chinese market. The Chinese market may be a new challenge for Apple.
