The Apple ** chain moved to India, why China does not ban the sale of apples.
As the world's largest smartphone manufacturer, their sales are not as good as Samsung's, but both revenue and profit are much higher than Samsung's. This is due to Apple's focus on high-end smartphones in China, and there are hardly any companies that can compete with Huawei when it comes to high-end smartphones.
At one time, Apple was known as the world's most valuable technology company, once the largest company in the world, with assets of $3 trillion and annual operating income of more than $100 billion, making it one of the most profitable companies in the world. The most profitable is a Saudi oil company.
From this number, we can easily see the huge impact that Apple has had on the smartphone market. So, what exactly makes Apple so strong?Some in the industry attribute Apple's success to its creativity and technology, but in fact, with Cook's arrival, Jobs' rule ended, and Apple's product innovation became worse and worse from generation to generation.
Since the iPhone 11, many people have complained that their products are realized by relying on the Dynamic Island, while Apple's Dynamic Island is like a semi-finished product with a lot of bugs. And not so long ago, Apple launched the iPhone 15 and spent 3 hours showing off its bezels and exterior design.
Although Apple's sales and market share are declining, there are still many people who choose the iPhone, and the iPhone 15 sold more than 10 million units soon after its release.
From Apple's various performances, many people in the industry believe that the reason why Apple can occupy a place in the field of smart phones is because of its own ecological chain and excellent ** chain. Apple's chip, on the other hand, is the only A-series developed by itself, and the system is the only iOS system developed by itself.
Many people have become Xi to ios, whether it is some Xi habits of users, or a variety of software, or even payment, they are inseparable from ios. If you want to change to a new one, then you will encounter a lot of problems, such as the account being transferred, or even blocked, which also gives Apple a lot of customers.
And this industrial chain, also known as the "industrial chain", is because of such a huge industrial chain, so Apple's output will be so "terrifying". Apple occupies a considerable market in the world, and almost all iPhone sales are above 10 million units.
This is also a big factor why Apple is making iPhones quickly around the world.
According to statistics, 28% of Apple's ** chain are ** merchants from China, while ** merchants in Chinese mainland and ** merchants in Taiwan, China, occupy half of the entire ** chain. Ninety-five percent of the iPhones produced by Apple are produced in China, produced and sold all over the world.
In recent years, Apple has been working hard to achieve "de-Chinaization" and reduce the share of Chinese merchants on its chain. According to statistics released by Japan's ** and analysis company, iPhone 13 parts account for only 4 percent in China5%, and after the iPhone 15 hit the market, only 2% remained.
Moreover, Apple also provides 15% of the assembly work for the iPhone 5% in India, and according to the company's internal data, more than 25% of the iPhones produced in India will reach 25% by 2025. It has also been previously reported that Apple is planning to put the iPhone 17 on a line in India, which is also the first time that the iPhone has been placed outside of China for research and development.
Apple has now included 14 companies including Foxconn, Wistron and Luxshare, and 14 companies including Chinese companies, including India's Tata, to India.
All the news points to the fact that Apple is working to move more production capacity to India. Now Foxconn, Wistron and other companies have set up factories in India and have begun production, showing their willingness to move their capabilities and chains to India.
But can India afford such production?Now it seems that there is still hope, but it is a little more difficult. Transferring production capacity to India will not only make India's industry better, but also upgrade their industrial level.
And the difficulty of this is also due to some special reasons in India. For example, in India, although the cost of labor is cheaper, the quality of labor in India is poor, workers cannot accept overtime, it is difficult to manage, and they even pray while working, which can seriously affect their productivity.
Apple's assembly and production is a labor-intensive industry that does not require high technology, so the requirements for production are not high. Capacity is determined by the number of employees, the number of production lines and the number of hours worked. To put it simply, it is not enough to have manpower and equipment, but also to have more working hours.
However, if there are enough people and enough assembly lines, it doesn't matter if you work overtime. However, in this way, it is necessary not only to increase the cost of machinery, manpower, etc., but also to increase the operating expenses of enterprises. Bringing 100 people and bringing 10 people is not ten times more difficult, it is simply a hundred times more difficult.
If Apple were to move its production base to India, it would certainly run into all sorts of problems, such as Wistron's Wistron in India, which "rioted" due to workers' dissatisfaction with wages and working hours, which eventually led to a fire that destroyed a lot of machines and iPhones. But later, they decided to withdraw from India and give the Indian production base to Tata at an extremely low **.
In other words, if they can't solve all these problems, they will face threats from other countries, and it will be very difficult for the Indian market to invest more resources in India.
This move made many Chinese netizens very angry, and some even said that China is going to ban the use of Apple mobile phones?But now it seems that China does not mean to ban Apple, but only does not allow public servants to use electronic devices such as iPhones during working hours.
This is because, once China bans Apple, many Chinese companies will lose their jobs as a result, and even seriously damage their reputation around the world.
