Apple announced an accelerated evacuation, Cook was called an "old fox", and foreign media questioned his decision
After Cook's visit to China, Apple announced some big news, the future iPhone 15 series standard version will be shipped from India, and other models will continue to be produced in China, which has attracted the attention of the industry.
Many people are worried that Apple may accelerate its withdrawal from the Chinese market. However, it is generally believed that the purpose of Apple's decision is to get more profits and more flexible chain management.
As a world-renowned technology company, Apple has been a leader in the global mobile device market. However, in the context of tension and friction between China and the United States in recent years, Apple has begun to face many challenges.
In order to avoid potential business risks, Apple is constantly looking for alternative chains outside the world and gradually entering foreign markets.
You must know that during Cook's visit to China, he met with China's Minister of Commerce Wang Wentao, the main content of which is the development of Apple in the Chinese market, and China promises to give Apple better development.
The price Apple needs to pay is to contribute more revenue to China, especially the company's dependence on Chinese manufacturing needs to be reduced to a certain extent.
But now it is already clear that Cook has not only failed to fulfill the demand for in-depth cooperation with China, but has instead increased India's presence"Fruit chain"in importance.
However, it is generally believed that this is only part of Apple's plan to promote the diversification of the global ** chain, and Apple has no intention of withdrawing from China.
On the contrary, Apple will continue to maintain long-term relationships with Chinese manufacturers to produce its high-end, high-value products in China, which also proves the trend of Apple's global ** chain diversification.
A diversified chain can provide Apple with greater flexibility and opportunities to expand its business, while reducing potential business risks.
However, it should be noted that the friction with China will bring many challenges and uncertainties to Apple's future business development.
After all, since Huawei was restricted by the United States, its share of the high-end smartphone market has been almost entirely taken by Apple, and it now has a tendency to shift some of its production to India, so our country is bound to bring a certain degree of resistance.
It is noteworthy that, according to the Russian Sputnik news agency,"Apple is in talks with the company about the possible production of MacBook laptops in Thailand as part of Apple's plan to continue diversifying its chain from China"。
This shows that Apple is making progress in diversifying the global ** chain, and to some extent, it is also preventing China"Catch up"Part of Apple's plan.
This also reflects Apple's sensitivity and ability to react to global market trends. Apple has always presented itself as a free and open company, which allows it to have a very flexible chain structure.
In the face of global friction and an unstable market environment, Apple is constantly seeking new solutions to maintain its core competitiveness and profitability.
Apple's accelerated withdrawal from China is not the current mainstream orientation, and cooperation with China's ** chain is still very important to Apple, especially in the production of high-end products, Apple needs high-level skilled workers and ** chain.
After all, India has previously been exposed to produce iPhone cases with a yield rate of only 50%, so although Apple is diversifying its chain globally, its business model in China is still very important.
It is foreseeable that in the future, Apple will continue to maintain a good cooperative relationship with Chinese manufacturers, produce its high-end, high-value products in China, and at the same time deal with potential friction and resolve risks.
You know, in 2022 alone, Apple's revenue in China will reach $74.2 billion, which is definitely a lot of revenue for enterprises.
And Cook is also very clear about China's attitude, if the price of withdrawing from the Chinese market is to completely lose the Chinese market, then not only the revenue will decline sharply, but even the production line will be seriously affected.
Therefore, Apple announced that the standardized version of the iPhone 15 series will be shipped from India in the future, which does not mean that Apple will withdraw from the Chinese market, but hopes to better manage the global ** chain and stabilize the development of the enterprise.
After all, Cook is indeed one"Old fox", be able to control the market, seize development opportunities, and achieve long-term stable development of the company.
In China, though"De-low-end"On the basis of the strategy, I hope that everyone can also pay attention to the people's appeal and reduce the number of iPhones"Dependency"Don't let the money you use to buy digital products become the capital of the United States to show off!
