Apple is a world-renowned technology company, Apple's iPhone won the vast majority of the global high-end smartphone market, not long ago Apple also relied on the strong demand for iPhone mobile phones to return to a market value of three trillion US dollars, which has attracted widespread attention from the international community.
Judging from the relevant data, Apple's market share in China's mobile phone market has increased from 8% to 20%, returning to the top position. In the second quarter of this year, Apple's shipments in other regions were **, but in China it was small**.
This undoubtedly proves the importance of the Chinese market to Apple, not only that, more than 80% of the production capacity of iPhone mobile phones is currently in Chinese mainland, although Cook has been reducing the number and value proportion of Chinese component manufacturers in the Apple ** chain, and there are plans to transfer assembly OEM capacity to India, Vietnam and other regions, but from the current situation, Apple can not completely get rid of its dependence on the Chinese market for a long time.
After Huawei, a competitor, suffered a serious setback because it was included in the entity list, Apple's market share continued to increase, and it began to become more and more "arrogant". iPhone15 has been criticized by a lot of consumers due to its innovation and poor quality control.
But what people didn't expect was that in the face of consumer dissatisfaction, Apple's senior management directly said: If you don't like the iPhone, you can buy an Android phone. This response is nothing short of unbridled and pushes consumers out.
In fact, Apple's arrogant moves in recent years don't stop there. In order to get more benefits and licensing fees, Apple still insists on doing its own thing even in the face of repeated statements by the European Union and China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.
After the European Union said that it would ban the sale of iPhones if the C interface was not replaced, Apple reluctantly replaced the C port on the iPhone15, but what people didn't expect was that Apple used the C interface and also used version differentiation for the charging speed and transmission speed. If you buy the ordinary version of the iPhone15, you will have to face a slower charging speed and transmission speed, and some foreign media even said that it is enough to see that Cook, the old fox, wants to get more benefits in this way.
In the face of Apple's behavior, many consumers also began not to buy it, after all, how can consumers beg merchants to sell goods to themselves, and it is not that there is no other choice. According to the data released by market research agencies, the sales of iPhone phones are far lower than expected, and even the estimated shipments of 10 million units have been lowered before the launch.
In the face of consumer dissatisfaction, Cook also began to "play", when he visited the Chinese market in October this year, he not only visited the local OEM company Luxshare Precision, but also said many times: Apple is inseparable from the Chinese market, very optimistic about the Chinese market, and is willing to develop together with China's ** chain.
But Cook said so, but in fact he didn't do it, it is still accelerating the transfer of the ** chain, Apple also announced that it will produce 25% of iPhones in India by 2025, and put the research and development of iPhone17 in Indian factories. Not only that, Apple has also kicked out 47 Chinese ** companies out of the Apple ** chain.
What Cook didn't expect was that Apple's arrogant attitude finally ushered in a "backlash", judging from the recent news, three countries have begun to ban iPhones, and one of them has even banned iPhones completely.
First of all, both China and Russia have previously restricted the use of iPhones and other Apple products by ** personnel and civil servants during work. Not only that, but Russia is considering banning personal use of iPhones. Some industry insiders said that this may be related to Apple devices stealing users' private data many times without permission and transmitting them back to the United States.
On top of that, Turkey has started a complete ban on the sale of iPhones, and it is currently impossible to buy iPhones in Apple's own stores in Turkey. Some industry insiders said: This may be related to Apple's previous stop of sales in Turkey, because the Turkish fiat currency has been depreciating and the value is unstable, so Apple made this decision. Turkey was very dissatisfied with this, so it directly banned the sale of Apple mobile phones.
Judging from the data released by market research agencies, after the partial ban on iPhone sales in the Russian market, its market share has fallen from 20% to 1%. This basically means that even without a complete ban on Apple's sales, there will be no shipments in the Russian market.
Postscript:
As a world-renowned mobile phone manufacturer, Apple's iPhone has been recognized and welcomed by many consumers, and has performed well in major markets around the world. However, due to the various problems of the iPhone and Apple's arrogant attitude towards things, it has now been partially banned in Russia, and even more so in Turkey.
