I don't know if you have noticed it, Apple's Vision Pro has been extremely popular recently, and almost all digital bloggers have flocked to it, but friends around me can't see anyone buying. This situation is very simple, Apple does not sell Vision Pro in China at all, the reason is that Apple cannot use Huawei patents, and if you want to sell this product in China, you must pay Huawei money, or you can only sell it publicly after changing the name.
Apple's Vision Pro has caused a global sensation after its launch, and Ultraman, the founder of Open AI and the father of Chat GPT, praised this as another exciting product after the iPhone, believing that it has a cross-era product. As a professional, he gave a super high evaluation, and ordinary Apple fans are even more sought after, but what makes domestic fruit fans feel uncomfortable is that they can't buy it at all, unless they add money to "overseas shopping", why doesn't Apple launch Vision Pro in China?
Some people think that Apple does not sell Vision Pro in China because it has no confidence and is afraid that it will not be able to sell it at all, so it will only be launched in a few regions such as the United States to test the waters, and will only be promoted to more regions around the world after success. Some people also think that the technology content of Vision Pro is too high, the production is too difficult, and the production capacity cannot keep up in a short time, and it can only meet the needs of American fans at present, and the global version will be launched after the production capacity ramps up in the future.
In fact, there is some truth in the above two reasons, but there is another fundamental reason that no one mentions, that is, Apple will definitely not agree to sell Vision Pro in China, which is the most fundamental reason.
At this time, there are many fruit fans who are indignant, Apple can sell whatever it wants, can Huawei manage it? It really cares, it turns out that Huawei registered the Vision Pro trademark as early as 2019, which includes LCD TVs, head-mounted virtual reality devices, wireless devices and other equipment. In other words, Huawei owned the trademark four years before Apple launched the Vision Pro, and Apple was not allowed to use the name at all.
There are only two ways for Apple to launch Vision Pro in China, either change its name to "Vision Pro" in China, or buy trademark ownership from Huawei, otherwise Apple has no right to launch the product in China. Judging from the current situation of the industry, Apple will most likely need to change its name before it can be sold, and Huawei should not allow Apple to use the Vision Pro trademark, after all, Huawei is not short of money, and it has to use it itself.
A number of industry insiders broke the news that Huawei is developing a head-mounted virtual reality device, using a self-developed Kirin chip, which can achieve almost delay-free gesture space operation, equipped with Sony4K screen, and the price should be around 15,000 yuan. Huawei is going to launch its own products in the future, so it should use the Vision Pro trademark, so why sell the right to use it to Apple? Apple may not be able to buy it with money.
Friends, do you think Huawei should allow Apple to use the Vision Pro trademark?
