Wifi7 technology has received great attention because of the leakage of Zunpai, and there is recent news that the wifi7 technical standard is about to be approved, and many domestic mobile phone companies have also claimed that they can quickly support wifi7 technology. Originally, according to the development trend of the technology industry, the more advanced the technology, the more comfortable it is to use, but it is different for mobile phone users.
The upgrade of WiFi technology can further improve the efficiency of resource utilization, and the development of more advanced WiFi technology such as WiFi6 is for this purpose, on the one hand, it improves the transmission rate, on the other hand, it is to make better use of the efficiency of data transmission, and then make better use of resources.
WiFi technology allows multiple mobile phones to connect to WiFi AP at the same time, but old technologies such as WiFi5 allow each mobile phone to occupy a channel, while WiFi6 allows each channel to connect multiple mobile phones, when one of the mobile phones does not transmit data during the connection process, the other mobile phone can use this channel to transmit data, so that the same WiFi AP can access more mobile phones.
However, the upgrade of wifi technology,Need to be compatible with old devices,The industry can't abandon the old equipment,That's the end of the industry,After all, 2016iPhone6、Intel Core i7-7700There are still many users in use,If WiFi AP does not support these old devices, they will only be abandoned by a large number of users,It will also cause a messy market,And technology upgrades have always followed the route of compatibility with old technology。
In this case, there is a special situation, when there are several old devices in the WiFi AP, the WiFi AP will assign these channels to these old devices separately, and other new devices will share the channel with other new devices, so these old devices are not very cool
In today's rapid technological upgrading, China's mobile phone market has a special situation, that is, the second-hand mobile phone market is expanding, while the new mobile phone market is shrinking, forming a sharp contrast.
Data from the first quarter of 2022 shows that China's second-hand mobile phone transaction volume reached 18 million units, when the shipment of new phones was 53.88 million units, and the second-hand mobile phone shipments reached almost 40% of the new phone market, and in the first half of 2023, a second-hand mobile phone platform said that the second-hand mobile phone transaction volume increased by 30%, highlighting the prosperity of the second-hand mobile phone market.
In contrast, mobile phone shipments in the Chinese market fell below 300 million units to 28.5 billion units, and the number of mobile phone shipments in the Chinese market in the first half of 2023 fell further to 12.4 billion units, until September 2023, the number of mobile phone shipments in the Chinese market did not appear**, but I am afraid that the mobile phone shipments in the Chinese market in 2023 may still fall below 2500 million units.
The same is true for the second-hand PC market, the hot sales of these old devices, on the one hand, their performance is enough to cope, on the other hand, the new machine is getting more and more expensive, consumers are unwilling to spend money on new equipment, and even some mobile phone users say that the mobile phone has been used for 4 years and is reluctant to replace.
The prosperity of the second-hand equipment market is contrary to the company's hope to promote the sales of products with advanced technology, and the upgrade of wifi technology seems to be more beneficial to old users, which is not too easy for enterprises to hope to attract consumers to buy new mobile phones with wifi7 technology, which is obviously what mobile phone companies do not want to see, but the market reality is so, they are helpless.
