The status quo of folding screen mobile phones is not fat but bones, Apple has a vision?
Some time ago, it was reported that among the top five mobile phone manufacturers in China, one company gave up the large-size folding screen, and two companies gave up the small-size folding screen, but it was not specified which company.
Huawei, Honor, Xiaomi, OPPO, vivo, Huawei is still launching mobile phones, and it has an absolute advantage, but Huawei may not be able to do it, so it must be the other four companies.
Of course, no one knows whether this is true or not, but it can be seen from the news that the folding screen mobile phone is now a big cake, but after actually showing it, I know that it is just a piece of fat.
Huawei's MateX series and Samsung's Old series caused quite a stir as soon as they entered the foldable phone market, and everyone thought that this phone would be the best model ever.
Due to the high cost of folding screens, all major mobile phone manufacturers are trying to jump on the bandwagon.
Companies such as Huawei, Samsung, Lenovo, Xiaomi, Oppo, Vivo, and Honor have started producing foldable screen phones.
But will foldable phones be as popular as you think? This is not the case, as foldable screen phones are only a niche brand, with only 3 million units sold in 2022 and 7 million units in 2023. Authorities expect that number to rise to more than 10 million by 2024.
By 2023, China will have 2700 million smartphones, of which only 26% are foldable screen phones.
What's more, this 2The 6% share, or $7 million in sales, is split equally among the major manufacturers, each with only a small share.
Judging from the above data, Huawei's share is 37%, that is, a total of 2.62 million mobile phones sold; OPPO's share is 18%, equivalent to 1.28 million units; Honor sold 1.24 million units; Samsung sold 7.77 million units.
Even if each device sells for 10,000 yuan, only Huawei makes money, and other large companies don't make much money.
Finally, the ** of the folding screen is very high, plus a series of costs such as R&D and marketing.
Many people regard the folding screen as a magic weapon to make money, but after several years of hard work, they found that this is just a simple chicken rib, as far as the current situation is concerned, the problem is not big, just a niche toy, or retreat.
There are also those who believe that Apple had the foresight to know that the phone would not be popular or popular, so it did not put it on the market.
