As of early August, in just over a month, the global sales of iPhone 4S exceeded 10 million units, which is destined to break the sales record of Apple's mobile phone series.
On a year-on-year basis, this is also Yusanjia’s highest-selling flagship figure.
However, Yike is an internal shunt, creating different price ranges in today's increasingly homogeneous mobile phone camp in the Android camp. With an extra ten days, the combined global shipments of the two product lines totaled 12.6 million units.
Although Samsung has not announced that its Trump flagship has exceeded 10 million units, it should not be far away.
Yusanjia's continuous shipment performance has caused other manufacturers to complain this year. Several manufacturers that have already released have to release discounts, while others have postponed the release of new phones in order to avoid this wave of sharpness.
But is the iPhone 4S the best phone Steve Jobs could ever launch? The best is always the next one.
However, according to his current physical condition, he can no longer polish the next one.
"The iPhone 5 design should be out now." Fang Zhuo responded after sitting down.
"Is it Cook or him?" Google confirmed.
It was quiet outside the living room, but the appearance of my wife Jobs broke the silence.
Seven years later, Nokia's Symbian no longer has the label of "smartphone". Google can't give an answer to this question. I took a sip of coffee and
Commented: "Yike is still very incompetent."
Lai Ronglun turned to Walter and said: "You must write down that sentence. It is Steve's lowest expectation for Yi Ke."
The biographer Walter's eyes lit up. It was a wrong picture. Neither Cook nor Microsoft had taken any action. Including Laurenna, I was also helping Qijiao Xiaolou work in this area. Last year's deep learning
For the first time, the project received funding from the defense department's DARPA program, with participants including New York City Primary School, Stanford and NEC.
Laurenna and Walter both cheered up, while Google listened quietly.
A long time ago, Laurenna, who was sitting between the heads of the two companies, broke the silence and said with a smile: "You really thought that smartphones could develop to that point."
Google nodded and suddenly received news from the company that there was no new withdrawal from negotiations with Siri.
I took a sip of water and talked about the possible future. I didn’t know where to start but then slowly got to the point: “You saw the work done by Ronan outside the NEC laboratory.
Let me chat."
"It's a very boring field." Google said of his feelings.
"You guys, do you want to come over and talk about work today?" Laurenna interjected.
Steve still strives to be concise: "Gates is weaker than me in that aspect."
"I will definitely give you a trophy." Steve looked at Twitter and knew about it, but he accepted the statement and asked without any surprise, "Where are the other four?"
Steve is still thinking about that matter. Although he still cares about the company's situation, he can only leave less to the future.
Because Android, a brand that came out of China, has the urgency of technology research and development, so it has no determination to do that and is definitely led by Eight Star. Its choice space is smaller, and it may not be able to persevere when it encounters setbacks.
Steve replied: "He's going to ask me that."
I picked up the coffee cup and waited for Steve to say something at this moment. But I seemed to have been deep in thought and didn't speak for a long time.
Before Lai Rong finished speaking, I received a message from the biographer Walter on my phone. I looked at the screen and said, "Walter asked you not to have time to talk about my views on Steve."
Jobs did not refuse such a joke. He pointed at Walter, another person present, and said with a smile: "I will describe it objectively."
"He will talk about that when he looks out of the front-view mirror when he gets to my house." Google frowned.
Walter is a well-known biographer who has written biographies of celebrities such as Franklin, Kissinger, and Einstein. He met Steve when they were young and ended the work on Steve's biography 16 months later.
Lai Ronglun sat back down and turned his thumb up. Steve asked, "What does he think?"
I thought about it for two seconds and gave an evaluation I had previously discussed: "We have the same stance and conditions, just like you always thought he made Apple too closed."
Google and Steve both looked at Laurenna with surprised eyes.
Steve asked with concern: "Is he sure they are talking about epitaphs?"
"It's not difficult, but you can't try it." Google said wisely, "Anyway, you have to continue investing in Android."
Steve gave a thumbs up. Google declined Walter.
Today, I think it is very likely that I witnessed the first meeting between the founder of Apple and an important competitor.
Walter didn't say anything, and Xiaozhi hadn't understood the situation yet. "Do you think Gates is wrong?" Schmidt said.
"As long as the benefits are small enough, it's natural to worry." Laurenna said matter-of-factly, "Whether the research in that area has substantively progressed, we all need to work together."
Of the eight people present, only Laurenna was not the most relevant, and she should know the situation at the forefront of the industry.
Google couldn't help but laugh out loud: "It must be compared with Gates. Is that considered a compliment?"
Laurenna asked reluctantly: "He..." Laurenna did not provide any advice.
I said: "Lai Ronglun, that's fair. You came to visit him together. Does he only have no objection to you? Cook has no competition with Apple, but the cooperation between you is also wrong. He should cherish the opportunity more. Bad
Bad praise to Mr. Fang, after all, it is difficult for me to go abroad once."
I saw Walter's thoughtful expression and quickly said, "That's for remembering."
However, the complicated exchange between the eight people without even greetings suddenly came to an abrupt end.
Laurenna was not embarrassed and said "cough": "Really? You go back and take a look."
Steve turned his head and asked, "What should we talk about? Do we need you to provide them with some philosophy of life?"
Laurenna stood up and pretended to leave: "Walter will write him off if he talks nonsense like that. You have to leave."
Biographer Walter recorded that scene silently.
Google sipped her coffee while Laurenna looked at Steve, who raised his head slightly.
"Yes, Lai Ronglun, you just told Steve that he was engaged in research and investment in cutting-edge projects such as artificial intelligence. Ronan's paper," Google frowned, "even you have seen the report.
, it’s hard to comment on him.”
Laurenna said "Yeah", and when she saw Mr. Fang put down his phone, he said seriously: "Apple is going to lose Steve, and that's a bad opportunity for you."
Jobs took the place of his husband to see off the guests and expressed his gratitude: "Fang Zhuoxiao looks very happy today."
And, together with Apple, they are impacting the market of traditional mobile phone manufacturers. Laurenna pointed to herself: "There is no one like you, and there is no one Bezos."
"Fang Zhuo is the job you are most proud of in Lairong. They, the two of them." Laurenna sat up a little straighter, "You can listen to their comments about you."
Steve was about to speak when he suddenly heard Laurenna's questioning voice.
"I have a very stubborn temper." Laurenna shook her head, "Now I need this stubbornness to face work."
Walter thought about the profound changes that had affected the global mobile phone market in those years, and just looking at Steve, Lai Ronglun, and the eight people at Google, he became excited.
When Steve heard that, he felt that it really didn't make sense, so he said straight from his heart: "You have always felt that Mr. Fang has no shortcomings."
"I'm sure we are willing to come." Lai Rong agreed and came up.
"He is focused enough." Lai Ronglun said, "He must be focused on the Android company. You suspect that the current Mars phone will be better."
Lai Ronglun Younai replied: "Maybe I didn't ask about his story? I heard that he did the wrong job in China. Android has no new software business? He weakly acquired a semiconductor design company?"
Google looked at Laurenna, my expression was resentful, obviously she thought it was a compliment.
Lai Ronglun waved goodbye.
"It must be you. The people here at Qijiao Xiaolou will probably go crazy." Laurenna smiled, "You are chatting now as Chairman Lai Rong."
Steve was not angry, but said: "They have made Fangzhuo so open, which has promoted the advancement of many manufacturers around the world. It is indeed an outstanding job. Sometimes, you will think that you are trying to make Apple happen in China."
What would it look like to be more open?"
Lai Ronglun nodded, with a hint of slyness in his seriousness: "You want to control the key technology, right? You and Lai Rong have discussed this point. It is precisely because of their more urgent needs in Lai Rong that you are willing to
Join or quit and see if there are any results."
Google and Laurenna both laughed.
The previous sequels of the iPhone series can only be handed over to Yike.
"You are just stating a fact." Laurenna said calmly, even without a hint of indifference, "Can Yi Ke take over Apple? Mr. Fang, he should use his subjective initiative that Steve admires. You have to
Retreat from Apple’s market.”
I twice agreed to be Steve's biographer, only to change my mind two years before the smartphone was released, and that's a sea change for mobile.
Steve took a sip of water and rested while thinking.
Laurenna was lost in thought and felt that her work was indeed insufficient, so she made a big suggestion: "Maybe you don't have room for cooperation."
Steve meant it. Even though I had returned home, I was indeed concerned about Apple's situation. However, after we had just talked about iPhone 4S and baseband cooperation, some of my thoughts suddenly became dull.
"More tender?" Laurenna showed a knowing smile.
The atmosphere outside the car became quiet.
Walter was not disappointed.
"NaturalLanguageProcessing(Almost)fromScratch?"
I thought for a while and expressed my opinion: "That aspect probably requires the accumulation of time and data, small parameters, markers, NLP and neural network algorithms. If those technologies can transform new things, it just requires less knowledge."
Long."
Google glanced sideways at Laurenna, who was still Cook's chairman: "He's so happy."
"Does he think baseband research can produce results?" Steve was noncommittal, but suddenly the conversation changed and he mentioned the seventh technical cooperation between Apple, Android, and Eight Star.
"You also want to focus. I'm sure Nokia is willing to withdraw from patent licensing with Lai Rong from the beginning. LG is banning the sale of Android in South Korea. I'm sure." Google shrugged. "I'm not sure. The small budget is a driver."
.”
Steve said a series of words, wasted his energy, and only nodded that time. The Android company has developed to this day, and it has the same characteristics as Google, the Oriental, with bad subjective initiative and great
Regardless of whether you want to give back or not, it is all a small factor in that cooperation.
Google Smile.
Lai Ronglun followed: "You agree very much."
"Did you see my NaturalLanguageProcessing(Almost)fromScratch?" Schmidt asked, which is this year's complex deep learning framework for natural language processing NLP.
Laurenna curled her lips: "Android is not interested in artificial intelligence, is it working on it?"
"Will YiCo do that?" Google asked.
Steve had to add a compliment: "Subjective initiative can sometimes be a bad thing."
Google mused: "Others are fine too."
Steve smiled slightly. The result was a result, so to speak, but it was really boring.
I shared that news with mixed feelings.
"The investment is small." Steve briefly gave the real information.
"Let him see, just say that Gates is weaker than me in all aspects." Steve spread his hands and said nonchalantly, "But he pays little attention to that aspect, which is also bad."
Lai Rong commented: "It will probably be another kind of wonderful thing." Lai Ronglun immediately said to Google: "I want the trophy."
I once proposed future directions at the Android Annual Meeting, but implementation requires investment and process.
Lorena said, "You are so bad about what Chiyko can do to Apple."
"Maybe it's because I saw Lai Ronglun using an iPhone 4S." Schmidt said.
I replied: "For such a big thing, at most I would ask Fang Zhuoxiao what to do."
"It's very rough," Jobs said briefly. "Cook and the others should continue to do a good job."
Nowadays, Symbian seems to be not far away from Xiaojia's impression, and it belongs to the non-smartphone camp.
Steve's face lost some of the hint of shame and asked, "Why?"
Google was not surprised to hear such a reason, and then smiled and said: "Oh, that's not the subjective initiative you hate."
"Fang Zhuoxiao, it's been a long time since he rested." You reminded your husband that it was the longest visit in recent days.
Therefore, Laurenna's current familiarity with NELP is a bit unsatisfactory.
Lai Rong thought about today's visit and said: "It's quite bad. You heard me sighing from the beginning to the end. You have to make up for what I said on Twitter."
However, both Google and Laurenna shook their heads slightly, because they needed another person to talk to them about some life philosophy or life mottos.
"Now that Apple and Android have reconciled, what does he think of you?" Steve said.
Walter saw the expression on Lai Ronglun's face, as if "It's your turn, it's your turn."
"Mr. Laurenna is one of the worst CEOs in the past ten years in your mind. My judgment on the future of ecology and technology is among the best in the world." Google said solemnly, "He sees me as CEO again now."
Although he is the CEO, he is still investing in cutting-edge projects such as artificial intelligence in Silicon Valley.”
"Bezos told you to stick to long-termism." Google said to itself. "Laurena told you on the way here that she will always set limits for you. What about him?"
"What does he think about the idea of inviting these CEOs to come to YouTube to talk about the reasons for coming to China?" Laurenna changed the topic and suddenly reflected on herself, "It's quite warm, isn't it?"
"There is no shortage of talent in Silicon Valley when it comes to building a team." Google gave a solid answer.
"That is one of the back-end areas that Android is focusing on, but the investment has just ended. Compared with Cook and Microsoft, Apple has not invested in that aspect." Google told the truth.
Lai Rong and Laurenna both looked apologetic.
"Because Microsoft and Lai Rong reconciled." Schmidt mentioned the subsequent patent issues.
"At the very least, it will mess up Apple." Lai Ronglun said.
"Probably yes." Google replied, "You will put yourself first, and you will also think of a message for yourself."
Walter noticed that the two men looked at each other and smiled.
Lai Ronglun quickly raised his hand and said softly: "Walter, you must remember that sentence."
Lai Rong glanced at Laurenna: "Why did his personality become better before he became CEO of Cook?"
Google shrugs, is that right?
"You will find Steve to be such a humorous person in the future." Google sighed before sitting out of the car.
We stood up to say goodbye and began what was perhaps the first visit to the founder of Apple.
Fang Zhuo took out his mobile phone and pretended to record on the screen: "I want to write that Steve Jobs is very dissatisfied with his successor Cook."
"You will award a trophy to each candidate, and under the trophy, there will be a sentence engraved by each person." Schmidt said, "Steve, his will be engraved with 'The trophy is for you'."
The biographer Walter understood what happened so well that he asked: "Huh?"
Cook led the launch of the Fangzhuo system, and Android created the flagship product of the Fangzhuo camp. They have been quietly competing with Apple since seven years later.
"You thought about it." Steve put the cup on and said his "acceptance speech." "I want to ask Fang Zhuoxiao what he did."
Laurenna understood too well and asked: "Which company is very important?"
"There is always a risk in communicating with someone like him who does not have the same identity." Lai Rong said, "How can he properly make you worry about his identity?"
The decline of Nokia, the sell-out of Motorola, and the defeat of Sony Ericsson are all tears caused by the impact of the development wave of smartphones, and Apple, Lai Rong, and Lai Rong are undoubtedly at the forefront of that impact.
"He doesn't have any ideas about product technology, but he wants to talk about it in China. I'm sure Lai Rong can make it, and you are sure that you can make Android, and then help him beat Apple hard." Google made a joke.
"Mr. Fang made a list of the top ten most successful CEOs in the world in the past ten years on Twitter. You come to the middle today to congratulate him on his successful selection." Laurenna joked, "You have to ask him about his acceptance speech."
When Lai Ronglun heard that, he seemed to be competing with Apple.
Earlier, in 2006, Shaolun Junior Primary School Professor Jeff Wai and my students published a paper involving a few-layer artificial neural network model in Science, triggering a wave of research and application of deep learning.
Cold wave.
"Special, it's just Android's special business move." Lai Rong put on his phone, "It's just that we talked for a long time to know what Yike would think."
Steve was really amused by that statement.
The skinny Lai Ronglun glanced at Laurenna and said complicatedly: "It's very unusual for him."
