235 Apple's Joy Over Worry

Microsoft's selection of coaches took so long this time, so it was naturally a helpless move.∽↗∽↗,

In fact, the first candidate is not Stephen Elop, such as the current president of Oracle, and one of the vice presidents of General Motors is ranked first. But everyone knows that Microsoft's selection of coaches is going to put out the fire this time. It is a great hero in Microsoft's history. If you can't save it, you will probably not be able to do it for a long time and you will have to pat your butt and get out of here. This naturally makes these executives who have already proved themselves in other companies consider more.

To be honest, everyone sees Microsoft's situation at this time. Now the first priority is to rebuild consumers' confidence in in10, but this confidence is so easy to rebuild? Especially in the current panic of the people at Microsoft Research Institute, it is even more difficult to achieve something. So Stephen Elop is really brave enough to accept this position.

After a series of programmatic fiascos, the board of directors is coming to an end, and all directors have unanimously passed the resolution of Stephen Elop to become the fourth-generation head of Microsoft.

Microsoft Chairman John Thompson also began his final summary: "I am very happy that we have reappointed the new helm today. We also believe that Microsoft will follow the leadership of Mr. Elop to the right path. Congratulations, Stephen, we also look forward to your wonderful inaugural speech."

Thompson's summary is very short, and the chairman of Microsoft is not having a good time at this time, and criticism from the outside world is also endless. For example, many people are very dissatisfied because the Microsoft CEO selection work he is responsible for takes too long and reveals too much information on potential candidates.

He also has trouble saying this. Is Microsoft's CEO easy to choose now? If you choose it, others will have to come. As for revealing the information about the potential candidates for CEO, it is not his willingness. In this case, he always has a way to test other people's ideas. In short, now that everything has been settled, he breathes a sigh of relief.

Of course, as for whether Stephen Elop can really lead Microsoft to revitalize its glory to solve the current in10 crisis, he is not sure, but at least he is under such pressure now, right?

...

Tim Cook can be described as pain and happiness recently.

The decision to temporarily abandon iOS and sign the Crown smartphone system made the Apple president push the top five months ago, and this decision naturally caused countless controversy. Especially in the early stage of the contract exposure, countless people began to emerge on the Internet in the name of Apple fans, claiming that Tim Cook's decision was ridiculous and ridiculous for Apple. It was also a regression in the history of innovation.

Some critics even commented that the newly produced Apple phones are equipped with the Crown Prince Intelligent System of China to dig their own graves. The reason given is very simple. iOS is part of Apple. Now, Tim Cook has given up this classic Apple operating system in order to cater to the Chinese. This is equivalent to giving up the base camp for the entire European and American market for the Chinese market. Isn’t this self-conscious grave doing what is it?

However, from Apple's fall new product launch conference to now, all the data has been severely drawn, and the so-called Apple fans and critics who have jumped out to question Tim Cook's decision.

Apple's own data is not needed. Reports issued by the most authoritative market research institutions are enough to illustrate the problem. In the 2015 Q4 fiscal quarter, the iPhone equipped with the Crown smartphone system had an overall shipment volume of 58 million units, nearly 17 million units more than the 41 million units in the third fiscal quarter, and 11 million units more than the 47 million units in the 2014 Q4 fiscal quarter. Not only that, this figure also set another record for Apple's single-financial quarter sales in its history.

Even without looking at these sales data, downloading feedback from the backend app store over the past five months is enough to prove how wise Tim Cook's decision was.

In fact, the software "College Programming for All" is indeed more popular in Europe and the United States than in Asia. With only one million applications on the Crown System Application Exchange Platform in China, the application exchange platform of the Crown System Application Exchange Platform in the European and American markets has been nearly three million, and the download volume of various applications is even more than tens of millions every day.

According to Apple's backend data, people now log in to Apple to search for genuine music albums and videos, as well as some classic large-scale games, while the classic mini games on their own platform are no longer caring about it...

Take the game "Plant vs. Zombies" that was once popular all over the world as an example. There are more than a hundred creative game applications similar to the Prince's system application communication platform. Various plant shapes completely subvert the previous style, and the random styles of various weapon combinations are also completely out of the original model.

For example, a "plant zombie" with more than tens of millions of downloads, planted a dandelion on the roof in the roof, and then kept fanning, and the seeds immediately flew all over the sky to encourage other plants. The visual feeling of flying all over the sky is much cooler than the original version.

The "plants save the world" with a brain-opening idea. In the game, the earth has been occupied by zombies. Then a scientist gave the plants command, so a large number of plants fought at the critical moment when humans were about to perish. They actively started a war against zombies...

The facts seem to show that these Westerners are more idle and boring than Orientals. Blizzard's World of Warcraft has been modified into countless mini versions. Fortunately, the material library provided by "The People Come to Program" avoids all kinds of cartoon images that will cause infringement disputes. What's more exaggerated is that this material library does not require them to spend too much energy to manage, because there are countless boring people around the world adding original content to this material library every day.

In short, the sales of Apple products hit a new high, making more money. It slapped critics in the face, but Tim Cook was still not happy.

In fact, Tim Cook also agrees with one view of those critics, that is, if you completely abandon the iOS system, it will give up your lifeline. For example, Apple's mobile phones are forced to carry five Google applications when it appears. This makes Tim Cook quite helpless.

So Apple is still investing most of its profits in the subsequent research and development of the iOS system, hoping to get the initiative back. However, the huge amount of funds has been spent, and the progress is still slow, and there is no progress. It still bothers all Apple engineers to integrate the prince system into the iOS system in a short period of time.

This is just one of the reasons why Tim Cook is unhappy, and what makes him even more depressed is the pressure from Samsung and other original Android brands. Unsurprisingly, these manufacturers have now restarted their competitive layout for the high-end mobile phone market.

Previously, due to the differences between the system and the ecological environment, these manufacturers could not compete with Apple on high-end models, but now it is different. Everyone’s platforms are the same, and the process of making mobile phones is just that. Why do you have to hand over the most profitable areas? (To be continued.)
