As the only one in the smartphone industry, the iPhone is also the benchmark for the development of the entire smartphone industry. Wei Qingfan is deeply impressed by each generation of its products, so naturally he will not stay up late to watch the press conference.
However, after getting up the next morning, he still browsed the relevant news.
“Thinner, stronger and richer, Apple iPhone 5 is officially released”
“iPhone5 – Transformation or Destruction?”
“Don’t be so disappointed with iPhone5”
"Summary of iPhone 5 launch highlights"
“iPhone5 seems ordinary, but there is a mystery behind it”
"Smaller size and faster transmission, iPhone5 uses a new interface"
…
In the original history, the iPhone was already very popular on the Chinese Internet at this time. In this time and space, due to the promotion of Wei Qingfan, the mobile Internet trend swept earlier, and due to the promotion of the Lingxi official account, now self-media has also flourished
stand up.
After the release of the iPhone 5, there were generally voices of disappointment on the Internet, feeling that Apple had lost its creativity after the death of Steve Jobs.
In fact, this is more because everyone’s expectations are too high. It is difficult for iPhone5 to bring so many surprises to everyone at once, and it is impossible for Cook to release so many surprises at once. Otherwise, why will iPhone 5S be upgraded next year?
The self-media generally still adopts a "praising" attitude, which is normal. Even ten years later, the iPhone has been surpassed by Android manufacturers in many aspects. More than 90% of bloggers in the digital circle use Apple products.
Because the target users of Apple products include people who call what they do "productivity", even if they are just using it to write manuscripts.
In this era, the iPhone is truly ahead of the times. The iPhone shocked the world when it first came out. iPhone4 and iPhone4S have brought innovation beyond expectations twice in a row. From the public to media workers, they have long been accustomed to the pursuit of iPhone.
It is precisely because of this that I feel disappointed and disappointed with the "mediocrity" of iPhone5, but admiring and admiring it has already become a habit.
The innovations brought by iPhone include: new appearance, new Lightning interface...that's basically it.
In addition, there is ios6 which is the pinnacle of skeuomorphism.
Basically gone.
But this does not affect the terrifying influence and popularity of the iPhone 5 after its release, and it will inevitably be popular after it is launched.
"Have you seen that iPhone5?"
While having breakfast, Jiang Qinghuai asked in a low voice with excitement, "I just took a look, it looks pretty good, and like our wine 2, it has a three-section back, and the upper and lower back are also made of glass..."
To be more precise, it should be the iPhone 5 that Jiu 2 imitates, because this was the idea originally proposed by Wei Qingfan and later adopted by Huang Yuanyuan’s design team.
Wei Qingfan thought about using a one-piece metal body directly, but the process was a bit difficult, the yield rate was low, and the cost was too high. He had to wait for the technology to mature further.
Moreover, the one-piece metal body also has a drawback, which is the signal problem. In order to solve this problem, the "white band" of iPhone6 made it the ugliest iPhone in history. Meizu later "solved" this problem, that is, by converting the signal band.
It was bent and hidden next to the frame. The subsequent iPhone 7 "adopted" this solution.
But still ugly.
After that, starting with the iPhone 8, Apple returned to the metal middle frame and front and rear glass solutions of the iPhone 4 era, leading the entire mobile phone industry to adopt a front and rear glass solution.
This solves the problem of mobile phone signals (except for iPhone), and wireless charging can become popular.
Wei Qingfan plans to skip the one-piece metal body and directly use a glass back cover so that wireless charging can be used earlier. Therefore, after it is no longer used this year, he will not pay much attention to this technology.
"I've already guessed that nothing will change this year."
Wei Qingfan curled his lips, "Apple has changed the appearance for you, do you still hope for any functional innovation? Don't be so greedy."
"I don't need it."
Jiang Qinghuai curled his lips, "Miaomiao actually didn't make any movement. I guess she hasn't noticed yet, otherwise she would definitely start shouting again."
"I guess."
Li Miaoyu still likes Apple products very much. Today, she still uses iMac, iPad, and iPhone 4S, but iPhone 4S is a backup machine.
After Birdsong Stream, she no longer uses her iPhone 4S much, and more often uses it to cheer up Wei Qingfan.
Jiang Qinghuai carefully took a bite of the pan-fried bun, ate it, then said "um", took out the same Jindian wine 2 as Wei Qingfan, and posted a message in the group with a "da da da da" sound: "@李伟宇
iPhone5 is released, Miaomiao, have you seen it?”
Li Miaoyu: "Ah? Isn't it tonight?"
Wei Qinghuan: "It was released early in the morning. I saw it just after dinner."
Li Wanyun: "Do you eat so early?"
Wei Qingchan: "Don't listen to her nonsense, she just got up."
Wei Qinghuan: "No, don't slander me."
Li Miaoyu: "Ah?"
Li Miaoyu: "I always thought that tonight was over. I didn't have time to write a summary immediately. I still have to attract fans."
Jiang Qinghuai: "With your intelligence, you should say goodbye to your fans for the time being."
Li Miaoyu: "What do you know? The lower the IQ, the higher the appearance."
Li Wanyun: "No wonder you were admitted to Peking University."
Wei Qinghuan: "Hahahaha"
Li Miaoyu: "I am a person who can have both. You are both jealous of my good looks."
Li Wanyi: "Have you set off?"
Wei Qingfan: "Not yet, I'm having breakfast and waiting to go to the airport."
Li Miaoyu: "Where is the gift you gave me?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Jiang Qinghuai: "I know, I know."
Li Miaoyu: "What is it?"
Jiang Qinghuai: "I won't tell you."
Li Miaoyu: "Qingqing~"
Li Miaoyu: "Be good and tell your sister that she will buy you sweets when you get back."
Wei Qinghuan: "You are so young, you still have the nerve to call yourself sister."
Wei Qinghan: "Brother, this phone is so easy to use. The battery is so durable. It looks better than the previous generation and the camera is also better."
He Yanxi: "Yeah! I testify that the system is more beautiful."
Li Miaoyu: "I don't even have it yet."
Jiang Qinghuai: "When you two send messages in the group, you also have to appear together?"
Li Wanyun: "Brother-in-law, you are so awesome. Didn't you just say last year that the iPhone screen would be enlarged in two years at the latest? It has only been one year since the iPhone screen has become larger."
Li Miaoyu: "Hey, you remember it so clearly!"
Jiang Qinghuai: "Of course my brother-in-law is great."
Wei Qingfan: "That's right!"
He had almost forgotten about this matter. When he realized it, of course he had to show off, opened Weibo decisively, edited a Weibo post and sent it:
“Last year at the wine launch conference, I said that Apple would increase the size of the iPhone screen in one year at the earliest and two years at the latest. I just saw the news about the iPhone 5, and the screen will be increased from 3.5 inches to 4 inches.
"This is just the beginning. The appearance of the next-generation iPhone 5S will not change, but when the iPhone 6 is released in 2014 and the model is re-opened, Apple will inevitably make a large-screen mobile phone, such as 5.5 inches... This is a market choice and goes against the market. Even Apple will
will be eliminated.
"Hahaha, it seems that I will not lose the bet. By the way, I would like to recommend our ancient poetry will enter the wine. It has a 5.3-inch large screen. Many friends around me thought it was too big at first. After using it for a while, they all told me
"It's still fun to use the big screen", hahahaha.
"If you really can't use such a large screen, we have other products to choose from, such as the 4.7-inch Birdsong Stream and so on."
After he posted it, he ate two buns, refreshed it, and immediately saw a lot of comments.
"Ah ah ah kiss my husband"
"Are you sick?"
"Sure enough, once Steve Jobs left, the iPhone would have no soul."
"Hahaha, holding gin in hand, the big screen is really cool"
"It's really cool. Only Android can make such an unreasonable large screen of 5.5 inches. It's so ugly. Apple will never make a phone larger than 5 inches. Otherwise, I will take off my head and play it as a ball for you."
"iPhone5 has no progress at all, whoever buys it is a fool"
"Mr. Wei is indeed a great prophet, but will Apple really launch a 5.5-inch large screen?"
"What is the name of this year's new model? Or is it named after another poem?"
"Samsung note 2 is already 5.5 inches. Will the screen of Samsung Note 2 also be enlarged?"
"It's too expensive. The price of Samsung Note has been reduced by thousands. The price of wine is only reduced by three to four hundred. Can it be cheaper?"
"I'm here to fool you again. The ancient poetry phone is okay, but the ancient poetry phone is all IQ tax."
"Mr. Wei, I'm really sorry. I'm in an emergency. Can you borrow some money? I'll definitely pay it back after a while."
“The iPhone 5 looks so exquisite, can it be compared to the iPhone 2?”
"Mr. Wei is getting married? Why is there no news at all?"
…
"Will Apple really release a 5.5-inch large-screen mobile phone?"
Jiang Qinghuai saw him posting on Weibo, so he ran over to take a look, and then asked with some disbelief, "The iPhone has become so big..."
She frowned and thought for a moment, unable to picture what such a big iPhone would look like. After all, the iPhones in her impression were still small and exquisite, unlike Jiang Jinjiu, who had a large screen when they first came out.
Wei Qingfan smiled and said: "It doesn't depend on whether the iPhone wants to do it, it depends on whether the consumer wants it."
"But I still think 5.5 inches is too big."
Jiang Qinghuai took his Pianjiu 2 and looked at it, then motioned for him to look at it, "Look, I have a hard time holding it, and I can't fit it in my pocket, so I can only put it in my bag..."
Wei Qingfan smiled and said: "Is that easy to use?"
"Um……"
Jiang Qinghuai thought about it seriously, and then said: "It's quite refreshing when I use it, but it's inconvenient to hold it at ordinary times."
“It’s enough that it feels good to use.”
After chatting for a while and having breakfast, Wei Qingfan and Jiang Qinghuai finished their follow-up work and headed to the airport with their entourage. In the afternoon, they arrived at the hotel arranged in Fuzhou.
After placing the items, the group went to contact the channel dealer and negotiated and signed the contract according to the predetermined plan. In the evening at the Commerce Bureau, Wei Qingfan unexpectedly met an old friend.
Previously, because of the construction of a shoe factory in Qingyun, he accompanied Li Wanyi to Chendai Town. Wang Jiao's brother Wang Chao introduced a friend named Ding Qude, who helped a lot at that time and also appeared at the banquet in the evening.
.
After the ancient poetry company became a fire, this guy was very proud of his ability to "know people" and often boasted about how good his relationship with Mr. Wei was, and he earned a lot of face and convenience for this.
His uncle was one of the channel partners in this cooperation, but he was not that important. However, because his nephew knew Mr. Wei, his voice became much louder during this period.
This time, in order to express his concern, Wei Qingfan personally came over to cooperate. Both his uncle and nephew came. However, Ding Qude did not appear in the previous process. This was because he had already found out Mr. Wei's character clearly, so as not to let Wei
Qingfan felt that he was not professional enough.
This guy didn't have much ability, but he had a good personality and left a good impression on Wei Qingfan. The small talk at the wine table gave him enough face.
After the dinner, Wei Qingfan refused any further entertainment activities and sneaked to the after-sales store here with Jiang Qinghuai.
Found nothing.
Because many employees of the company have heard about the big boss's "hobby", he often conducts "incognito private visits" when he is on business trips. I once met him in Beijing for maintenance work, but no one in the whole store recognized him. Later, it was said that it was because the service was good.
, and was praised at company meetings.
Therefore, the after-sales shop here has recently made preparations. When Wei Qingfan and Jiang Qinghuai sneaked over, they tried to pretend that they did not know Wei Qingfan. However, his acting skills were so poor that Wei Qingfan soon discovered that he knew what he could not tell.
