Large inventory of third-party application victims: Who hurt Apple?

Because Apple's products are always more perfect than people think, so that you have no reason to continue to use a third-party application.

Siri-various comments and life services websites

As an easy-to-use function entry, Siri is now more powerful. Supports various Chinese languages and third-party applications. However, what applications and services are supported by default, and other applications will be affected. For example, in terms of comments, he can designate public comments as partners in China, so reputation and bucket will be left out. Similarly, if Ctrip is selected for a ticket, it will affect where to go.

From the demonstration, we can see that Siri and third-party cooperation are basically exclusive, because listing multiple results at the same time may affect the user experience due to too many choices. However, we can see that the videos of Americans playing Siri do not know how many Chinese players are drooling. we can imagine that Siri will be a huge entrance, and the snatch of this entrance may evolve into a new round of evolutionary war.

Integration of Facebook, Twitter and domestic social networking websites-third-party clients

The most popular social networking websites in the two worlds already have their own official clients, but there is always room for third parties, because there is only one official client. However, ubiquitous system-level embedding will soon make users fall in love with this seamless experience, and the significance of client existence will become increasingly thin. These two companies are not accessible in China, but are integrated with Weibo? This effect is almost obvious. The third-party Weibo client will become the main feature of niche features such as photo filters, input boards, and skin replacements, and the living space will be further compressed.

Call Management-various mobile guard

When Apple removed 360 applications from the shelf, we could roughly guess what Apple was going to do. Indeed, the call-response and nighttime sleep modes are much smoother than those installed after jailbreak. Moreover, conflict may occur when both native and third-party phone call management is used. Therefore, the significance of xx guardian in China may be the place where incoming calls are sent. It does not rule out the possibility that Apple will specifically add this function to the Chinese market.

Facetime supports mobile network-Skype, etc.

Imessage makes a cold sweat, and facetime is more likely to cut off skype's path. When the function is similar, different options may be the number of users and the circle of friends. Where your friends are, you can use them. It was a living event, but Skype had no share in China, and now it is even more unpredictable.

Offline webpage reading-similar applications such as Read it later and Readibility

I don't need to explain this? The functions are the same and there is no difference between them.

Sharing photo streams-social networking apps such as online storage and Path

The target user group of Path is not as public as Weibo, or as old people who have not seen each other for many years as sns, but a small circle of acquaintances. In practical applications, small and medium-sized circles mainly involve sign-in, image transfer, and write status. Now, the most important photo sharing is perfectly solved through iCloud. You can share it with a certain number of friends, and skip the process of re-taking and selecting photos. Fortunately, there are not many iCloud users in China. The same is true for online storage.

Passport holder-mobile phone membership card, coupon applications; Life reminder software; ticket booking Software

There is an application named "mka" That does what the passport holder does. It becomes a direct tragedy. Other coupons, as long as the seller chooses to cooperate with Apple, can be included, depending on how Apple's BD expansion in the Chinese market. As for the change of real-time flight information, the flight manager can also act as a boarding pass. At this moment, the flight manager cannot help but burst into tears.

There is a street to cry. Through the take-over of the coupon function, LBS applications such as the street have completely lost the commercial value of sign-in. When it comes to the store, it will automatically prompt you, or you don't have to install it, which is too big. You must be awesome!

Map-Google Maps, third-party maps, and navigation applications

If iOS 6 maps support offline storage, Baidu maps will be completely lost outside mainland China. Google was anxious to launch a large-scale product just a few days before Apple's press conference to minimize the adverse effects of default map changes.

Apple's traffic information is facing the problem of insufficient data volume. One clever way to think of this is to let users contribute data. The road conditions you see come from other users who use the map with you at the same time. This method makes it embarrassing for the GPS dog who thinks of this idea. They may only need to share traffic conditions with Weibo, friends, and private messages to develop stronger social attributes.

 

In China, the biggest problem facing these maps is that they are not properly navigated. Therefore, if Apple can deal with related managers, it can finally eliminate third-party maps and navigation. Who can guarantee that the leaders themselves or their children are not using the Apple system? This may be the biggest killer.

Apple, both desktop and mobile operating systems, has a lot of things to do on its own, taking full advantage of the tradition of all applications. Microsoft chose its own Windows with only the most basic functions, most others rely on third-party software opening policies. The formation of such a pattern is partly due to Microsoft's low Mac share, so it does not need to be accused of monopoly like Microsoft's bundling IE. But now, Apple is no longer a little shrimp in the operating system field. In the face of the new situation, do you have to consider taking similar restrictions on Apple as Microsoft did in the past, to provide a living space for third-party developers?
