Mr Liu is not stupid, does jobs really value China?

"Apple is missing out on the huge opportunities in the Chinese market," Mr Liu said recently, saying that Mr Liu's rationale was "because Steve Jobs had a bad temper and didn't care about the Chinese market." If Apple spends as much energy on the Chinese market as we do, we will be in trouble. , Silicon Alley Insider author Dan Frommer, an American science and technology blogger, wrote in response to Liu: "It is foolish for jobs not to value China, but does apple attach importance to the Chinese market?" Is Liu really stupid?

First Dan certainly did not understand Liu's total true z meaning, Liu Total words is Apple if like Lenovo in the Chinese market energy, Lenovo will face trouble, Liu certainly will not think Apple does not value the Chinese market, meaning that Apple can not like Lenovo for Chinese consumers to concentrate on custom products, It is not possible to position Chinese consumers as the core of product development.

Apple's iphone sales in Greater China rose 9 times-fold year-on-year, and just opened a second store in Shanghai over the weekend, and it was said that 2011 years ago the stores would reach 25, could it be that the company is focused on the Chinese market? Really pay attention to the Chinese market, the IPhone 4 should be synchronized in China, even if not tied to Chinese operators, Apple can also release a bare metal in the mainland, really pay attention to the Chinese market Apple will not until 2011 only 25 stores, compared to Lenovo more than 5,000 stores, The extent to which Apple and Lenovo have focused on the Chinese market is evident.

It may be too much to say that Apple does not value the Chinese market because Apple cannot afford to give up the purchasing power of 1.3 billion of Chinese people, which should not be Mr Liu's wish, but it is not wrong for Apple to use the Chinese market as a profitable tool. The blind cult of Apple in some Chinese media and consumers has also fuelled Apple's earnings in the Chinese market, but the current sales of Apple in the mainland have little to do with Apple's focus on the apple market, At least, as far as I know, more than half of the iphone users have gone beyond the iphone itself, and these people use the iphone just to make phone calls and text messages, and to really use the iphone's online apps, not only do Chinese handset makers fail, including Nokia, Moto, the world's leading international manufacturers are also very difficult to escape, but this does not mean that Lenovo has been completely lost and opportunities, as Mr Liu said, because Apple can not be like Lenovo in the Chinese market to spend energy, so Apple also gave Lenovo the opportunity to rise to the mobile internet.

Although the market to Lenovo's Lephone challenges the iphone many questions, because the old Yao get Lephone earlier, early version of the Lephone also do have many defects, but not long ago the old Yao should be associated with the lephone of the final version of the upgrade, upgraded version has tended to perfect, At least the new version of Lephone has been fully equipped with the iphone's competitive credentials and strength.

Apple attaches great importance to the Chinese market, but does not bundle some common applications for Chinese consumers, to use these applications, consumers need to spend money to buy Apple's App Store, and Lenovo's listing in Lephone has been bundled with stocks, maps, E-book reading, online video, SNS, such as more than 50 of the application, because the Chinese consumers pay attention to the Internet, and even specially developed an easy-to-use 3G Internet switch, it should be said that Lenovo in the Lephone design borrowed from the "Days of the Qin" computer to achieve a breakthrough in many ideas, It is also these localized ideas that have laid Lenovo's breakthrough in the Chinese computer era of foreign brands unified, why more than half of consumers use only telephone and SMS functions, partly because of the unexpected use of Apple's App Store, and Lenovo solves the problem only by bundling.

Apple attaches importance to the Chinese market, currently has only 2 stores, even if by 2011 only 25, the new 800 sales point, compared with more than 5,000 stores are almost negligible, Lenovo has now infiltrated all county cities, so Lenovo and China Unicom Cooperation, Lephone can not only buy in China Unicom's business hall, but also in Lenovo layout of the national stores, and the purchase of the iphone can only be through the single channel Unicom business Hall.

Apple attaches importance to the Chinese market, but not specifically for the Chinese market independent characteristics of the application store, although the hundreds of thousands of kinds of iphone applications enough to allow consumers to fully choose, but also to bring endless customers, Lenovo's App Store, although the total amount is insufficient, the use of bundling and store combination but better adapt to the needs of Chinese consumers.

In fact, even if Mr Liu really thinks Apple does not value the Chinese market, it is understandable that the 3G era of smartphone video applications has become one of the core applications, Apple's total rejection of Flash is doomed to the iphone users can not get the best experience in China, Because almost all of China's Internet video applications are based on flash technology, although the ipad is very good, but also because the ipad, old Yao began to watch more online video, but the major sites on the support of the total amount of online video on the poor, and how to let many consumers feel satisfied, jobs really value the Chinese market, Should the iphone support Flash to give Chinese consumers the best 3G experience, using the iphone only to make phone calls and text messages really keep the iphone occupied in the Chinese market?

Objectively speaking, there is a gap between Lenovo Lephone and Apple's iphone, but the advent of the Internet, especially the 3G era, gives Lenovo the best market opportunity, and Mr Liu is right, and Apple's lack of attention to the Chinese market also gives Lenovo a chance to catch up. Lenovo has a world-class ID and structural design level, Lenovo in the design of Lephone and U1 tablet computer has proved that, these years Lenovo Institute in the software input also proved that Lenovo over the years in the core technology development has been a certain accumulation, Although the overall research and development strength and Apple still have a gap, with Lenovo's localization advantages, I believe that in the next few years Lenovo to give Apple a certain pressure even in the total sales of Apple beyond is not impossible, really so these opportunities are indeed Apple's "do not pay attention to China" caused, Liu is wrong?
