Crossover: 2014

Chapter 220 The aftermath of the down-frequency gate incident
In this case, Lin Hui felt that listening to other people's views properly would enable Lin Hui to make a better judgment.

Therefore, Lin Hui doesn't mind if someone speaks freely in front of him.

Of course, what Lin Hui doesn't mind is that people with technical background speak freely in front of him.

Lin Hui has little patience for those who take the trouble to send private messages asking Lin Hui to help him read the code on Weibo/blog, twitter and various forums.

When Elizabeth Nishi confides, Lin Hui easily enters the role of listener.

From the words of Elizabeth Nice.

Lin Hui received a slightly unexpected piece of news.

After the extreme Jobs passed away in this time and space, the "inventory buster" took the helm of Apple, although it was originally peaceful.

However, as the "stock buster" implemented a series of strategies on products, it gradually aroused internal dissatisfaction.

In this time and space, there are actually two voices within Apple:
One side, mainly the members of the board of directors, believes that Cook has lived up to Jobs' expectations and has increased the company's profits year by year.

On the other hand, some of the backbone technicians who joined Apple during the era of severance believe that cook deviates from the spirit of jobs and completely abandons the purity of technology.

For the former, Elizabeth Nishi called it the business maximization school, while the latter claimed to be the pure technology school.

Judging from Elizabeth Nishi's dissatisfaction with Cook, she undoubtedly belongs to the technical purists.

The dispute between these two factions has even led to estrangement within Apple to a certain extent.

Lin Hui really didn't understand what there was to argue about.

These two routes are not contradictory.

If the technology is pure, it may not be impossible to complete the business.

But think about things like the fact that the Apple mobile terminal in the previous life couldn't live with the C port and various small-capacity batteries.

It is not difficult to understand why there is such a dispute between business elites and technical pure factions.

There is no lower limit for capital/capital greed.

Having said that, Lin Hui remembered that although there were two different voices inside Pinghuo in his previous life.

But it seems to be just a private discord.

It seems that there has never been such a clear disagreement.

Why is there such a gap in this time and space?

Lin Hui euphemistically expressed his doubts about the dispute between the two routes within Apple.

According to Elizabeth Nishi, this matter has something to do with Lin Hui again.

Because Lin Hui made that game not long ago, the down-frequency door incident broke out in advance.

As a result, the dispute between the two lines of Apple's internal business elites and technical purists has completely heated up.

Because before the 5s went online, Apple's internal technicians proposed to use 5G of application memory on the 2s, but was rejected by the executives.

As a result, the biggest culprit of the frequency-reduction incident now is because of the too stingy RAM configuration on the previous models.

This frequency reduction incident brought a very high loss and damage to Apple's reputation.

(It is not an exaggeration, the impact of the down-frequency gate incident was very large.

Apple has paid a huge price globally)
And this tragedy could have been avoided.

In this case, the technician who made the suggestion is undoubtedly outraged.

Therefore, the direct and secret struggle between the two factions seems to have a tendency to shift to the bright side.

Lin Hui: (⊙﹏⊙)...

After hearing what Elizabeth Nishi said, Lin Hui was also very helpless.

This is a proper person sitting at home, and the pot comes from the sky.

Lin Hui had never expected this incident before.

From the words of Elizabeth Nice.

Lin Hui felt that Elizabeth Nishi's dissatisfaction with Cook should be true.

But as to whether the internal disagreement within Apple is that serious, Lin Hui feels that it is hard to say.

Like a talking story.

Xiao Ma crossed the river and asked different people.

The old cow said the water was shallow, but the squirrel said the water was deep, and his companion drowned.

The same thing has different standards in the eyes of different people.

It is better to inquire about objective judgments from multiple sources.

Maybe I can ask Huang Jing for more information later.

If there is really such a big gap within Apple.

It may not be a good thing either.

If Lin Hui is strong enough.

Maybe use this opportunity to suck some talent out of it.

But now, Lin Hui is not very attractive to Apple's internal talents, whether in terms of funds or personal charm.

If there is a crack in Apple, then these pure technical personnel may flow to technology giants such as Google.

And Lin Hui chose the route of rising.

Whether it is the artificial intelligence that is about to start or the Fuchsia OS that is going to get involved in the long run, Lin Hui and Google are destined to be enemies rather than friends.

A possibly stronger opponent is not what Lin Hui wants to see.

In short, Lin Hui felt that it would be better to be an apple with no cracks when it was fledgling.

Of course, in the long run, a split apple is better.

Having said that, it's a pity that many things are not entirely based on Lin Hui's will.

I can only take one step at a time.

Speaking of which, a game that Lin Hui handled so easily would have so many chain reactions when the time-space butterfly flapped its wings frantically.

This incident also reminded Lin Hui that he must speed up the planning of a dedicated think tank team.

This think tank team must have a certain ability to see the development of the situation in a short period of time.

It can provide forest ash with sufficient and accurate analysis reports from multiple angles such as economy and culture.

In this way, Lin Hui can avoid a series of impacts that may be caused by information failure.

After complaining for a while, Elizabeth Nishi gave Lin Hui a detailed introduction to the new features of the iOS8 version.

Because the iOS8beta version has already appeared.

Therefore, when it comes to the introduction of some features of iOS8, Elizabeth Nishi is not as restrained as when introducing the hardware.

In fact, Lin Hui has long been aware of the changes in iOS8.

It is nothing more than supporting third-party input methods, improving the multitasking interface, innovating the notification center, and so on.

The only thing worth mentioning may be the two functions of handoff and homekit.

The former involves multi-device collaboration, and the latter involves smart home.

If we say when did Apple officially enter the ecological construction on a large scale.

That is undoubtedly this generation of Apple.

Those who win the ecology win the world is not just talk.

Many people who use Apple devices are not necessarily fanatics, they are just bound by the ecology.

This incident also reminded Lin Hui to hurry up if he wanted to do something against Apple.

If you delay it for a year or two before doing it.

Even if the ecological level built on Fuchsia OS or other systems is better than Apple's ecological level.

Users may not buy it, which involves some resistance beyond technology.

The resistance beyond these technologies is the first to push sunk costs.

Sunk costs are expenses that have occurred in the past but are not relevant to the current decision.

When people decide whether to do something, they not only look at whether it is good for them, but also whether they have invested in it in the past.

These irrecoverable expenditures such as time, money, energy, etc. are called "sunk costs".

When users spend too much money and time to build Apple's so-called ecosystem.

These things will actually trap users.
