I can see the commodity price curve

Fruit mobile store.

Kurt was prowling around.

In order to prevent others from recognizing him, he wore a baseball cap and hung a scarf around his neck.

The weather is getting a bit cold now and many people are wearing scarves, so his outfit is not particularly strange.

Looking at the long line outside the store, Kurt was very satisfied.

This even reminded him of ten years ago.

At that time, Boss Joe was still around, and Apple phones were very popular and often hard to come by.

In order to successfully buy a mobile phone, people often have to queue up at the door the day before.

One row lasts all night.

The situation in Europe is better, and it is said that it sells even better in Asia.

Not to mention queuing for a whole night, it is common to queue for three days and three nights.

Even because Asia is so poor, the high prices are beyond the purchasing power of most people.

Some people even call fruit phones "kidney phones", meaning that if you want to buy this kind of phone, you need to sell your kidneys.

Although it sounds incredible, it also reflects the popularity of this type of mobile phone.

Unfortunately, with the passage of time and the passing of Boss Joe, the market for Apple phones slowly reached a bottleneck.

In particular, the rise of major Chinese mobile phone manufacturers, especially Youwei Mobile, has taken away a large market share for fruits.

Every time a new mobile phone is released, the scene of people queuing day and night is no longer seen.

There wasn't even a team in sight.

Fortunately, everything is back to normal now.

After a moment's silence, he walked over to a young man who was waiting in line and said, "Little brother, can I ask you a question?"

The man turned around in surprise and said, "Ask a question? Are you from the fruit official?"

Kurt shook his head: "You misunderstood, I am a reporter, not an official of the fruit."

The man suddenly understood: "So that's how it is. I understand now. You can ask anything you want."

Then he stood up straight and adjusted his collar.

When facing reporters, personal image is very important.

After all, few people are willing to cause a landslide.

"Can you tell me why you bought an iPhone?"

The man smiled and said, “It’s simple, I’m a fan of fruit phones.

You may not believe it, but I have been using Apple mobile phones since the first one came out.

At that time, that phone was just okay. If you really compare it, it is still a bit inferior to Nokia's flagship.

But I like it very much.

Later, Apple released the iPhone 4, which was an extremely powerful phone.

I used it for six years, and if it hadn’t been too slow, I wouldn’t have bought a new one…”

Kurt was very pleased to hear the other party talking endlessly about the glorious ambassador of fruit.

Unexpectedly, the other party changed the subject: “But since Boss Joe passed away, innovation has been getting worse and worse.

Apart from making the screen bigger and upgrading various components, there is nothing else that is particularly eye-catching.

Including the full-screen display that is now widely used, it was also pioneered by Xiaomi.

This is something that needs to be reflected upon.”

"Really?" Kurt's voice subconsciously became much lower.

After Boss Joe passed away, Fruit Mobile has been taken over by itself.

So the other party's words are equivalent to slapping oneself in the face.

"Did you change your phone in the meantime?"

The man shook his head: "No, I've always used fruit. You've never changed."

"Well, can you explain why?

After all, you also said that Apple has gradually been overtaken by other mobile phone manufacturers in terms of innovation. "

The man laughed and said, "Apple phones have indeed been surpassed in many aspects, such as the typical poor signal.

But if you think about it carefully, this reversal is actually of no use to fruits.

The signal check is due to patent issues, and Apple is already trying hard to make changes to this.

Although it is still not satisfactory, the signal is very strong in all developed areas of the world.

Those who use Apple phones are all elites and rarely go to places without signal.

Yes, the signal of Youwei mobile phone is indeed better, but the improvement is very limited and can be ignored.

As for other aspects, such as full screen.

I have to admit that the idea of ​​full screen is great.

But not long after, Apple also released the same full-screen phone.

Whether it is design or other aspects, it is remarkable.

Although everyone was pursuing full-screen displays in the past, the definition of full-screen displays was very vague.

It was not until Apple took action that the full screen was defined as the notch screen.

That’s the real power of fruit.

If he doesn't take action, the others are all miscellaneous brands.

Once he makes a move, any changes he makes are phenomenal and unquestionable.”

Kurt was a little embarrassed by his praise: "Apple's mobile phone is actually just average. Of course, other mobile phones can only be worse than it, not the worst."

Ok!

There is indeed a difference between foreigners and Chinese people. At least when it comes to lack of humility, foreigners are always number one.

The man was instantly amused by Kurt’s words: “I quite agree with what you said.

In fact, the most widely criticized thing about Apple phones is that their configurations are not up to par.

After all, the lower the configuration, the lower the cost, and at the same time you can make more money.

But the problem is that this is not the shortcoming of Apple phones at all.

Through powerful system optimization functions, fruit phones can run any software very smoothly.

Yes, the configurations of Android phones are indeed very high, but so what?

When people use mobile phones, they pay attention to the operating experience rather than a series of internal parameters that just sound impressive.

Those Android phones should learn from Apple if they can!"

Behind the man was a young girl who was listening attentively as the boy and Kurt chatted.

When it comes to the phone's configuration, the girl immediately nodded in agreement: "That's right.

The biggest drawback of Android phones is that they are too bulky.

It has this and that, and it requires a lot of accessories.

This is like Japanese cars which are famous for their fuel efficiency.

To travel the same 100 kilometers, other cars may need to burn 80 yuan of fuel.

But Japanese cars are different. They only need fifty or even forty dollars of gas, which saves half.

How did this car achieve this? It’s simple, by reducing weight!

A European or American car generally weighs about three tons.

Japanese cars, on the other hand, weigh less than two tons, and some even weigh only 1.5 tons.

With half the weight and some special streamlined design, it will definitely save fuel!

The same is true for fruit phones.

Its configuration is indeed a bit low, but through system optimization, fruit phones have achieved computing weight reduction just like Japanese cars.

And it’s even better than Japanese cars.

Although Japanese cars have achieved fuel efficiency by reducing weight, they have, to a certain extent, sacrificed the safety and stability of the car itself.

But Apple phones are different.

Good system optimization not only makes the phone more refreshing, but also reduces the workload of developers, which is really killing two birds with one stone.”

"This girl is right, Apple phones are really good."

“The reason many people criticize Apple phones is simply because they can’t afford them.

Believe it or not, as long as the price of Apple mobile phones drops, they will definitely be the first to stand up and say it is really good. "

After hearing what the woman said, others also began to express their opinions.

Everyone was getting happier and happier as they talked. As loyal Apple fans, they knew the performance of Apple phones very well, especially the many very practical little features, which made them unable to hide their excitement. Even Kurt, who was standing next to them, was very excited.

Who said that Apple phones in Europe are being beaten to a pulp by Youwei phones?
This is totally misleading information.

Apple phones have always been powerful, and those negative comments are definitely slander against the phones.

As he was talking, a voice suddenly said, "Fuck, no way, is it so awesome?"

The others were stunned and turned to look at the man:

"Brother, could you please not be so startled?

If you want to say that Apple phones are powerful, just say it directly.

We are all family, there is no need to seek attention.”

Unexpectedly, the man shook his head and said, "You misunderstood. I wasn't praising the iPhone, I was praising the Xiaomi iPhone."

"Rice phone? Aren't you queuing here to buy fruit? What does it have to do with the rice phone?"

“No, I was just watching a live broadcast where a blogger bought all the mobile phones released today and did reviews.

Xiaomi phones have made a very powerful optimization on the battery, I couldn’t help but shout it out.

I'm sorry! "

Someone immediately said disdainfully: "What? Battery optimization?
Could it be that the other party has increased the battery capacity to 10,000 mAh?
I have to admit that Chinese mobile phone manufacturers are really good at playing. They can do anything to increase battery life.”

When this was said, everyone else laughed.

The reason is simple. Apple phones have always been widely criticized for their poor battery life.

But anyone who has actually used an Apple phone knows that the battery life of an Apple phone is indeed a bit short.

But as long as you don’t use it heavily, such as playing games frequently, it should be fine to stick with it for a day.

The reason why the battery life is adjusted so low is not that Apple phones deliberately reduce manufacturing costs to make more money.

But mobile phone batteries take up a lot of space.

Although there is only a 500mAh difference between 3,500mAh and 4,000mAh, they are two completely different concepts in terms of thickness.

Moreover, the battery itself is very heavy, and once the capacity is increased, it will make the phone even heavier.

Apple phones are known for being light, and even in summer, you can hardly feel them in your pocket.

The biggest contributor is the low-capacity battery.

Many people at the scene have tried other mobile phones, but they are used to Apple phones and cannot accept the brick-like weight of other mobile phones.

Now that Xiaomi phones have increased their battery capacity, how bulky would it be to put this thing in your pocket?
Unexpectedly, the man who shouted just now shook his head: "You misunderstood, the battery capacity of the Xiaomi mobile phone has not increased..."

He told them all about Jack's evaluation, and they were all stunned.

"What did you say? The battery of a Xiaomi phone can last for two days?"

“Even if you turn the screen to the brightest setting, can it still be used for a whole day?”

"The key is that it doesn't heat up no matter how you use it, which makes it run very smoothly, just as good as fruit."

"..."

Seeing that everyone was a little bit unbelieving, the man immediately said: "This should be true. If you don't believe me, look over there."

Everyone looked in the direction of his finger and saw a long queue formed not far ahead.

This long queue is even longer than that for Apple phones.

Looking at the front of the line, it is the Rice mobile phone store.

This is a miracle in Africa.

You should know that Nokia was the mainstream in the African market at the beginning. After Nokia declined, fruit phones became popular for a while, but soon four-star phones competed with it.

But this time was very short, and soon Youwei Mobile Phone rose to prominence.

But no matter which brand dominates the European market, Xiaomi phones are almost the same as Xiaomi phones.

did not expect……

The man who was speaking suddenly left the team and turned to walk towards the Rice Mobile Phone Store.

The man behind him couldn't help but ask: "Brother, you don't want to queue?"

The other person shook his head and said, "I'll go to Xiaomi to see if their batteries are as good as the reviews say."

As soon as this person left, everyone else looked at each other in bewilderment.

People tend to follow the herd mentality. If one person leaves, some people will become panicked even if others do not leave.

Suddenly, one person took out his phone and asked, "Let me see how the other party rated it."

Although the man had made it very clear, it was just a paraphrase after all.

If you want to know the truth, you should see it for yourself.

"What the hell? Isn't this too powerful?"

The man looked at it for five minutes, and his eyes became wider and wider.

Then he turned off the screen and walked towards the Rice Mobile Phone Store without looking back.

As he walked, he said, "I'll go take a look too."

When this person is reading the review, other people are also reading it.

After this person turned and left, the rest of the people began to hesitate.

suddenly.

"I'll go take a look too."

"And I!"

"..."

In the blink of an eye, more than ten people in the queue left.

Kurt was stunned watching from the side. What was going on?
He quickly grabbed a person who was about to leave and said, "Brother, you don't want to buy a mobile phone?"

The other party said: "Of course I will buy it. Otherwise, am I crazy to run so far to queue here?"

"then you?"

"Oh, I'll go over and take a look.

There is no way, the innovation of Xiaomi mobile phone is really amazing and completely subverts our cognition.

Just like when they launched the full-screen version.

And I feel that this innovation is even more powerful than the full-screen version of that year.”

"So you want to buy rice more?" Kurt's heart tightened.

"That's not the case, let's wait and see!

Anyway, the Apple phone is here, so it doesn’t make much difference whether you buy it a little earlier or a little later.

I'll be back when I finish reading."

Then left without looking back.

Kurt's expression was extremely ugly. You know, everyone had been chatting for such a long time that they had already lined up at the front of the line.

In other words, within five minutes at most, this person can buy the fruit machine he wants.

But if you queue up again, you will have to wait at least another hour.

The other party would rather give up the machine that is within his reach and leave. Even a fool can guess what he is thinking.

Suddenly, the loyal old fan who first spoke to Kurt also left the team.

Kurt couldn't help himself any longer and said, "Brother, it's just a battery with super long battery life, is it so attractive?"

The other party turned around and smiled: “If the other party’s battery is only 5,000 mAh, I won’t even consider it.

With a 5,000 mAh battery, the user experience is not much better than that of fruit.

But now the opponent's battery has a capacity of 15,000 mAh, which is different.

Haven’t you ever experienced battery anxiety?

Especially when the phone battery is only 10 percent left.”

Kurt: “…”

Cold sweat wet my palms unconsciously.

Of course he has experienced the anxiety of mobile phone battery, but compared with reducing the weight of the phone, he thinks many of them can be discarded.

After all, everyone has strong endurance.

It was not until now that Kurt realized that although everyone's patience was strong, it was of course limited.

After all, other mobile phones also have battery anxiety problems.

Since they are both anxious, the eldest brother naturally won't laugh at the second brother.

But now it’s different. Someone has broken this anxiety, and the quantitative change has instantly led to a qualitative change.
