What could be the reason for iPhone price cut

Operators and retailers have lowered the price of iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max in China. Previously, as Apple competed for sales in harsh environments, the iPhone XR's price tag also showed a similar decline.

Although not yet confirmed, there are signs that Apple has lowered the wholesale price of the new iPhone to pass the price drop to consumers without reducing dealer profit. Apple has said that there will be some local price changes in currency fluctuations, but the $300 reduction in iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max is much larger than any change in the RMB in the foreign exchange market.

For me, this is a direct response to iPhone sales, which is twice as fast as other manufacturers' equally high-quality smartphones. Yes, the sales environment is full of challenges, but Apple has triggered a bigger crash than its competitors.

Like every market, China has its own unique conditions. The iPhone in 2018 failed successfully in three key areas.

The Chinese market is very concerned about the rapid update of original specifications and new designs. Apple will definitely talk about the capabilities of its A12 bionic chip, but it is not willing to talk about other areas (including the basics of battery capacity and onboard memory). This makes the iPhone a disadvantage in the retail sector.

This is also equivalent to the iPhone's 'S' year - iPhone XR, XS and XS Max are designed to follow the iPhone X design of last year. There is nothing new to be proud of. Buying the 2018 iPhone is buying "last year's model", which is not consistent with China's geekerati.

Finally, Apple's biggest advantage in the United States does not exist in China. The first problem with any mobile phone on the Chinese market is rarely which operating system and which application stores the phone to use if the app will run WeChat. The iPhone will naturally be like this, but every mobile phone is like this. The "lock" provided by iOS (and the iMessage platform) is not a factor in keeping users into the Apple ecosystem.

Like every market, China reflects global trends. Apple will focus on all of China's iPhones to learn as many courses as possible. There is no iOS wall garden to let consumers enter the interior, without the uniqueness of the iMessage platform, and without the power of the brand name, what can the iPhone help it stand out from the competition?

Tim Cook and his team believe that the answer lies in increasing the revenue of software and services, but these services still require a user base. If iPhone sales around the world follow the trend set by China, then the medium to long-term size of the user base is at risk.

No, your iPhone 12 or Samsung Galaxy S30 does not need a charger

The leak indicates that both Apple and Samsung are preparing to sell smartphones, such as the rumored iPhone 12 and Samsung Galaxy S30, which have no packaging box or charging cable. Instead, these companies may require you to purchase a separate charger or use existing technology already at home. It turns out that this is split, because any manufacturer will lose a key part of its technology, but I believe this is the right approach. I think that manufacturers have taken more responsibility for the waste generated by ordinary people buying new technologies. Throwing unnecessary accessories into the box is a bigger step in bending electronic waste and exceeds your expectations. . According to trusted analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the iPhone 12 will not be equipped with EarPods headphones (cheap wired headphones that you can get for free), nor will it land in the box later this year. Shortly after the iPhone 12 rumors, another report indicated that Samsung is considering whether to adopt so...

Apple just proved that iPhone is more popular than Galaxy S10 and P30 Pro

According to the latest data from Strategy Analytics, Apple was the world's largest smartphone maker in the fourth quarter of 2019. Assuming the data is accurate, this means that the iPhone is more popular than any product released by Samsung or Huawei, including the Galaxy S10 and P30 series. The US tech giant is said to account for 18.9% of the global smartphone market in the fourth quarter of 2019, up from 17.5% in the same period last year. In contrast, Samsung has 18.4% market share, and Huawei has 15% market share. Chinese technology giants Xiaomi and Oppo entered the top five with 8.8% and 8.1% respectively. According to Strategy Analytics, Apple also shipped the most smartphones. Cupertino sold 70.7 million iPhones from October 1, 2019 to December 31, 2019. It is reported that Samsung has sold 68.8 million smartphones, and Huawei ranked third with 56 million during this period. Xiaomi and Oppo once again ranked fourth and fifth, respectively. It is said that Xiaomi has s...

Apple's cheap iPhone may be released soon and this is how it looks

March is only a few weeks away from us, which means that Apple should probably release some shiny new devices. The American technology company is known for its keynote speeches in the spring, and there are many signs that it won't change in 2020. In fact, a report from the German website iPhone-ticker.de speculated that March 31st (Tuesday) would be the date Apple fans want to appear in the diary. That's obviously not out of reach, but what will Apple really reveal in this rumor? Of course, the US company never revealed anything in advance, but many hope to release updates to the popular iPhone SE. The cheap phone maker hasn't updated in years, and many hope that the lower-priced iPhone will eventually return to the store. Apple's current new smartphones start at £ 729, so those who can't use the iPhone 11 or the flagship iPhone 11 Pro will definitely love this budget model. It's unclear what upgrades the device may undergo, but some new pictures originally...
