Chapter 498 Apple's Choice
PS: The tiring week is finally over, it is rare to take a day off, close the codeword, and break out tomorrow morning!
----

The Apple mobile phone was able to kill Nokia, which has been brilliant for 20 years, and firmly sit on the absolute hegemony of the mobile phone industry, overwhelming Samsung and crushing LG, not only because of the high-end image established in the Jobs era, but also because of the subsequent compromise to the market and compliance with the market !
You know, Steve Jobs, an old man, has always emphasized that a large-screen mobile phone is useless, and Apple will never make a large-screen phone!

It wasn't until Jobs passed away that Samsung rose strongly with its large-screen mobile phones. Apple mobile phones in the Cook era began to launch 5-inch and 5.5-inch large-screen mobile phones.

Make Apple's market share stable again.

Just imagine, if Apple does not launch 5-inch and 5.5-inch large-screen mobile phones, continue the 4.0 route, and follow Jobs' old path, I am afraid that the current Apple will have become the second Nokia!

Therefore, after this, Apple immediately made a fairly in-depth summary and analysis, and deeply learned the lessons of Nokia's decline, so as to make a new direction:
Give up sensibility and obey the market!

Especially on key issues, even if you abandon Apple's consistent tradition, you must obey the market!
Because they know that if the original Nokia was like this, it would not end like this!
You must know that Nokia at that time had no shortage of technology, a lot of patents, excellent quality, and no mention of workmanship.

Even music, photography, etc., are excellent, and even absolutely number one in the industry.

The only disadvantage is that the Symbian system of Nokia's partial function machine is not powerful.

Just imagine, if Nokia at that time could decisively abandon the Symbian system that should have been eliminated, and invest in the Android camp like Samsung and other mobile phones, instead of the extremely immature and even hopeless WP!
Coupled with Nokia's excellent military quality and absolute leading technology, I am afraid that Nokia mobile phones will not end like this at all, right?

As for the last sentence that Nokia President Stephen Elop said: We don't know what we did wrong, but we just lost.

This is even more of a joke. I have been immersed in the dream of an absolute empire for 20 years. I have always believed that the Symbian system can continue to fight for a few more years. I have always believed that WP is the new belonging and the hope for Nokia to rise again...

It can be said that Nokia made repeated mistakes from the beginning to the end!
As for the WP system, don't say that Nokia can't play it, even WP's father, Microsoft, is almost playing himself to death.

You must know that Microsoft spent 72 billion US dollars to acquire Nokia's mobile phone business, hoping to make WP a tripartite existence with Apple's IOS, Google Android, and Google.

But in fact, Apple's IOS is still strong, Google's Android continues to rise, and Nokia's WP is dying, waiting to die.

Even Microsoft has plans to give up the mobile phone business!
Plus, the future is very likely to be put into action!

Therefore, in the face of Microsoft's lessons learned, Apple will never repeat the same mistakes, and will inevitably give up sensibility and obey the market.

Based on this idea, for Mortal Semiconductor and TSMC, Apple will naturally choose TSMC, which is more mature and less risky.

So, facing all the senior directors, Cook said in a deep voice: "We can't be like Huawei and put all our bets on mortal semiconductors. It's impossible for us to hand over hundreds of millions of chip orders to only Five 5nm lithography machines for mortal semiconductors, handed over to mortal semiconductors who are uncertain about everything."

For Cook's decision, the vast majority of Apple directors nodded in agreement.

But there are still very few directors who hesitate, thinking that mortal semiconductors may perform miracles again.

Especially a younger Apple director, who seemed to be surprisingly optimistic about Mortal Technology, couldn't help saying:
"If the mortal semiconductor can reproduce the miracle of mortal technology, wouldn't we suffer a heavy loss? What's more, if mortal technology gives us the battery module, if we don't support mortal technology, will we be restricted by then..."

Hearing this, Cook frowned slightly, but still shook his head: "There is always a solution to the battery module issue, and the big deal is to pay a little more at that time. But in terms of chips, we are too big to bet on. rise!"

Yes, Apple can't afford to gamble, and it's impossible to place all bets on a mortal semiconductor with an uncertain future.

This kind of extremely crazy thing, Apple can't do it!
No way, just like a country, the bigger the country, the more stable, or conservative, it is.

And the bigger the company, the less aggressive it is, the less it dares to innovate!
Faced with Cook's remarks, the young director could only nod and said nothing more.

Cook looked around at the crowd again and sighed:
"In terms of chips, our class chooses TSMC. After half a month, I will personally attend TSMC's strategic cooperation conference. Next year, TSMC's 16nm production capacity, we must account for the majority. As for the cheating Samsung 14nm, go to hell!"

Until now, when it comes to Samsung's 14-nanometer technology, Cook is still indignant.

There is no way, because Samsung's 14nm is too poor, and power consumption is a problem, making the iPhone 6S series deeply trapped in the chip gate, accelerating the decline in sales, and even falling to the top. Cook is very annoyed about this.

In contrast, Samsung's own Orion 7420, which is also Samsung's 14nm process, is surprisingly good at power consumption.

This made Apple couldn't help thinking more.

Is it because Samsung's technology is not good, or is Samsung deliberately digging holes for Apple?
But no matter what, Apple can no longer trust Samsung. It is the wisest decision to fall to TSMC in an all-round way!
"As for mortal technology!" Cook sighed: "We can't be negligent, after all, their black technology, cutting-edge services, and powerful monopoly hardware, we at Apple need it all."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

but.Everyone felt a little uncomfortable.

Although Apple is not good at hardware, it is provided or manufactured by third parties.

For example, Apple's screens from Samsung come to assemble chips from TSMC and Samsung, and so on.

But whether it is Samsung or TSMC, in order to get a big order from Apple, they are very polite, even made compromises, and actively lowered the price.

After all, everyone's goal is to make money!

And with such a large amount of apples, you can't give up at all, you must fight for it!
But when it comes to Mortal Technology, it is just such a new company in China, but it doesn't follow the routine at all, and it doesn't take making money as its main purpose.

For example, the battery module, this kind of killer, if the mortal technology releases the restrictions, I am afraid that it will immediately obtain unimaginable profits.

But Wang Fan didn't, and only let go of 5 places!
　This week has been very busy and tiring, and I finally have a day off. Let’s not say anything else, retreat to codewords, and break out tomorrow morning!
