Great Power Industry: You're a private company building an aircraft carrier?

Amidst the attention of countless reporters and industry elites, Qiao Busi stepped onto the stage. At this moment, he was extremely excited, after all, this was a new beginning for Guo!

"Ladies and gentlemen, since the day our company was founded, innovation has been our guiding principle. Now, our Apple phones have become the most popular phones in North America, with a market share of over 30%! However, the Kirin chips used in our phones have still caused dissatisfaction among some people. Therefore, we have invested heavily and finally developed the groundbreaking A1 chip!"

Being able to manufacture mobile phones is nothing special; after all, it's just an assembly plant. Being able to develop its own chips is what's truly impressive!

Now, Apple has finally launched its own mobile phone chip, which is even more significant than computer chips, since almost everyone owns a mobile phone now!

"This chip uses the Kirin architecture and instruction set, and can smoothly run all the software of Kirin chip phones..."

The East has already entered the industry, and Apple has also entered the mobile phone industry, producing products using Kirin chips. Therefore, if Apple were to develop a completely new architecture and instruction set, it would mean that all software would need to be re-adapted. Apple does not have that much influence at present, so they can only use the same architecture and instruction set.

Fortunately, the East doesn't engage in monopolistic practices; they are open. If outsiders want to use it? Sure!

At this moment, Guo was completely unaware that this was going to be a huge pitfall!

"We installed this chip into our newly developed Apple 4 phone, which has many new features..."

At the press conference, numerous Wall Street heavyweights sided with Apple, creating quite a stir.

Meanwhile, offline, long lines formed in front of various Apple stores, as people were eager to experience the latest Apple phone, which is the pride of their American industry!

John is a mobile phone enthusiast. He lined up outside at four in the morning, and when the store opened at nine o'clock, he was the first to go in. A few minutes later, he came out with the latest Apple 4 mobile phone.

"Hey, what do you think of this phone?" someone in the queue asked.

"This is amazing! The feel, the appearance, the color scheme..." Little John proudly held up his phone.

"How about downloading a game and checking it out?"

Do you pay for data usage?

"A certain Apple store has free WiFi, let's check that out next!"

People queuing to buy looked over, so Little John opened the store and saw several newly listed games.

"Counter-Strike, they even have a mobile phone version now!" John exclaimed excitedly. "This is it!"

For him, this is definitely a great opportunity to show off. Apple fans braved the cold wind hours in advance, just for this moment!

Mobile phones are no longer just communication tools for making calls and sending text messages; they are users' best partners!

The download process is a bit slow, not because the internet speed at this Apple store is slow, but because... the game's installation package is too big!

Downloading took twenty minutes, installing took five minutes, loading took three minutes, and this show-off took a full half hour!

By this time, other people had already bought the phones and left; some left in a hurry, while others stopped to show them off.

"Battle of the Pacific? This is a World War II airplane game, I like it!"

"I still think Tetris is the best."

While everyone was downloading the game, John had already entered the game, clicked to enter, selected a character, picked up his best sniper rifle, and started moving forward. Mobile phone operation is very different from computer operation, but for a game enthusiast, this is nothing.

Ten seconds, twenty seconds...

The phone screen started to freeze, and John immediately panicked. What a crappy phone! The target was right in front of him, but he couldn't snipe him. With this freeze, would the other person throw a flashbang at him the next moment?

In his haste, he brought the phone closer, trying to look at the edge of the screen at an angle, as if he could see the person hiding behind it.

Bang!

Just then, the phone suddenly... exploded!

That's right, it exploded! A fireball appeared, and countless fragments flew towards Little John's face.

Ah… Little John cried out in pain.

Everyone was stunned, watching John buy a phone, watching him show off, and then watching him get blinded by the explosion.

Someone took out their phone and quickly took a picture of Little John. Such an exciting thing, let's post it on WeChat Moments first!

A certain Apple phone exploded, causing the first customer to lose sight in both eyes!

A certain Apple phone has serious quality defects!

Apple phones are unsafe!

The news spread like wildfire across the United States. By noon that day, the long queues had vanished. Apart from a few stubborn individuals who were unafraid, everyone else developed a natural fear of the Apple phone – this thing could explode!

A certain fruit company.

"Damn it, what's going on?" Qiao Busi's face darkened. The original Kirin chip was working perfectly fine, but now, after switching to their own domestically produced chip, this terrible incident has occurred on the very first day of release!

"At the same time as our phone was released, Dongfang launched several new games. These games are all RPGs with excellent graphics and require strong computing power. Our phone..."

"Launched at the same time? Damn it, this must be something the Easterners did on purpose. But... if our Apple phones can't run it, do you think their Eastern phones can?"

Meeting Joe Buss's questioning gaze, Jonathan continued, "We've tested it. Any phone released in the last two years that uses the Kirin 3 chip can run the game with a reduced frame rate. These games detect the chip type during installation and then automatically lower the frame rate..."

"Damn it, this must be deliberately targeting us. Well, we'll release a patch too, and for any game like this, we'll use a frame rate reduction!" Joe Bus said. This is nothing, a patch will do. As for the unlucky guy whose eyes got blown up, we'll just give him $200,000 in hush money!

"Our cell phones..."

"what happened?"

"It needs to be reduced to around five frames per second to function properly."

On a monitor, the specific term is frame rate, which is the number of frames displayed per second. The higher this number, the smoother the picture will be. Generally speaking, the frame rate needs to be above 30 to avoid lag. The Kirin 3 from Eastcom was downgraded to 30 frames per second. Of course, if you want a better visual experience, you need to reach 60. Of course, some high refresh rate phones in later generations can reach up to 120, which looks even more smooth and clear, especially at high speeds.

Right now, with only 5 frames per second, the picture quality is... like watching a slow-motion movie, it's completely unusable!
