Luo Yonghao Lashed Out At Apple’s 30% Tip Cut Policy, Saying
|
Let’s look at Apple itself. Recently, market survey company Strategy Analytics released a report, which shows that Apple accounted for 83% of the revenue in the first quarter this year, while the other 17% is enjoyed by other phone makers. In May, Apple’s capitalization reached $800 billion. Analysts at the Wall Street believe that Apple’s share price still has the potential to climb higher, and that hitting one trillion in capitalization this year is not impossible. On the other hand, the Chinese market has been the most important market for Apple, in which its market share is shrinking. IDC China’s smartphone report shows that in 2016 iPhone’s shipment in China had been 44.9 million, a 23.2% year-on-year drop, accounting for 9.6% of the market share ranked as the fourth. However, Apple’s App Store is the biggest market for Apple in 2016, even generating more revenue than the U.S. market. Since the CEO appointment, Tim Cook has visited China for over ten times. To boost the capitalization to over one trillion dollars, Apple needs to generate more revenue and more advantages. And this couldn’t be achieved without the Chinese market. Aside from the tip cut controversy, Apple should put its focus on its gradually slowing down smartphone sales in China. Will iPhone 8 be a strong stimulus for Apple? It’s uncertain. Apple hasn’t been wowing the public like it used to be able to do in recent years. Changing the phone color is not really seen as a “one more thing” in the Chinese market. Chinese users want something more than that. There are also reports citing that Apple would introduce iOS personal cash transfer service in fall this year. However, if users used credit cards for the transfer, a 3% service fee would be charged. Does that mean Alipay would become the next app with “issues”? It’s quite pretentious for Apple to act as a fair role while exploiting other companies for their own gain. ……………………………………………………………………………………………………… (Like our Facebook pageand follow us now on Twitter @tmtpostenglish, on Medium @TMTpost, on Instagram @tmtpost_englishand on AppleNews@TMTpost) The article is published with authorization from the author @Zhang Lin, please note source and hyperlink when reproduce.] Translated by Garrett Lee(Senior Translator at PAGE TO PAGE), working for TMTpost. 责任编辑： （编辑：52刷机网） 【声明】本站内容均来自网络，其相关言论仅代表作者个人观点，不代表本站立场。若无意侵犯到您的权利，请及时与联系站长删除相关内容! |
