Apple was very efficient. It only took three days for the plan to be put into effect. Soon, the Chinese smartphone industry was shaken. Apple officially released an announcement condemning Hongxin Company.
"Hongxin Company's Hongxin mobile phone system's' Red Tie 'function is suspected of infringing our company's IOS system rights."
"After investigation and monitoring, Hongxin's mobile phone system provided IOS software conversion function in Hongxin's mobile phone system without our permission. This has seriously infringed our company's rights."
"From today onwards, no IOS software can be downloaded or used on Hongxin's mobile phone system. Violators will face punishment such as removal of the software. In addition, the IOS account was not licensed to other channels. It is illegal to use it on other devices other than Apple's. We will pursue the matter. "
"Hongxin Electronics Co., Ltd. will take action against this infringement and compensate us for our losses …"
In short, this announcement meant that Apple was going to take action against Hongxin. They were going to restrict software downloads and demand compensation from Hongxin.
When the announcement was released, it was immediately reported by the media and caused a huge controversy.
Penguin News: "Apple has used their trump card. Hongxin may be sued!"
Today's News: "Apple has released a new announcement, accusing Hongxin of copyright infringement!"
Xin Lang News: "Apple accuses Hongxin of copyright infringement. More than 4,000 apps will be removed from Hongxin's mobile phone system!"
Mobile Home: "Did Hongxin's mobile phone system really infringe? Legal experts: "It's hard to say!"
…
Apple's announcement was not only released in the form of a news release. Even IOS users and software developers received the same email.
Apple users did not feel anything when they saw this. They were used to this kind of behavior.
However, HX2 users were unhappy when they saw this. "Apple is doing it again! Damn, how did Hongxin infringe? They are not using their system! "
"Does this mean that many of HX2's apps cannot be downloaded in the future?"
"No wonder I couldn't open a few apps. I thought my phone was broken!"
"It's fine if you don't want to use it. The Android software can also be used on the Hongxin system! Everyone, just download the Android version! "
"Isn't this forcing us to choose between an Apple phone and a Hongxin phone?"
Compared to the complaints of the users, the major software developers were even louder. If they wanted to use the software they had originally designed on Hongxin phones, they would have to redevelop the software for the Hongxin system. This was a huge cost.
Originally, with every update of the Android and IOS systems, their software had to be updated. Now, with the addition of the Hongxin system software update, the development cost, maintenance cost, and other operating costs had increased again. Some small companies could only give up on one version of the software. Choose between the IOS software and the Hongxin software.
At Hongxin Electronics Co., Ltd., Lu Zixin was also the first to receive this news. But he was not affected. He even wanted to play a few rounds of the ranking matches.
Tang Gang was not anxious this time. He laughed. "Apple is panicking. I thought they would come up with some clever tricks to deal with us. Who knew they would use such a trick!"
"Banning the use of IOS software on the Hongxin system will not affect us much. Most of the software used by Chinese users have Android versions. They just need to download the Android software. "
"Also, we can use this opportunity to introduce the standard software for the Hongxin system. We can let some software developers start to design software based on our phone's system! We can expand our influence. "
"Their company is not taking us seriously!" Su Zhirong analyzed. "They still haven't learned their lesson from the last downgrade incident!"
"This is their usual style." Lu Zixin laughed. "But this time, Apple has miscalculated. Their opponent is Hongxin!"
"If they want to sue us, we will fight them." This kind of lawsuit dispute was common in every big company. Moreover, this incident did not have a big impact. Hongxin did not need to care.
"But we can't not fight back." Lu Zixin continued. "Since they are afraid that we will take over their market, we will make their fears come true. When the users and software developers have a choice, we will be the first to choose. We will eliminate them! "
…
In the industry, everyone was also discussing this matter.
At Da Mi Company, Tian Xiangjun was discussing this matter with a few executives.
Tian Xiangjun said, "Apple is trying to take drastic measures. They are using their influence to force the software developers and Hongxin. If Hongxin does not handle this well, they will be greatly affected. "
"Actually, it's not just them. Hongxin's rise has put us under a lot of pressure. Just because of the appearance of the HX2 phone, all the high-end smartphones in the market have lowered their prices. They are fighting a price war with Hongxin. "
"Even Apple has quietly lowered the price of their phones by 200 RMB. This is a big clash!"
"When the sandpiper and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits." Tian Xiangshan said, "They will fight among themselves. We will use this time to expand our influence in the domestic market. At the same time, we will sell our latest Ultra Android phones in India and other Southeast Asian countries. We will take over the international market."
Penguin Corporation, as a domestic Internet giant, was also the largest software development company. Naturally, Apple's announcement affected them as well.
In the conference room, the executives were discussing how to handle this matter. "Now that Hongxin phones have removed the ability to convert to IOS software, many of our mobile apps need to be redesigned to adapt to Hongxin's operating system."
"This is a lot of work. I am afraid it will not be done in a short time!"
"We still have to do the work. Hongxin now has more than 10 million users. We cannot give up on such a huge user base."
"As for the battle between Hongxin and Apple, let's just sit back and watch."
One of the executives said, "Actually, I hope Hongxin can beat Apple. The 'Apple Tax' in the software is costing us hundreds of millions every year."
"It will be difficult. After all, Apple is a big company. Their user base and loyalty are higher than Hongxin. This time, Hongxin is going to take a big hit. "
… …
While the public was speculating about Hongxin's actions, Hongxin quickly responded.
First, Hongxin will not admit to infringement. If they want to sue, Hongxin will accompany them. Hongxin strongly condemns Apple's actions of not caring about the users' feelings!
Next, Hongxin promised the software developers that Hongxin will help them develop Hongxin's operating system software. Hongxin will not affect their normal operations and will not collect "application tax."
Hongxin also has its ways to deal with the users. Lu Zixin led the team to develop Hongxin's Smart Voice Assistant will be released in advance. All Hongxin phone users can download the new version and use it. Not only that, Hongxin will also release a new HX2, Moudle. After the new model is released, the original HX2 smartphone will be sold for 200 RMB. This will continue to impact the smartphone market and go head-to-head with Apple!
