Huawei Challenges Apple! A "Peak Showdown" Between Tech Giants on September 10th

This morning, Huawei officially announced on Weibo that it will hold a "See the Extraordinary Brand Ceremony and HarmonyOS Smart Travel New Product Launch Conference" on September 10th at 2:30 PM. This conference will unveil a series of digital products and HarmonyOS Smart Travel new cars, but what's more noteworthy is its coincidence with Apple's annual fall product launch event. The two world-class tech giants holding their launch events on the same day is bound to stir up a storm in the media, especially when it comes to their smartphone offerings. This will undoubtedly be a hot topic among netizens, and Huawei seems to be deliberately taking on the role of "challenger," once again engaging in a head-on confrontation with Apple.

This is not the first time Huawei has employed such a strategy. This year, Huawei even incorporated a sense of "direct confrontation" into its promotional posters. Apple's tagline is "High Moments," while Huawei's is "Moments Highlight." From the poster design, it's clear that the unveiling of Huawei's "tri-fold screen" phone is a done deal. This foldable phone was previously spotted in the hands of Richard Yu on a plane, and the photos triggered a wave of discussions online, with netizens playfully suggesting it might become the next "electronic Moutai" [referring to a highly sought-after Chinese liquor].

Meanwhile, Apple will be releasing its annual iPhone updates on September 10th, expected to be the iPhone 16 series. However, the general consensus is that this series will not feature significant innovations, with Apple appearing to be more conservative in its product design.

Although Huawei's foldable phone and the iPhone 16 series represent different forms of products and do not directly compete, Huawei's decision to hold its launch on the same day is undoubtedly an attempt to generate some buzz. After all, September is widely known as "Digital Month," with various smartphone manufacturers launching their flagship phones over the next three months.

Beyond smartphones, Huawei's HarmonyOS Smart Travel is also attracting significant attention. The AITO M9 five-seater version will be unveiled at this launch event, alongside models like the Zhijie R7.

On September 10th, a "peak showdown" between tech giants is about to unfold. Can Huawei, with its "challenger" status, leverage its "tri-fold screen" phone and HarmonyOS Smart Travel new cars to gain an advantage in the fierce market competition? We'll just have to wait and see.
