Did you lose the bet? The iPhone 15 ProMax "fig leaf" was torn apart, and Cook overestimated Apple

Even if the iPhone 15 series sells for 2W, Chinese consumers will still rush to buy it!

This sentence comes from Apple's CEO Cook, who clearly knows Chinese consumers well, which is why he dares to make such harsh remarks. In the past few years, iPhone has been highly favored by Chinese consumers, no matter how expensive the price is, they always rush to buy. Despite Apple's lack of innovation and the introduction of the "squeeze toothpaste" model, Chinese consumers remain enthusiastic. Because of this, many foreign brands have labeled Chinese consumers as "foolish people with more money" or even "unjust".

After entering 2023, Cook made a huge "bet" that Apple would fully relocate its production lines, gradually shifting the main battlefield from China to India. Obviously, at the risk of "offending" Chinese consumers, Cook is also determined to relocate, which is to "bet" that Chinese consumers will not give up on Apple. But this time, Cook may be disappointed and be severely beaten in the face,

In fact, after Huawei was cut by the US, the attitude of Chinese consumers towards Apple has already changed. The inability to sell the iPhone 14 series is the answer given by Chinese consumers. This is not the first time Cook has concealed the fact that demand in the Chinese market has declined, let alone the iPhone 15 series sold for 2W. Even if the price remains unchanged, Chinese consumers may not necessarily pay.

Recently, Tech Level announced the finalization of the iPhone 15 ProMax, and its configuration has also been fully exposed. But this news is equivalent to tearing apart the "fig leaf" of the iPhone 15 ProMax. From a configuration perspective, the iPhone 15 series is not even as good as the iPhone 14 series. As a consumer, would you voluntarily pay an "intelligence tax"?

Compared to the iPhone 14 ProMax, the biggest upgrade point of the iPhone 15 ProMax is that it is equipped with a new generation of 3nm technology A17 processor and will be upgraded to 8GRAM. However, in terms of screen and main camera, there have been no changes to the iPhone 15 ProMax. Under pressure from the European Union, the entire iPhone 15 series will also upgrade to the Type-C interface. In addition, there will be no significant upgrades to the iPhone 15 series.

In other words, the iPhone 15 ProMax, which sells for over 10000 yuan, has almost no major upgrades compared to the previous generation. Isn't this fooling consumers? In the past few years, Apple has basically been "eating its roots", continuing to "harvest" consumers with its A-series chips and iOS system.

Even if consumers have feelings for Apple, three years should have been exhausted, right? From the iPhone 12 series to the iPhone 14 series, there has been almost no change in its exterior design, and the configuration is also very different, and consumer disappointment has basically come to an end. I personally believe that the iPhone 15 series will be Apple's last chance. If Cook continues to "mess up", the iPhone 15 series may be even more stretched than the iPhone 14 series, and Apple's glorious era may be coming to an end, and a decline is inevitable.

Objectively speaking, besides the iOS system and A-series chips, what else is left on the iPhone? After Huawei was criticized by the US, the performance of the domestic high-end camp is obvious to all. The hardware stack is fierce, the software optimization is excellent, and coupled with the extreme cost-effectiveness, it can be said that compared to the iPhone, domestic phones are not too bad. Moreover, Huawei also has Harmony system support, and Apple is no longer so "popular".

Overall, as a US company, Apple's "heart" is no longer with Chinese consumers. By relocating its production line, it can be seen that in order to pursue maximum benefits, Apple gives up when it gives up, and leaves when it leaves. It is completely untrustworthy. In the same sentence, foreign companies are the same and cannot be relied on. What do you think of this? Welcome to comment and leave a message!
