iPhone7 is about to be released. During this period of time, Apple has really taken a lot of trouble to promote it. Consumers and Apple have different attitudes on word of mouth and sales. Nanjing Hua Xun conducted a survey in the United States. If the appearance of the iPhone 7 does not change, only 10% of the people are willing to pay for the new iPhone.
The same is true in China. Apple, which sold poorly after the release of iPhone 6s and iPhone se, was even squeezed out of the top 5 in the Chinese market, while the top 3 were domestic phones, Huawei, oppo and vivo.
Cook said more than once that the Greater China market is the region that Apple attaches most importance to now and in the future, and all innovations will be considered by the Chinese first. In fact, Cook has really done this.
Whether it is the first choice in China, the addition of a large number of new local features in line with the Chinese in ios10, or the in-depth cooperation with Chinese manufacturers such as WeChat and Didi Taxi, Apple has done its best for the sales of iPhone 7 in China.
However, due to the small changes in appearance and the attack of local mobile phones, such as Huawei, oppo,vivo, Xiaomi and other manufacturers, the iPhone 7 has not yet been released and has lost all word of mouth. Therefore, Apple urgently needs an innovation that can really impress Chinese consumers to face the domestic mobile phone manufacturers from local countries.
And what is this sharp weapon? That is a function that Chinese people have been looking forward to for a long time, double card and double standby!
Speaking of which, Apple is also very bad. This function has been implemented on domestic mobile phones for a long time. Chinese fruit powder has asked Apple for this demand more than once, but Apple just ignored it and responded that users did not have this demand. I am also drunk.
But now iPhone7 is generally boycotted and not optimistic by Chinese users. In this case, Apple actually let go, just to save the hearts of Chinese consumers. I have to say that it is like a person who has committed a crime. You have to put him in a cell before he will wake up and repent.
Recently, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office published a patent application data of Apple. According to the official patent documents, the patent can allow the user's device (UE) to use multiple identity modules (SIMs), which is generally to support dual card dual standby (DSDS).
Previously, foreign media said that iPhone7 may launch a dual-card version. Although it is only a guess, Nanjing Huaxun feels that from this patent, at least to some extent, it can be proved that dual-card will be an alternative for Apple. If the plan is finally implemented, it will be a very important and bold change for the iPhone.
Of course, Apple's dual-card patent is different from other dual-card dual-standby technologies we see on the market. The patent illustrates the operation mode of communication between iPhone and two base stations. We know that wireless communication has evolved from basic call functions to data transmission services, such as the Internet. Professionals say that if the iPhone finally uses the dual-card function, it will have better connection speed and call quality and better network services than dual-card phones on the market.
In addition, according to Nanjing Huaxun, this patent is not only applicable to iPhone, it can also be applied to Apple Watch, MacBook and other devices.
