As a result, Apple quickly followed suit with its full-screen solution, since full-screen is more of a new design than a new technology.
Therefore, there was no such thing as a technological barrier. With the help of Apple's R&D team, the full-screen iPhone was launched soon after.
The following year, a trend of full-screen displays swept the global smartphone market.
In just one year, Xiaomi has made another big move!
The curved screen and foldable screen released today are not just design innovations like full-screen displays; they are entirely technological innovations that ordinary mobile phone manufacturers cannot easily imitate.
Fortunately, Apple is not to be underestimated. Foldable screen solutions are no secret among smartphone manufacturers worldwide.
The only secret is how far each research team has progressed.
It seems that Xiaomi has done the best in terms of secrecy, as they were the first to release it.
Jobs picked up the phone and called the head of the iPhone design department.
"How's our research on foldable screens at Apple going?"
"It's already finished, and only the final system debugging stage is left. I just didn't expect that Xiaomi from China would beat us to it."
"It's okay. It's better to be beaten to it by Xiaomi than by the Koreans or Xiao Rizi."
"Haha, you're not wrong, but according to my prediction, the Koreans and the Little Sun will also release foldable screens in a week."
"Okay, then let's start a few days earlier than them, how about that?"
"No problem, three days! I only need three days!"
...
At 7:30 p.m. the following day, Xiaomi's official website, Pinduoduo Xiaomi flagship store, and JD.com Xiaomi flagship store simultaneously launched the Redmi 2, Xiaomi 3, and the highly anticipated Golden Mi phone.
Countless people squatted in front of their computers and waited in front of their phones, ready to grab the deals.
At this moment, Lin Chen suddenly posted a Weibo message.
"Dear Mi Fans, while the phone is great, don't overdo it! The Jinmi phone and the Xiaomi phone have 99% of the same functions. Moreover, digital products are updated very quickly. Maybe next year foldable screens won't be so expensive. So please choose according to your own financial situation. Thank you again for your support."
—Published by Jinmi Mobile Phone
After Lin Chen posted on Weibo, the number of comments immediately increased.
"Hehe, Lin Gou, you're right. Don't say that again next time."
"When I saw the last few words, 'Published by Jinmi phone,' I wanted to beat Lin to death."
"Upstairs, when are you going to call? I'll hand you a sack."
"I'll provide the sticks."
"I'll provide spiked clubs!"
"My God, how can such a despicable person be so rich?"
"Young man, being a dog is the essence of making money. If you haven't made any money, it just means you're not dog-like enough."
"Master, I understand now."
"Well, now that you've figured it out, don't worry about the consultation fee. This master won't fight you for your phones."
"I'm calling the police! There's a fake 'master' here trying to scam me out of my money."
At exactly 8 o'clock, suddenly, Xiaomi's official website, Pinduoduo, and JD.com all crashed.
"Huh? Why did it collapse?"
"What's going on? Didn't you all say you weren't going to buy? So you were just trying to trick me into not buying?"
Fortunately, she recovered quickly.
"Haha, I got it, brothers."
"Huh? What happened? Why are Jinmi phones suddenly out of stock?"
"Wow, I hadn't even noticed until you mentioned it. How come the Jinmi phone sold out the fastest? Are there that many rich people?"
Lin Chen also noticed this situation and had someone check the backend access records to see what was going on.
Although he knew the Jinmi phone would sell out, he didn't expect it to sell out so quickly. The Xiaomi Mi 3 only sold 1,000 units, while the Jinmi phone sold out in 9,999 units. Is that reasonable?
Soon, the technical department checked the backend records and found that both the recipient and the delivery address were normal, and there were no duplicates.
This indicates that all orders are normal and there is no fraudulent activity involved.
Hearing this result, Lin Chen was a little dumbfounded. It seems that he had underestimated how rich the people of China were.
What Lin Chen didn't know was that a large portion of these were purchased by people sent by various domestic and international mobile phone manufacturers.
Some companies even directly ordered all employees to go home and try to grab a Jinmi phone, with a 1,000 yuan bonus for whoever succeeded!
This caused the network lag at 8 o'clock, and the servers were almost overloaded.
Fortunately, after the Jinmi phones were sold out, we didn't encounter any further problems.
Two days later, Apple suddenly held a surprise product launch event.
This has never happened before, so it has attracted a lot of attention. What kind of heavyweight product is Apple going to release?
Then, Jobs unveiled Apple's foldable phone.
The entire audience erupted in uproar.
What's going on? Are foldable phones as cheap as cabbages? Xiaomi just released one, and Apple followed suit immediately. Will all the major phone manufacturers release theirs soon?
After a brief introduction, Jobs announced that Apple's foldable phone would be codenamed iPhone Z, and would be priced at...
A reporter immediately asked a question.
"Mr. Jobs, a few days ago, Xiaomi Technology from China released the world's first foldable screen phone, priced at [price missing], while the iPhone Z is priced at [price missing]. Where do you think the difference in price lies?"
Jobs pushed up his glasses and answered.
"The key is the system; iOS is a hundred times better than Android."
After saying that, he turned and left.
The media reporters' eyes lit up immediately. News reports need a gimmick, and here it is!
Soon, news about Jobs mocking Android swept the globe.
iOS is 100 times better than Android
Steve Jobs thought Android was terrible.
Steve Jobs thought Google was garbage.
...
They just went for whatever was eye-catching, and Apple's fans really went all out, taking Steve Jobs' words as gospel and believing that Android phones were simply no match for iPhones.
However, it must be said that just one sentence from Jobs was enough to generate a lot of buzz for the iPhone Z, attracting a lot of attention even before it went on sale.
Many people are already prepared to rush to buy them, including many Apple fans who plan to buy them to mock the Android users around them.
The Google president also received many questions from reporters who wanted to know his opinion on Jobs' statement.
Google CEO Sundar was speechless; it was obvious that Jobs was just using publicity stunts.
It's definitely not acceptable to admit that Steve Jobs was right.
If they say Android is better than iOS, that gives the iPhone a new wave of popularity, which is a disguised way of promoting Apple.
Steve Jobs was such a cunning guy.
Sang Da'er had no choice but to shut himself away and stop paying attention to the reporters.
