After Huawei released the new mobile phone Mate 60 Pro at the end of August, many articles on the Chinese network appeared on the title of "Huawei Full and Apple Falling".market share.

From the perspective of many public opinion in China, Apple's fourth quarter financial report released on Thursday (November 2) in the United States seems to confirm the judgment of these articles.

The

Report shows that Apple's sales have declined for four consecutive quarters for four consecutive quarters, and the duration has been the longest since 2001.Although Apple's net profit increased by 10.79%year -on -year, revenue decreased by 0.72%year -on -year to $ 89.498 billion (S $ 121.837 billion).Among them, Apple Greater China revenue was US $ 15.084 billion, a year -on -year decrease of 2.5%, surpassing Apple's revenue globally.

The news broke the market confidence, and Apple's stock price fell more than 3%in the after -market transactions.

The weak performance of Apple has a strong contrast with Huawei's performance report last week.According to data released by Huawei, the company achieved sales revenue of 456.6 billion yuan (about S $ 84.962 billion) in the first three quarters, an increase of 2.4%year -on -year.

The data released by the market research institution Counterpoint Research shows that the overall sales volume of Chinese smartphones has decreased by 3%year -on -year in the three months as of September.Huawei's smartphone sales increased by 37%in the same period, and Apple's mobile phone sales declined by 10%.

The above data shows that the breakthrough in Huawei's hardware has brought a certain degree of impact on Apple.Yu Chengdong, the president of Huawei Consumer Business, is often used in the product conference "Far Leading". In the past two years, it has been used by netizens to ridicule Huawei's backwardness. Now in Huawei's supporters"Far leading".

However, the cause of the weakness of Apple is complicated, and it is not purely impacted by Huawei.Apple performance has been declining for a long time before the launch of Mate 60 Pro, and it also includes factors such as the Sino -US science and technology game, limited supply of Apple production, and disputes caused by lack of innovation and quality of Apple's own products.

At the same time that the Chinese and American mobile phone giant hardware competition enters the fierce stage, the competition between the two sides in mobile software is also in full swing.

In 2019, Huawei was included in the American entity list, and released the Hongmeng operating system, which opened the ecosystem of the Sino -US mobile phone giants.

The entity list in the United States cuts off the channels for Huawei to obtain American goods and services without government permission, including the use of Android applications and services such as Android applications such as Play Stores.However, Huawei can still use the Android open source project (AOSP), and Huawei has continued to support the use of Android applications on its mobile phones in the past few years.

However, Huawei is accelerating the establishment of an ecosystem independent of Android.Huawei has announced in September that next year, Hongmeng HarMonyS NEXT system will be launched to fully launch Hongmeng's native application.This means that the new generation of Hongmeng is likely to completely strip AOSP, only supporting Hongmon's core and corresponding applications.

In addition to Huawei, Xiaomi 14, equipped with the new surging OS system, was also released in October.According to Chinese media reports, Lei Jun, the founder of Xiaomi Group, claimed that Xiaomi 14 will "get off the level" Apple 15 Pro.Vivo also released the self -developed Blue River operating system BlueOS this week, and vice president of Vivo showed that the system was not both tolerant of Android applications.

In the context of the Chinese and American technology games, Chinese mobile phone giants are accelerating their own ecosystem layout and seeking out of the Western ecosystem to reduce the risk of being enclosed.

But the research and development of China's mobile phone ecosystem is still in the preliminary stage of hundreds of contention and their respective exploration.Taking the Earlier Hongmeng system established as an example, data released by Huawei in September showed that more than 700 million in Hongmeng ecological equipment, Harmonyos registered developers reached more than 2.2 million.In comparison, more than 3 billion smartphone users in the world use the Android ecosystem, and the number of global mobile application developers of Android exceeds 5.9 million, far exceeding Hongmeng.

In the scientific and technological warfare in the field of mobile phones in China and the United States, China's development in the field of hardware in mobile phones has entered the stage of accelerating the catch -up of the United States.However, hardware is only one of the many arena of the China -US mobile phone giants. The current competition between the two sides also focuses on the Chinese market. There are about three -quarters of the smartphone market in the world outside China.

Chinese mobile phone giants should truly lead the leader in the global mobile phone industry and become the leader of the world. Not only must they catch up with mobile phone hardware and grow on the ecosystem, but they must also ensure that there is an ecological ecology that is different from Apple and Android.The system can integrate into the world.

Huawei's breakthrough development in the past few months shows that even if it has been blocked by the United States in technology, it is not possible to "lead" in the field of mobile phones; but from a practical point of view, it is still aheaddistant.
