Affected by the epidemic, the situation of global inflation has caused a lot of raw material prices to rise, supply is tight, Apple has no competitors after the UNITED States sanctions to suppress Huawei, made a lot of money, and on April 28, 2022, the financial report is also very beautiful, it is simply like the existence of gold-sucking monsters.
In this case, Apple is actually relying on the hegemonic terms of the United States and unscrupulous means to monopolize and earn huge profits, not all relying on strength.
In this case, Apple is also facing challenges, many countries have also issued anti-monopoly allegations and protests, etc., Apple has also aroused the antipathy of the European Union.
On May 3, the EU antitrust agency accused the US anti-monopoly company of restricting the operation of competitors, and the EUROPEAN Union officially issued a written statement to Apple about the antitrust accusation of "ApplePay", and Apple will face a huge fine, and the amount of Apple's fine may be as high as 240 billion.
Apple has been suppressing competitors and restricting the use of mobile payment technology, etc., because of the restriction of users on the device to use other payment systems, this anti-competitive behavior began as early as 7 years ago, Apple will develop programs, block other companies' technical software, can not be used on Apple devices, users do not have the right to choose other technical services, can only pay for Apple to use some of the alternative technology.
And Apple's mobile payment technology restrictions, after being accused will face a fine of up to 200 billion yuan, which is the amount after conversion to the renminbi, Apple does not seem to pay attention to this accusation, because it has not been accused of anti-monopoly before, with the United States as a backing, in fact, the European Union can not really take Apple how, on the contrary, Apple's performance is the more accused the more hot the business, which is also an indisputable fact.
Of course, Apple's face project still has to be done, such as saying that it will meet and communicate with the EU anti-monopoly agency, etc., to discuss this issue, in fact, it is just empty talk, and eventually these huge fines may not be paid.
But the Council of the European Union has long agreed on the Digital Marketplace Act, targeting high-tech giants such as Google, Apple and Amazon that would face a fine of 10 percent for violating the Digital Market Act the previous year, and an additional 20 percent fine if they make another offense.
Apple's mobile phone business showed a significant increase in revenue in the second quarter financial statements, especially in the Greater China region, revenue of $18.3 billion, an increase of three percentage points compared with the same period last year.
This shows that Chinese consumers also contribute a huge market share, I don't know why so many people choose Apple products, but it is undeniable that the consumption capacity of the Chinese region is an important part of apple's total global revenue, Apple revenue of 97.2 billion US dollars, the Greater China region contributed 18.3 billion, this share is really very impressive.
Among them, the iPhone series of mobile phones is still the highlight of Apple's revenue, and consumers in the global market are very recognized by Apple's mobile phone products, and it is also one of the high-end mobile phones generally accepted around the world.
It is precisely because the United States uses improper means to restrict the chip supply of Huawei companies in the mainland, so that Huawei has been hit hard in the field of 5G mobile phones, and only then has Apple's mobile phones invincible in the global market.
This situation does not know whether there will be a breakthrough next year, Huawei is also stepping up independent research and development of chips, in the future, if the company can break through the monopoly of chips, it will break a new way in the world, and will no longer be suppressed so fiercely by the United States and Apple.
The performance and financial reports of Apple in the United States are eye-catching, many of which consumers have not been able to buy Huawei mobile phones that should have been listed long ago, and then turned to buy Apple mobile phones, which is the obvious monopoly market, Huawei 5G mobile phones can not be listed on time, consumers have no choice, can only buy Apple, which is worth showing off, if the mainland Huawei rushes to the market, Apple's performance will definitely fluctuate sharply.
At present, looking at global smartphone sales, another millet mobile phone in the mainland to occupy thirteen percent of the market share is followed by Apple, which occupies eighteen percent of the market, and Apple even if the United States helps monopolize, it has not been able to rank first in the sales list of smart phones, and South Korea's Samsung occupies twenty-four percent of the market for smartphones, becoming the first star of the list.
Can only bite apple rank, the performance of mainland millet is also good, in the future if Huawei can accumulate momentum, I believe there must be a snow shame that day, the market Huawei mobile phone once the conflict chip suppression of the cage, will break out greater competitive energy, then the mainland's domestic mobile phone brand, will go to a broader international market, will also be recognized and praised by more international consumers.
The core competitiveness of high-tech enterprises is to develop important components of independent intellectual property rights, and it is hoped that Huawei can succeed in developing chips as soon as possible, no longer be suppressed by the hegemonic countries of the United States, and increase more strength for the economic construction of the mainland.
