As we all know, due to the sanctions of the old United States, Huawei's life has not been good in recent years, from the beginning of restricting Huawei's use of US technology and software design, to later restricting Huawei's purchase of 5G chips and restricting TSMC from providing chip foundry services to Huawei, and now the United States is considering cutting off all ties between Huawei and US suppliers. It can be said that Laomei's purpose is very clear, that is, to "kill" Huawei.
Under a series of suppression and sanctions by Lao Mei, Huawei's consumer business has taken a sharp turn, and revenue and profits have also experienced a large-scale decline. In particular, Huawei's mobile phone shipments fell from the peak to the top five because they did not support 5G networks. Even Yu Chengdong laughed at himself: As the world's largest contributor to 5G technology, Huawei's mobile phones cannot use 5G is a big joke.
One thing is to say, after Huawei was forced to "fall", Apple became the biggest beneficiary. According to relevant data, up to now, Apple's share of the Chinese market is as high as 27%, and in 2022, Apple alone will occupy 75% of the global high-end market share.
You know, this data is still calculated under the premise that the iPhone 14 series has been controversial in innovation. In other words, even if the quality of Apple's iPhone products collapses, it will be strongly supported by domestic consumers, because since Huawei lost competitiveness, domestic mobile phone manufacturers such as Xiaomi and OV are simply unable to carry the banner of domestic high-end brands, which is the main reason why Cook has never worried about Apple's mobile phone sales in the Chinese market.
It is worth mentioning that at last year's Huawei Mate 50 series conference, Yu Chengdong made such a promise: the supply chain of Huawei mobile phones has been greatly improved, and Huawei mobile phones will no longer be difficult to buy.
In fact, since the launch of the Huawei Mate 50 series, the market share of Huawei mobile phones has begun to stop falling and recover. According to the data, in the fourth quarter of last year, Huawei's mobile phone market share suddenly rushed into the top six of the domestic sales list, reaching 9.5%.
After entering 2023, Huawei once again brings us surprises. Just on March 23, Huawei officially released the P60 series of high-end mobile phones and the MateX3 series. According to the latest news, Huawei P60 series was snatched up when it went on sale, and offline stores lined up for a long time. Obviously, this is the situation that Apple does not want to see, before this scene was exclusive to Apple, and it was also the dream of domestic mobile phone manufacturers such as Xiaomi and OV, and now Huawei mobile phones have ushered in a new round of outbreak.
In the eyes of the outside world, the big sales of Huawei mobile phones can be regarded as completely tearing off the "fig leaf" of other domestic mobile phone manufacturers. Objectively speaking, the development of friends in recent years is not too much to describe as unsuccessful, such as the Google operating system that has not changed for 10,000 years, and the Snapdragon series chips provided by Qualcomm.
Huawei, on the other hand, has either launched the Hongmeng operating system and HMS ecosystem services, or released XMAGE imaging technology and Beidou communication satellite functions. The key is that Huawei's upgrade configuration does not rely on overseas companies, but is achieved through independent research and development.
What is even more exciting is that just some time ago, Huawei officially released an important data, that is, in the years of old US sanctions, Huawei has completed the domestic replacement of more than 13,000 devices and more than 4,000 circuit boards. In addition, Huawei Xu Zhijun also said that Huawei has basically realized the localization of EDA software for chips above 14nm. This also proves that Huawei Yu Chengdong did not talk big, Huawei has indeed solved the problem of mobile phone supply chain and production capacity.
In any case, the reason why Huawei can "survive" with quality under the extreme pressure of the old United States is inseparable from Huawei's high annual R&D investment. Of course, the author also hopes that domestic friends will not be too sad, instead of caring about the "fig leaf" on their bodies being torn off, it is better to focus on independent research and development, and use strength to create a brand image that is completely their own.
