Preface
As an arrow enterprise in today's mobile phone industry, Apple's mobile phone is often on the hot search list because of the news of new product releases, but recently Apple's mobile phone has been rushed to the hot list again because of positioning problems, which has attracted the anger of netizens.
Apple's mobile phone, which has always been praised by fans, has been ridiculed by netizens because of positioning problems?
iPhone automatic positioning
In recent days, many users of Apple mobile phones have been surprised to find a "hidden function" of Apple mobile phones, when the topic of "oil discovery" is typed into the phone's search bar, the phone's positioning system will be automatically turned on.
After this "hidden function" user posted it on the Internet, it instantly aroused various speculations among netizens, "Apple will not be a spy of the United States", "Won't this be a change of direction to detect mainland oil", "No, we won't really be used", ......
As the incident continues to ferment, Apple officials don't want to lose a large number of consumers because of such a situation, and immediately answer questions for netizens through customer service.
Probably that is to say, our positioning is automatically turned on by default, as long as it is searched in the search bar, the phone will automatically update the current state, and when the user operates, the phone will update the current status according to the user's needs.
In other words, it's not just "discovering oil" that can be triggered, no matter what keyword is sent, the phone will update the current positioning.
In order to prove whether what Apple's customer service said is true, a reporter conducted an experiment.
When the reporter entered the keywords with other words, the Apple mobile phone displayed the location service, and the status of the device was updated, and the reporter's test confirmed the correctness of Apple's official explanation.
And in order to ensure rigor, the reporter also changed several different Apple mobile phones for testing, and the test results were the same as the first time.
The reporter then found several different brands of Android mobile phones for testing, and the test results were really the same as Apple's, and each mobile phone was opened for positioning after filling in the keywords.
Since every brand of mobile phone produces this phenomenon, why did netizens react so much to Apple?
Why is there a huge controversy
As we all know, oil is an extremely important strategic resource in the world, and the country's oil reserves directly determine the ranking status of the country's strength, so every country attaches great importance to oil resources and keeps them secret.
In the same way, all countries in the world know that China and the United States are currently the most competitive in the world, and both sides are competing with each other for international status.
And the United States has always been a representative of the "cautious eye", and when I see that you have developed well, I will make some bad ideas to obstruct you, so everyone will be so cautious when they see the positioning when they import and discover oil, thinking that it is a temptation of the United States.
Secondly, when many friends see this news, they can't help but think of a news reported by mainland CCTV as early as 2016.
At that time, Apple was on the cusp of public opinion because of the location of the back-end server, and there was also an incident of Apple being sued in court, and even attracted the attention of the Beijing Intellectual Property Office.
Combined with the current international tensions and the previous news of Apple's intrigue on the mainland, it is difficult for an ordinary person not to imagine that all this is a conspiracy behind the United States.
So the explosion of public opinion, and the huge controversy caused by all this, is easy to understand.
However, through Apple's official clarification and the reporter's relevant tests, it turns out that this turmoil is an oolong incident, but what information is revealed behind this oolong incident?
Oolong incident
Through the hot comments on this oolong incident, we can see that the two words mentioned most by netizens are: information! Netizens still attach great importance to personal information.
With the popularization of nine-year compulsory education in the mainland, the educational level of the current society has increased significantly.
According to Maslow's theory of needs, the current physiological and safety needs of mainland people have been met, and people will begin to chase higher levels of social needs and respect needs.
The current high-information Internet has enabled many ordinary people to have access to a lot of different knowledge and information, and the expansion of knowledge has enabled many people to gradually detach themselves from the previously closed environment and improve their ideological level.
The people of the mainland have gradually realized the importance of information, just like the previous telephone scams and Myanmar pyramid schemes, which are not caused by the lack of attention to personal information in the past.
And according to the popularity of relevant people, the behavior of the mobile phone to automatically locate and update the status is actually to meet the user's experience, so that the search information can better meet the user's personalized needs, and the user can manually turn off this service according to his own needs.
And this service is not well known to many people, coupled with people's attention to their own information, which also indirectly led to the occurrence of this oolong incident.
suggestion
Today's online world is actually a more direct and open platform than the real world, where we are less restricted and anyone can say their own.
This is also one of the shortcomings of the Internet, because everyone's speech is not restricted, all kinds of opinions will be brought to the stage.
And most Internet users are just a spectator, and most of the time we think that things that have a big repercussion are real at the first time, and our subjective thoughts will be "manipulated".
Therefore, it is extremely important to clarify our own views and positions in today's Internet age, which does not mean that we should always maintain our own opinions, but that we can improve our ability to distinguish between right and wrong.
If the point of view we insisted on at the beginning was wrong or biased, we should also adjust it in time to avoid the recurrence of this incident.
epilogue
With the development of mobile phones to this day, the ultimate purpose of the various functions derived from them is to serve our consumers, and we must also improve our judgment ability in the face of events, and accurately identify whether the information is true while maintaining our own information security.
