如果苹果发布频率向三星看齐

JP Mangalindan 2013年01月14日

苹果(Apple)公司内部流传着一个老笑话,那就是史蒂夫·乔布斯周围是一片“现实扭曲力场”:你离他太近的话,就会相信他所说的话。苹果的数百万用户中已经有不少成了该公司的“信徒”,而很多苹果投资者也赚得盆满钵满。不过,Elmer-DeWitt认为,在报道苹果公司时有点怀疑精神不是坏事。听他的应该没错。要知道,他自从1982年就开始报道苹果、观察史蒂夫·乔布斯经营该公司。
三星今年至少发布了37款新手机,而苹果仅发布了1款。如果双方角色对调,情况将会如何?

    

    三星(Samsung)在上周早些时候发布的营收业绩十分惊人,部分原因在于盖世(Galaxy)S II等手机大获成功。《纽约时报》(New York Times)最近有文章称,三星公司去年售出了2.15亿部智能手机。而苹果(Apple)的手机销量仅为1.35亿部,要少得多。

    这是有原因的。苹果去年仅发布了一款新iPhone,而三星推出的新机型高达37种。【其它厂商:宏达电(HTC)发布了18款手机,诺基亚(Nokia)推出了9款,而LG推出了24款】。当然,三星手机的畅销纵然离不开出色的硬件设计,但也与其机海战术不无关系。

    这就引出了一个问题:假如苹果也推出37款不同的iPhone新机型,情况将会如何?新机型的情况可能会是下面这样:

    • iPhone Ativ Illiad I930

    • iPhone Universe Grand

    • iPhone Star Deluxe Duos

    • iPhone Universe Axiom

    • iPhone Universe Stratosphere

    • iPhone Universe Discover

    • iPhone Universe Premier

    • iPhone Universe S III mini

    • iPhone Universe Victory 4G

    • iPhone Universe Pocket Duos

    • iPhone Universe Note II

    • iPhone Universe S Lightray 4G

    • iPhone Universe S Duos

    • iPhone Matrix

    • iPhone Universe S III

    • iPhone Universe S III T999

    • iPhone Universe Chat

    • iPhone Extrene III

    • iPhone Universe Appeal

    • iPhone Precept M

    • iPhone Solar 3

    Samsung reported some pretty spectacular earnings earlier this week, driven in part by the success of handsets like the Galaxy S II. A recent New York Times report suggests the company moved 215 million smartphones last year. Apple (AAPL), with 135 million, sold significantly less.

    There's a reason for that. While Apple released one new iPhone last year, Samsung let loose a whopping 37 different phone variations. (For those keeping score, HTC released 18, Nokia introduced nine, and LG launched 24.) Certainly good hardware design played a role in Samsung's healthy sales. But it also didn't hurt that the company flooded the market.

    Which begs the question: What would a world with 37 new and different iPhone models look like? Something like this:

    • iPhone Ativ Illiad I930

    • iPhone Universe Grand

    • iPhone Star Deluxe Duos

    • iPhone Universe Axiom

    • iPhone Universe Stratosphere

    • iPhone Universe Discover

    • iPhone Universe Premier

    • iPhone Universe S III mini

    • iPhone Universe Victory 4G

    • iPhone Universe Pocket Duos

    • iPhone Universe Note II

    • iPhone Universe S Lightray 4G

    • iPhone Universe S Duos

    • iPhone Matrix

    • iPhone Universe S III

    • iPhone Universe S III T999

    • iPhone Universe Chat

    • iPhone Extrene III

    • iPhone Universe Appeal

    • iPhone Precept M

    • iPhone Solar 3
