If iPhone really wants dual SIM dual standby, will you support it?
|
"Dual SIM dual standby" may not be a compliment to many people, after all, it used to be the unique selling point of copycat phones. But then again, the market demand for dual SIM dual standby function is real, and some big manufacturers have gradually let go of their reserve over the years. This may include Apple. Apple also wants dual SIM dual standby? If someone told you a month or two ago that "iPhone will support dual SIM dual standby", you would definitely laugh three times, after all, this function that seems to only appear on copycat phones is really not in line with Apple's image. Because of this, such news will suddenly explode on domestic social networks. As early as the beginning of this year, Apple has actually applied for a patent for dual SIM dual standby mobile phones in China. According to the information, Apple has two patents related to dual SIM dual standby devices, namely, the dual SIM network selection function with patent number 2016101166075, and the power consumption reduction technology of dual SIM devices with patent number 2016100813788. It is understood that these two patents are still awaiting proposal review. Interestingly, Apple's interest in dual SIM dual standby seems to be much stronger than we thought. The US Patent and Trademark Office published a patent submitted by Apple in August this year, which is about "device using multiple SIM cards". Long before the release of iPhone 7, we have seen rumors that it will be equipped with dual SIM dual standby function. Although everyone knows the final result, this may also reflect people's "simple wishes" to some extent. When such news came out, many fans must be unbearable: How can iPhone have dual SIM dual standby? Isn't this going to lower the fashion value? But if you think about it carefully, it is no longer the past era. Dual SIM dual standby is not a patent for copycat phones In fact, the dual SIM dual standby function has long been no longer an "exclusive function" exclusively for copycat phones. In recent years, we have seen its existence on many brand phones, even flagship phones. In 2012, Samsung Galaxy Note 2 supports dual SIM dual standby, which can be said to be the first flagship phone that breaks people's stereotypes. Such a "king" mobile phone supports dual SIM cards, which really gave people a big shock at the time. After Note 2, Samsung simply couldn't stop, and its flagship lineup supported dual SIM dual standby without hesitation. Even the impressive Galaxy S6, Galaxy S7, and even the latest Galaxy Note 7, all continued the tradition of supporting this function. Samsung is not the only major manufacturer that is keen on dual SIM dual standby. Sony's Xperia Z5 Premium is a very popular dual SIM dual standby flagship. In addition, flagship phones from major manufacturers such as HTC and LG never lack dual SIM dual standby functions, not to mention local manufacturers such as Huawei and Xiaomi. Unconsciously, dual SIM dual standby has actually gotten rid of the hat of "only for copycat phones" a long time ago, and there is no pressure for flagship phones to use it. So today, accepting this function is not a very cheap thing. Why do we need dual SIM dual standby In the tide of the Android camp's vigorous support for dual SIM dual standby, we can also notice that most of them are aimed at the domestic market. In the early days, copycat phones were able to sweep the market. In addition to being very cheap, according to user feedback, dual SIM dual standby is a very important factor. Many people have more than one mobile phone number. The most common difference is between life number and work number. One phone number is only used for work and business contacts, while the other number is focused on contacting family and friends. This is the norm for many mobile phone users. After all, if you need to contact various customers frequently, it is also very troublesome to tie these things to your personal life. In addition, if you need to travel between two places, it is also necessary to hold two SIM cards in different provinces and cities. With the continuous popularization of smart phones and network technology, various services require you to bind them with your mobile phone number. If you are not sure about binding your important and frequently used mobile phone number with these messy things, you can use another number to complete these things. If the mobile phone has dual SIM dual standby function, you will not be affected when receiving verification codes and other information. It can be said that although the dual SIM dual standby function is of a relatively "low" origin, its demand is high. Although the rise of dual-SIM dual standby is mainly due to the strange phenomenon of severe division among operators in the early days of China, and people need to have multiple SIM cards from different operators to solve the tariff problem, when this situation has been greatly alleviated, consumers still need dual-SIM dual standby mobile phones because they are used to the benefits it can bring. It is not worthwhile and troublesome to buy a second mobile phone for these benefits, so dual-SIM dual standby is of course the best choice. Target: Chinese market First of all, it should be emphasized that Apple's application for these patents does not mean that it will really realize the things in those patents. Through the reports of Weiphone.com, everyone has seen too many "black technologies" that have disappeared until now. However, in the current situation, Apple may really start to consider these things. Cook has publicly emphasized more than once that the Chinese market is crucial. The decline of iPhone in the first two quarters is not only due to the significant extension of the cycle of consumers' replacement and upgrade, but also due to the saturation of many markets and the difficulty in continuing to expand new users. In this case, Apple has shown its willingness to turn to emerging markets such as China and India. Interestingly, the phenomenon of operator division in the Indian market is more serious, making dual-SIM dual standby mobile phones equally popular. If you want to pay more attention to these two somewhat similar markets, necessary "localization" is a matter of course. Judging from the financial report figures released by Apple, the company's revenue in Greater China has declined for two consecutive quarters, and analysts believe that Apple will face the dilemma of three consecutive declines. In India, Cook has been making frequent moves before, and local consumers have shown great enthusiasm for the new iPhone after the release of iPhone 7. "I want to thank those Apple fanatical fans because they set a new record after the release of iPhone 7. In India, we have never seen consumers so enthusiastic about a new phone." said a senior executive of Apple's local cooperative dealer. These facts are likely to stimulate Apple to continue to As a winner of Toutiao's Qingyun Plan and Baijiahao's Bai+ Plan, the 2019 Baidu Digital Author of the Year, the Baijiahao's Most Popular Author in the Technology Field, the 2019 Sogou Technology and Culture Author, and the 2021 Baijiahao Quarterly Influential Creator, he has won many awards, including the 2013 Sohu Best Industry Media Person, the 2015 China New Media Entrepreneurship Competition Beijing Third Place, the 2015 Guangmang Experience Award, the 2015 China New Media Entrepreneurship Competition Finals Third Place, and the 2018 Baidu Dynamic Annual Powerful Celebrity. |
