xinhua news agency, new york, september 12 (reporter tan jingjing) this week, apple and huawei held new product launch conferences and launched their latest innovative products. the "collision" of new products by the two high-tech companies in china and the united states has attracted much attention from the technology community and international media, and the innovation capabilities of chinese technology companies have sparked heated discussions.
apple launched new products such as the iphone 16 series smartphones and apple watch. huawei released the world's first three-fold screen mobile phone, achieving multiple technological breakthroughs in hinge system and screen bending. some media compared the development status and new products of the two companies in their reports.
on september 10, huawei released the new mate xt series. photo by xinhua news agency reporter liang xuthe us financial website quartz wrote that huawei has outperformed apple in the chinese market since the release of the mate 60 pro series of smartphones in august last year. in april this year, huawei released a report saying that its profits had grown for the fourth consecutive quarter, highlighting huawei's resilience under us sanctions and suppression.
"on the other hand, apple's iphone sales fell 19% during the same period, which was apple's worst performance in the chinese market since the 2020 coronavirus pandemic. in the first quarter of this year, apple's share of the chinese smartphone market fell from 19.7% to 15.7%. faced with fierce competition from huawei and other chinese smartphone manufacturers, apple has had to lower the prices of some models in the chinese market," the report said.
people experience new products after the apple new product launch held in cupertino, california, the united states on september 9. xinhua news agency (photo by dong xudong)cnbc reported that huawei, which suffered a heavy blow after the united states imposed sanctions on chinese technology companies in 2019, has now made a strong comeback in the smartphone field. huawei and other chinese smartphone companies are already selling foldable screen phones, while apple has not yet entered this field.
amber liu, research manager at canalis consulting, a well-known technology market analysis company, told the media that the similar release time of huawei and apple's new products marks the beginning of a new wave of competition in china's high-end market. key areas of competition will include high-end products, software functions and artificial intelligence deployment. huawei's rapid recovery "directly challenges" apple's performance in the chinese market. china is apple's second largest market in the world, accounting for more than 20% of its global shipments.
data released by canalis consulting company shows that in the second quarter of this year, apple's shipments in the chinese market were squeezed out of the top five, ranking sixth. for the first time, the top five places were occupied by chinese domestic mobile phone brands.
the american online company america online (aol) wrote an article titled "apple's chinese competitor huawei stole the limelight from the iphone 16" and said that every autumn when apple releases a new iphone, it is the absolute overlord in the smartphone field. however, this year, huawei, one of its biggest competitors in china, is working hard to "rewrite the script."
cnn reported that the previous restrictions imposed by the united states dealt a heavy blow to huawei's smartphone development at the time, but now huawei has "returned to the top" again and is also entering new businesses. last year, huawei launched an electric car that competes with tesla's model s. huawei also has great ambitions in the development of artificial intelligence.
the latest products released by the two chinese and american companies have also attracted comments from some media and industry insiders. the indian news website "business today" wrote that although apple's iphone 16 series has some improvements, it has not introduced any major changes compared with the previous generation. in contrast, huawei's new folding screen mobile phone offers a breakthrough design and many high-tech features. huawei has always attached great importance to the folding screen mobile phone market, and the new products released this time have further consolidated its position.
reuters reported that apple's latest iphone 16 failed to excite investors because the long-awaited artificial intelligence features in the new product are still in testing mode. huawei launched the industry's first three-fold screen mobile phone, continuing to increase its stakes in the fight for dominance in the global smartphone market.
technology.org, a technology news website, wrote that the rise of foldable screen phones reflects consumers' higher expectations for more flexible smartphone displays and more novel appearances. huawei's triple-folding screen phone mate xt and other devices demonstrate the integration of function and aesthetics, which is the future development direction of smartphone design. at the same time, the deep integration of artificial intelligence technology is also an important trend in the future innovation of smartphone technology. the leading artificial intelligence technology embodied in mate xt can not only enhance the user experience, but also transform the interaction between users and artificial intelligence technology.
