Ren Zeping bombarded Apple six times in nine days, and netizens roast: Don't get hot

Apple releases its new machine every year in September. After the press conference, it will attract attention from all walks of life. As the saying goes, "people are popular, right and wrong." Apple has taken the No. 1 position in the industry in recent years, making many people "jealous." Ren Zeping, a famous economist in China, has bombarded Apple nine times in succession this month. He believes that fruit fans are pure "leeks"! Come and have a look!

On September 28, Ren Zeping, an economist, once again issued a public article, denouncing Apple. He said that the so-called high-end pro version is just a special machine for cutting "high-end" leeks. There are so many mindless idols in China. It's time for fans to wake up and stop being ridiculed as "high-end" leeks. It is worth noting that this is the sixth time that Ren Zeping has shelled Apple in nine days.

Specific messages

Ren Zeping said that before 2018, the average premium of iPhone in China and the United States market excluding taxes (official website price minus its marked VAT and other taxes) was 300 yuan for entry-level models and 600 yuan for high-end models. Since 2019, it may be that we have felt the challenge of domestic brands, and there is zero or negative premium for the entry model of Apple mobile phones. The entry-level iPhone 14 has become the worst selling mobile phone in history due to its poor cost performance or no advantage over domestic mobile phones.

Ren Zeping also said that the full range premium before 2018 and high-end premium after 2018 are essentially the pricing strategy of price discrimination adopted by Apple on the Chinese market, but the target of price discrimination has shifted from all buyers to those who buy high-end models of fruit powder, and these loyal fruit powder are precisely cut into "high-end" leeks. To put it simply, the premium of entry-level models has decreased significantly because of the rise of domestic mobile phones, but the high-end models still maintain high premium price discrimination, because the low-end chives can not be cut, and only "high-end" chives can be cut. The so-called high-end Pro version is just a special machine for cutting "high-end" chives.

Ren Zeping finally said: With the quality improvement of Huawei, Glory, Xiaomi and other domestic brands, the cost performance ratio is higher, and the new generation of young people are more confident. The era of Apple collecting "high-end" IQ tax should end, and consumers in these regions should be more respected.

Economist Ren Zeping's repeated roast about Apple did not have much impact. After all, Apple's sales were there. If Apple's mobile phone really failed, it would certainly not be accepted by users. Ren Zeping's behavior can only be regarded as a one-man show.
