"Just now, Apple released their mobile phone IPhone, which is very similar to our mobile phone..."
A few days earlier than Baron's previous life, on January 5, Apple CEO Steve Jobs launched their latest mobile phone product, the iPhone, at the Macworld conference held at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, USA.
Ivanta, who had been following Apple's developments, immediately informed Barron of the news.
According to her description of the scene, Jobs personally unlocked the iPhone's lock screen with his finger during the press conference and demonstrated to everyone the operation of this touch-screen smartphone and its built-in iOS system.
At the same time, the configuration and parameters of this phone were also announced. Apple's first iPhone phone has a 3.5-inch LCD screen on the front, will be equipped with a Samsung S5L8900 chip and iOS operating system, and will be equipped with a 2-megapixel rear camera and a built-in 1030 mAh non-removable battery.
This phone will be officially launched at the end of June this year. The first iPhone phone only has one color. The upper part of its back is silver-gray and made of aluminum alloy, and the lower part is black and made of plastic...
It can be said that the launch of the iPhone this time, with its simple design, revolutionary interface and multi-touch operation, immediately shocked the industry.
But at this time, mobile phones were still dominated by feature phones. Although some mobile phones equipped with "smart operating systems" have been launched, brands such as Nokia and Motorola have their own mobile phone models with smart operating systems, and the touch screen control is not too sensitive so far. Even the iPhone 1 faces this situation. For many people who are accustomed to using physical keyboards to send text messages and emails, it takes time to accept this new product.
And before that, the impression of Apple in most people's minds was "a company that makes MP3 players."
When they entered the mobile phone industry, they were not favored by many people.
"Using the virtual keyboard to send text messages and emails is like using a rotary phone. Don't be surprised if someone regrets choosing an iPhone over a BlackBerry because they spend an extra hour typing on the road every day."
This was the comment made by a well-known American technology media after Apple released the iPhone.
"Are we ready?"
"Yes, our Android system and Honor Mate 1 phone are ready, having gone through numerous tests and optimizations. After that, we need to continue to improve through user use."
Hearing Ivanta's words on the phone, Barron nodded and said,
"Then we will hold a press conference in a week."
In fact, even though he had experienced this once in his previous life, Barron was still somewhat excited to experience this slightly different era again and know that a groundbreaking new product was about to come out.
After the two-day trip to China, Bonnie and Lord and Lady Bute flew back to London.
Barron, on the other hand, went directly to Los Angeles.
On January 10, the Warriors announced the completion of the transaction. Pioneer Sports Group bought the NBA team based in Oakland, California from the original owner Chris Cohen for US$350 million.
As we all know, Pioneer Sports Group owns the Premier League Manchester United Club and the F1 Group. Now, this sports company will add a new NBA team.
DS Holdings (Cavendish Trust) owns 60% of Pioneer Sports Group, so Barron, the Duke of England, is the owner of Pioneer Sports Group, which means he will become the first foreign owner of an NBA team.
Although Barron did not attend the press conference for the acquisition of the Warriors, it was attended by Cab Harbour, CEO of Pioneer Sports Group.
But after that, Barron went to the team, met with the coach and players of the team at that time, and gave them gifts - a latest model of Land Rover Range Rover for each person!
This generous move was directly reported in the news the next day... It can be regarded as an advertisement for Land Rover.
Baron said that after acquiring the Warriors, no changes will be made for the time being - the only thing that will change is that if they win, there will be more bonuses.
This also put the Warriors coaches and players at ease.
Barron also watched the game between the Warriors and the Magic on site. Although the Warriors lost the game with a score of 76-91, Barron still smiled throughout the game and encouraged the players after the game.
It can be said that in this game, not just during the breaks, but even during the game, many cameras were focused on the young British Duke in the audience. His handsomeness, elegance, and graceful manners would draw bursts of screams whenever he appeared on the big screen in the stadium.
Originally, Barron was not planning to appear here in such a high-profile manner, but what he is doing now is actually to gain a certain amount of attention for the upcoming Android operating system and Honor mobile phone.
Just like when he appeared, the reporter's camera captured Barron operating the mobile phone several times. After careful observation, it was found that it was a model different from all the mobile phones currently on the market - the most important thing is that Barron's operation of the mobile phone was obviously achieved by touching the screen, which reminded people of Apple's new iPhone that was just released a week ago and attracted the attention of many people.
However, after enlarging the photo, it is obvious that the phone in his hand is different from the iPhone displayed at Apple's conference.
This question was soon answered.
On January 12, Android, owned by IC Capital, held a press conference in Los Angeles.
There were many reporters present at this press conference - not entirely because of the invitation from IC Capital and Android, in fact, most of these reporters came for Barron.
It can be said that the initial reason why they came to this press conference was more out of a "gossip" mentality.
Because it was a press conference that IC Capital highly valued, Ivanta also sat in the audience of the press conference. Ivanta was originally known for being born in the TP family and having a father who was very good at hype.
But now, because of the impressive performance of IC Capital managed by Ivanta, this girl with beautiful appearance and extraordinary business talent has been regarded as one of the most outstanding representatives of America's "rich second generation". Such a beautiful woman who is a hot topic often attracts special attention.
What excited the reporters was that the person sitting next to Ivanta was the Duke of Devonshire, who had recently appeared frequently in reports because of his acquisition of the NBA team Warriors. Before the press conference began, the two of them, a handsome man and a beautiful woman, would whisper to each other from time to time and looked very well matched.
Even though they knew that the young Duke was already married and had children, many reporters couldn't help but ship him as a couple in the face of this situation.
Of course, the lenses aimed at the two people were constantly consuming film.
Time passed by, and soon, the lights in the venue dimmed. Everyone understood that this meant that the press conference was about to begin...
