Apple Design Called 'Obsolete' by CEO of Chinese Company

Maybe you might think that the latest iPhone announced, the SE, is not a big news because it is a combination of the latest "S" models from Apple. Nonetheless, we cannot deny that Ma has a major influence on the technology market precisely because of its constantly presented designs and new technologies. But, it seems, it is not everyone who shares this thought; on the contrary, it will always appear haters people to call attention criticize her.

So it was with the CEO of LeEco, Jia Yueting, who judged Apple's design to be "out of date" and "obsolete" to the Chinese market.

The LeEco company called LeTV is considered the "Chinese Netflix" and for some time has also been investing in hardware such as smartphones, TVs, bicycles and now electric cars. Even though we don't know it well, it is a very famous company in China, worth around $ 4.8 billion. At a meeting of the “China Entrepreneur Club” (something like “China Entrepreneurs Club”), Yueting explained why he doesn't care about a competition with Apple in the Chinese market: “We think the difference between us and Apple is quite large. Apple is a mobile phone company focused on hardware and software. LeShi (another name for LeEco) focused primarily on the internet, then software, and finally hardware. ”

Referring more directly to what Ma has been launching, he said: “As Apple is a leader in the industry, it should develop more innovative products. The iPhone was a leader five years after its launch in 2008, but it's now outdated. ”This statement is somewhat ironic if we look at the latest LeEco smartphone releases Le 2, Le 2 Pro and Le Max 2 who (amazed) have no headphone jack. Not to mention, of course, the "originality" present in their designs.

As if that were not enough, the CEO of LeEco said that Apple is "losing its strength" in China and that both its products and ideas are out of date. He explains: “We believe that the next generation of mobile internet will be more open, more ecosystem driven, rather than closed. Ironically, Apple's dominance, its disregard for the internet, and the closed nature of its systems all prevent innovation in the mobile internet industry. ”Speaking of the launch of the iPhone SE, he stated that“ something that simply isn't should have been done ”(any account to him that, only in the pre-sale, were sold 3.4 million units in his country?).

Jia's political opinions were aired by CNBC in his first international interview, shortly after launching LeSEE, his self-managing electric car. By incorporating movies, series and music for passenger entertainment, it is intended to be on a par with Tesla's Model X.

You may not remember, but it is not the first time the company has caused a stir in the media. Even when it was just LeTV and about to launch her first smartphone, she ran an ad beyond that (not to say offensive) putting Ma as a representation of Nazism. While apologizing, this move has caught the eye of the world media, and it seems that the CEO is using a similar maneuver to draw attention. About these unfounded comments, we just make our own, the words of Michael Simmons:

Apple is outdated says the guy wearing gray sneakers, black long sleeve shirt and jeans.
