My Apple Story
$Apple (AAPL.US)$In 2006, I was in my senior year of high school and finally got my own mobile phone, a certain black and white Nokia model, which was probably already out of production at that time and was passed on to me by my mother. Not much else changed, still listening to 128m mp3s, still liking that girl from the humanities class. That year, I finally saved enough money to buy a CD player, but I no longer wanted to buy a CD player. Several people in my grade had iPods, holding them, wearing earphones, nodding and humming along, which was a trend at that time. And this trend was hard for her to resist, after all, it was the most popular and powerful music device.
I took out all my savings and bought a 30G iPod classic at the Beijing Electronic Zone High-Tech Group in the village. At that time, apple stores were everywhere in the village. I packed the device and accessories in a large mooncake box, took out the mooncakes inside and finished them, then closed the box and secretly placed it under her desk on a dark and windy night. The next day was her 18th birthday.
In 2007, I entered my freshman year of college. During the summer vacation of my senior year of high school, a close aunt from our family gave me an 8G iPod nano as a gift for getting into college. I had long forgotten which generation it was, but I was happy for a long time because I finally had my own iPod. That year, Nokia was leading the way in the mobile phone industry. My dad gave me the most sought-after machine, the Nokia N73. And so, with the N73 in my left hand and the iPod in my right, I proudly arrived in Chengdu. I heard that in the USA, many people were lining up to buy a new apple phone called the iPhone, and at that time, I didn't understand people's behavior - apple makes mp3 players and phones? Can apple phones be reliable? I looked at my N73 with a sneer. In today's terms, it's called showing off, perhaps.
In 2008, I was a sophomore. My best buddy changed his phone, also given by his parents not because it was old, but because they didn't know how to use it. The phone was called the iPhone 3G. By then, I had also changed my phone, as the indestructible N73 had been damaged by me. I chose another Nokia flagship, the N95, still listening to the same old iPod nano, which was already covered in scars. Playing with my buddy's iPhone, I thought, this thing is really handy. I had seen touch screen phones before, but never one this smooth and comfortable to use, that's what they call user experience, isn't it?
In 2009, I was a senior. I fell for a cute and sweet microelectronics girl. That year, my nano passed away, and that year I began to invest in stocks. I used the money earned from stocks to buy an iPod touch, which was still considered a rare item at the time. I couldn't put it down, even though the main function was still to listen to music. It was still filled with popular songs, and music for me was still the background for sleeping and traveling, and I still didn't have the ability to appreciate music. It seems that this thing is just talent, can't be forced.
In 2010, in the second semester of my junior year, I learned early on that Apple had released a tablet computer. I quickly searched online and concluded that it was basically a larger version of the iPod Touch. Since I already had a Touch, I definitely wouldn't buy this thing, what a waste! I made this judgment right away. At that time, I was also fond of a girl majoring in microelectronics. She was preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination and studied in the library every day. So, I went to the library every day without any intention of taking the exam, just to chat with a group of people who were preparing for the exam. Looking back now, it seems a little unethical. In May, the iPad was released in China at an affordable price. I went to the Suning store on Chunxi Road with the mentality of just taking a look and getting a feel for it. It's easy to guess what happened next - I bought the 16GB version of the iPad for a little over five thousand yuan and brought it back to school. Apple products, like that girl majoring in microelectronics, are something you want to have as soon as you see them. It's an irresistible beauty.
In 2011, I was in my senior year. After my N95 broke, I immediately switched to the iPhone 4, which everyone was using. Nokia had long faded from people's sight, and although Android was emerging, its touch experience couldn't compare to iOS. That year, I found a job that I was relatively satisfied with, although that wasn't the thing that made me the happiest. It was during winter break when I was interning at the company and that girl majoring in microelectronics was in a remote county in Sichuan. The day before, I bought a sixth-generation iPod Nano from the Apple Store in Sanlitun, which redefined the Nano. The next day, I took a flight at six in the morning to Chongqing. After a bumpy ride on a long-distance bus, I delivered the Nano and the words "Happy Birthday" into her hands, and then rushed back like a shooting star, arriving in Beijing in the early morning.
Fate is like the turning wheel that Apple amazed the world with back then. Without the instant success and joy, there wouldn't be the subsequent pain of loss. Fortunately, all of that is finally over, and now I, like Apple after losing Steve Jobs, am embarking on a new journey.
Apple Inc., an American IT company, is changing people's lives with one new product after another. At least it has made my life trajectory somewhat different, somewhat more exciting. And behind all of this is the helmsman, Steve Jobs, who could conquer outdated thinking but couldn't conquer the merciless disease. However, regardless of everything, he had an eventful and truly remarkable life. In one's life, regardless of what happens, the value lies in the extraordinary process rather than the perfect outcome. The Apple myth may come to an end someday, and maybe Apple's stock price will plummet or even one day go out of business, but I will say to my grandson that there once was a great man who led a great company and changed the entire world with innovation, including your grandfather's history of picking up girls. $Apple (AAPL.US)$
