As the release of HarmonyOS NEXT is approaching, all kinds of HarmonyOS-related news are also overwhelming.
But there are only two that can prove that Hongmeng has really succeeded!
One: HarmonyOS officially surpassed Apple's iOS system
According to the latest data released by Counterpoint, a research data research institution, HarmonyOS has doubled its share of the global smartphone operating system from 2% to 4%; Apple's iOS system has declined significantly globally due to new features, especially the lack of AI features; From 23% in the previous quarter (Q4 2023), it slipped to 19%.
Relative to the domestic market, HarmonyOS increased its market share by 1% compared to the previous quarter (Q4 2023); from 16% to 17%.
This is also the first time that Huawei's HarmonyOS system has surpassed Apple's iOS in China (Q1 2024), and it is also the first domestic operating system to surpass Apple.
The other is that Hongmeng is ready to start charging!
We know that there are only two mobile operating systems in the world that really have commercial value - Apple's iOS and Google's Android. Both of them have made a lot of money through the way of pumping apps in the operating system ecosystem.
Especially Apple, according to the latest data, Apple's App Store's global revenue in 2023 will reach a staggering 22.34 billion US dollars, equivalent to about 160.8 billion yuan, of which the Chinese market will contribute more than 40 billion yuan.
But now Apple's good days in China seem to be coming to an end, and according to the latest Bloomberg update, Huawei is considering taking a cut of in-app purchases for its HarmonyOS mobile operating system, and according to people familiar with the matter, Huawei is in talks with game developers for a 20% commission.
According to Huawei's rotating chairman Xu Zhijun at the analyst conference in April this year, as of April, more than 4,000 applications have been clearly migrated, and less than 1,000 applications are being communicated.
On the other hand, it is said that Huawei's pure-blooded HarmonyOS system is officially ready and is about to be released finally; Commercialization is catching up immediately, which shows Huawei's growing confidence and determination in Apple and Android.
Judging from the fact that in the first quarter of this year, Huawei's net profit soared by 564%, and Apple's iOS system took 40 billion in China a year, Hongmeng's commercial value is immeasurable.
This is the real rise of the domestic operating system, and it is also the only domestic operating system that truly has commercial value!
