Bad Impact for Apple, If WeChat is prohibited from operating by Trump

JAKARTA – President Donald Trump has signed an executive policy that will prohibit Chinese applications and companies from operating in the United States. TikTok and WeChat were the first targets of Trump’s policies.

Launch from Apple InsiderIn fact, enforcing the policy will indirectly have a negative impact on Apple’s business. Where there is a possibility that iPhone sales will decline by 25 to 30 percent, if the official WeChat instant messaging application is banned.

“Since WeChat is so important to Chinese users, integrating communication, payment, e-commerce, social software, news reading and productivity functions, we believe that the move will reduce iPhone shipments in the Chinese market,” said analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, Tuesday 11 August.

According to him, based on a survey of nearly 700,000 users in China said that they would not buy an iPhone if WeChat was not supported on the device. This will also have an impact on sales of iPhone accessories, such as AirPods, iPads, Apple Watch, and Mac computers that will also be dragged along.

Ming-Chi Kuo’s analysis is based on the worst-case scenario of prohibiting other Chinese companies from operating and doing business in the US. This means that Trump indirectly forces similar applications from China to leave the Apps Store.

“Apple removed WeChat from the App Store in India in response to the government’s request. Therefore, we would not be surprised if the US government later asked Apple to do the same,” he said.

Unfortunately, WeChat is not a popular app like TikTok that many US tech companies are currently looking for to acquire. Where Microsof and Twitter are trying to negotiate to own TikTok.

TikTok’s market share value is around US $ 30 billion, while TikTok’s value before President Trump’s ban was around US $ 50 billion. Meanwhile, Microsoft instead wants to target TikTok’s operations in the US, Canada and Australia with a bid in the range of $ 10-30 billion lower.

The appearance of the Planet Mars which is Green

JAKARTA – Mars is commonly known as the Red Planet. But it turns out that there is another side to the planet that makes Mars look green. Quoting from Scitechdaily , based on observations from NASA, Mars will look green at night. This is due to chemical reactions that occur on the surface of the Martian atmosphere. This phenomenon was detected from one of the MAVEN spacecraft, which orbits the planet Mars. Over the past few years, MAVEN has made observations in the ultraviolet spectrum and the result is that the Martian night sky is a greenish color. “The MAVEN images offer our first global insight into the motion of the atmosphere in the central atmosphere of Mars, the critical region where air flows carry gas between the lowest and highest layers of the atmosphere,” said University of Colorado (LASP) researcher from the Laboratory of Atmospheric and Space Physics (LASP), Nick Schneider.
