Attack quickly backfire, though, mocked the increasingly sophisticated Chinese consumers, who fear of apple and its products. State media also inadvertently recovery complaints over shoddy service company in China.
But the apple CEO Tim Cook (Tim Cook) response and apology.
"We have recognized, through this process, because of our communication, some feel that the attitude of the apple is arrogant, we don't care about or feedback from the consumer's values," cook Chinese, 'the statement said the ap due to translation. "To the attention of consumer and misunderstanding, our sincere apologies."
Although apple company enjoys the support from the Chinese consumers, in the fierce attack and of the importance of the Chinese market seems to have convinced the company appears contrite.
The People's Daily newspaper ran an editorial on Wednesday the title is "down with apple's unparalleled arrogance."
"We have the advantage of western people here, sneak in," the paper wrote. "If there is no sin against the risk of Chinese consumers, it also makes the lower management cost, so, why not?"
Chinese observers accused of hypocrisy and points out the value of the People's Daily, when Chinese enterprises for food safety and pollution associated with other scandals, the newspaper has been silent stone. At the same time, the China central television (CCTV) humiliation, it hired a explosion of celebrity, apple's China's version of Twitter, has been regarded as a grassroots movement.
