Less is just less

阅读更多

2011年,苹果公司在乔布斯老爷子的带领下,推出了一款划时代的产品,iphone4。 它与之前的所有手机都是如此的不同,极致简约,功能强大,符合每个人对完美手机的梦想。

 

至此整个移动行业被重新洗牌。而移动互联网的时代,也正式宣告到来。

移动端的互联网是如此的不同,以至于业界将其拆分为独立领域,与传统的互联网分庭抗礼,各占半壁江山。

仅仅过去五年,你已经很难再看到一身职业装,端坐在星巴克里,用着苹果笔记本,一副临危正襟,其实在逛淘宝的装逼犯了。如今每一个人都低着头,紧紧的盯着手机,手指不断刷来刷去。

移动互联网时代的到来,催生了一大批籍此而兴旺起来的新兴公司。这些公司大多是些初创公司,凭借着某个天才般的创意,从天使投资人那里得到一笔启动资金,不断的向某个应用中烧钱,积累用户数,并期望着某一天,能够开始盈利。
 
过去的几年中,各种应用APP大行其道,你方唱罢我登场。早些年的有QQ,愤怒的小鸟,植物大战僵尸。这些年更有像微信这样的巨头,又或者是魔漫相机,足记这样的小众应用。

这些互联网公司信奉着乔布斯老爷子的哲学,崇尚极简风格,并将“Less is Better”奉为圭臬。

在移动互联网这样的一个时代里,站点的作用被彻底的忽略,这是一个APP的战场,无论你的主营业务是搜索引擎,社交网络,又或是网上商城,对不起,你都首先必须是一个APP。移动端不相信网站,APP才是王道。

移动互联网的另一大特征则是流量敏感度,这一点主要是由于移动网络的发展跟不上时代的潮流,但相信在不久的将来,这个问题会被解决掉。
 
这些小疾隐患,并没有影响到移动互联网行业的蒸蒸日上。它像新时代的朝阳一般,光芒闪耀,众生臣服。
 
但渐渐的,有一些端倪显现出来,犹如这万丈光芒中,一块小小的阴影。可即使是移动互联网最忠诚的鼓吹者,却也无法忽视这块阴影的影响力。
 
首先是山寨的问题,无论是哪种新兴APP,一旦吸引了足够的关注度,似乎都无法逃脱被山寨模仿,最终泯然于众人的厄运。这一点固然有中国知识产权保护不够的原因,但更大程度上是因为这些新兴的APP都源自一个新的创意而诞生,然而过于简单的实现,使得任意一家小作坊,都能够在短期内全盘拷贝过来。也就是说,缺乏一种所谓的“技术壁垒”。

同时,令人眼花缭乱的APP的出现,也使得用户完全失去了品牌忠诚度。如果我们来看两款热门的音乐APP,实在是无法辨别其间的差别,使用起来也全无二致。用户随意的选择其中的一款,并非是因为喜欢或是偏好,而仅仅是随意的选择。如果将来有新的APP加入这场竞争,用户只怕是为了新鲜感,也会毫不犹豫的抛弃老旧的应用。这种现象在互联网产业并不多见,刷B站的用户很难会喜欢上外观中庸的搜狐视频,同样的,搜狐视频的用户也很难忍受B站的卖萌风格。可是到了移动客户端,这种差异化的风格被“Less is Better”的设计思想抹杀殆尽。用户也彻底失去了对品牌的忠诚度。

我们必须再次回到“Less is Better”这句话上来,如果说Less真的是Better的话,为什么当年崇尚极简风格的iMac会被windows电脑打得满地找牙,至今都无法翻身呢?
 
手机的电话功能决定了它的屏幕不会太大,其实现在Iphone6的尺寸已经是很大了,而6P的就显得有点过分。而屏幕的大小,看似无所谓,其实决定了很多应用的生死。小屏幕使得每次显示的内容不能太多,太多用户便会失去焦点。同时没有人会愿意用手指头很艰难的去戳那些小得无法选中的按钮。在这样的情况下,Less is Better被发挥到了极致,许多应用都是以极简风格取胜。

手机屏幕不能够太大的另一个原因是,电池技术的落后。

如果让用户选出对智能手机最不满意的方面,电池的续航能力绝对能够排进前三。手机电池的孱弱,也使得智能手机用户都变成“爱家的孩子” – 每天晚上都要回家充电。智能手机的功能也因此受到极大的限制,性能更强劲的CPU因为耗电量过高而无法使用。

如果将这些移动端设备的这些特点归纳起来的话,我们会发现,其所受的制约可以归结于这两个原因:
•     不能省略的电话功能
•     电池技术有待提高
 
移动端设备的几大特征,小屏幕,流量重视度,不能省略的电话功能以及孱弱的电池续航能力,才是造就Less is Better神话的根本原因。也使得乔布斯这个在电脑时代完败的文艺青年,成功登顶“改变世界的人”的重要因素。如果不是这些原因,iPhone也只能算是一个略文艺小资的手机产品,在一群小众人群中,被用来在星巴克装逼用,而不会被认为“改变了世界”。

Less is just Less, Better is Better。Less跟Better之间,并无直接联系。
 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Apple watch的出现,代表了移动互联网的一次改变。

拥有了Apple Watch 和iPhone这样的“子母机”搭配的形式,手机本身便不再需要具备打电话的功能,而是由watch这样的子机来负责打电话或者是收通知。这让手机本身解放了出来,它的尺寸可以变得更大,甚至超过ipad。同时依然保持轻薄,放在包包里也不会觉得重。这一点minipad早已证明。

我相信在不久的将来,手机也不会在需要担心流量的问题。这已经是一个很明显的趋势了,无需赘述,任何人都能看到。

然后就是电池技术的革新了,全世界都在静静等待着这样的一个新发明的到来,能够带来电池技术巨大创新的人,才真正配得到“改变世界的人”这样的称谓。

到那时,手机拥有了跟笔记本电脑一样大的屏幕,却依然方便携带。大家再也不需要担心流量问题,可以一次刷个够。电池技术也得到了长足的发展,一个星期充一次电不再是梦。

到了那个时代,你还相信所谓的Less is Better么?
