【题目】 The iPhone has been called a magical product because of its success over the years. However, now the iPhone seems to have lost its attraction.

Tim Cook, CEO of Apple, said in a recent letter that the company expected a revenue(收入)of $84 billion for the first fiscal quarter(财政季度)of 2019. It was much lower than the earliest expectation of between $89 billion and $93 billion. That was the first time that Apple had seen its revenue expectation fall in almost twenty years.

Cook explained that the fall was mainly because of the less growing need in China.

However, people believe that Apple itself is mainly responsible(有责任的)for the fall. Gene Munster told CNN that “one-third of the problem” comes from the company’s move to suddenly increase the price.

This has made people less willing to change the latest iPhones. For example, iPhone Xs Max, one of the company’s latest smartphones, costs $1450 in the US, and costs much more in other countries, including many developing countries, reported Forbes.

Apple has also failed to introduce features that excite people in a forward-thinking technology market, reported CNBC.

Meanwhile, Apple also faces challenges from smartphone makers in China such as Huawei and Xiaomi, which have introduced less expensive but still quality smartphones.

For example, in 2018, Huawei introduced a triple-lens camera(三摄镜头)on its P20 Pro. The triple-lens camera is a popular feature that the iPhone doesn’t have, according to CNBC.

“In the past few years, the technology in Apple’s phones has not had any big improvements, while the technology in smartphones made in China has got better and better ,” Feng Yin, a 32-year-old engineer in China, told The New York Times. “The difference is getting smaller.”

Not the iPhone it 1 to be.

Problems of Apple

The iPhone seems to have lost its charm.

The revenue was much lower than the expectation.

2 for the fall

People in China aren’t 3 about iPhone any more.

The latest iPhones are much more 4 than earlier ones.

The latest iPhones don’t have any really new features which make people5.

Smartphone makers in China such as Huawei and Xiaomi have introduced cheaper but quality smartphones.

【题目】 Hi, I’m John Donald, on the Voice of America.

We are checking out the top three songs in the Billboard chart(美国单曲排行榜)ending this week.

The third place goes to One Republic with “Counting Stars”. This song has already hit number one in the United Kingdom. But how high has One Republic risen in its US homeland? Well, they haven’t had a US number one single yet. Back in 2007, their first single “Apologize” reached the second place, while hitting number one in more than a dozen countries.

The second place comes Lorde with another former(以前的)title-holder(冠军保持者), “Royals”.

Up at number one is a famous partner Eminem and Rihanna with “The Monster”. How many times have they worked together? If you said twice, you’re wrong. This is their fourth.
