Apple faces challenges that have weighed on Apple stock, including slowing iPhone sales and lack of a strategy for artificial intelligence.
Apple has launched an aggressive discounting campaign in China, where it faces increasing competition from local rivals such as Huawei.
台灣傳媒報道,蘋果營運總監威廉斯(Jeff Williams)近日低調到台灣訪問台積電,獲台積電總裁魏哲家親自接待。雙方討論了蘋果自研人工智能(AI)晶片,以及蘋果將包下台積電先進製程產能等事宜。報道指,蘋果用在iPhone的A系列處理器已與台積電合作多年,近年亦啟動Apple silicon長期計劃,打造用於MacBook、iPad的M系列處理器,關鍵推手就是威廉斯,因此今次的訪問引起業界關注。分析指,蘋果此前已包下台積電3納米首批產能,若後續預定2納米以至更先進製程的首批產能,預估蘋果貢獻台積電年營收產值,將有機會於今年達到6000億元新台幣,創新高。 (ST)#蘋果 #台積電 #美股
