The news that Apple wants to cooperate with a number of South Korean companies has been reported as early as last year. A few months ago, it was reported that Apple was negotiating with several South Korean electric vehicle component manufacturers and discussing the supply of electric vehicle batteries with LGEnergy Solution and SKOn. Recently, according to industry insiders, Apple intends to make an equity investment in a South Korean auto parts manufacturer, and Apple asked the company to double its production capacity. In addition to this, Apple has also held discussions with a number of other companies through online meetings.
It is worth mentioning that recently there are foreign media reports that Apple has found a Japanese vehicle air-conditioning company Sandian in 2020 to seek help, and provided the drawings of electric vehicles to Sandian. For now, the Apple Car project is not easy to find partners, and Apple may be looking for partners in the parts supply chain on which its iPhone manufacturing relies.
Regarding the progress of Apple's car-making project, at the end of 2021, there was news that Apple is accelerating the research and development progress of electric vehicles, and Apple cars may be officially unveiled in 2025.
