In addition, Guo Mingxi also mentioned in the news that Apple will launch a new Mac Pro and iMac Pro in 2023.

South Korean companies provided substrates for Apple Car
Not long ago, the news from the industrial chain said that Apple's future Apple Car smart car is likely to be responsible for OEM by Foxconn and Luxun Precision, and the news mentioned that these two companies, even if they cannot become apple Car foundries, will also play an important role in the manufacturing process of the car.
Now, there is the latest news that Apple is discussing the supply of FC-BGA substrates for apple car applications with a South Korean company. The South Korean company has exchanged FC-BGA samples with Apple Car developers and passed preliminary quality tests.
South Korean media said that the FC-BGA substrate is one of the key materials needed to manufacture self-driving cars, and the reason why Apple chose the substrate manufacturer before other parts manufacturers is because of the shortage of substrates! In addition, the news also mentioned that Japanese and Taiwanese companies produce FC-BGA substrates earlier than Korean companies, and their share is higher than that of Korean companies. But Apple has given the South Korean company a high score for its fast technology development and fast delivery speed. Apple believes that the Korean company is more competitive in other high value-added substrate fields, so it can quickly gain international competitiveness in the FC-BGA substrate field. According to the previous content, Apple is expected to release the Apple Car smart car as soon as 2024, so the question is, do you think the emergence of the Apple Car will once again trigger a big change in the automotive industry like the iPhone in that year? Welcome to put your point of view on the public screen!

However, it needs to be explained that a mobile phone from the patent to the mass production and listing, is still a long process, coupled with Huawei's current special situation, when the machine can be listed, but also really to play a big question mark, pay attention to it!
