Just as adolescent boys speculate on the minds of girls, Apple's car-making plan has been hanging the appetite of the majority of fans for several years. To make or not to build? To what extent? It's still confusing.
However, considering the Internet car-making fever in recent years, perhaps no one is more in line with the logic of cross-border than Apple, which has a perfect ecosystem. Moreover, in the case of Tesla and a number of new forces, we deeply understand that new cars need to have cash flow, which does not seem to be too much pressure for Apple.
In fact, last year, it was revealed that Apple will officially announce the construction of the car in the second half of this year, and then expect to release the first model within three years, and once there was news that Apple will use the pure electric platform of Modern Motors, and the latter will produce it for its OEM, and the battery will be released, and the battery is expected to use the battery cell produced by LG Chemical. Considering that Apple cooperates closely with Korean companies in the field of mobile phones, the whole thing sounds like it does have a certain logic and truth.
However, a well-known commentator suddenly revealed that Apple disbanded its car-making team. And said that in the future, if Apple still has car-making plans, it will be postponed at least until after 2028.
Apple did not comment on this news, but through the understanding of all parties, the credibility of this news is still debatable. On the one hand, some people said that they have just jumped from LG North America to Apple's car division, and there is currently no wind inside the company. On the other hand, Apple continues to invest in aspects including unmanned driving and car and machine ecology, which has cost a huge amount of time and money.
Therefore, the author tends to think that Apple will delay the release time of the first model at most, rather than completely cancel the project, just as Apple did not enter the mobile phone industry in the era of feature phones, but waited until the iPhone was completely polished to subvert the industry products, and then chose to make it public. And at present, smart electric vehicles are still a hot investment area, and Baili is harmless to Apple's expansion of ecological business.
Although Apple's "top pillar" Jobs has been gone for a long time, it is still the most creative and disruptive company in the world, and in any case, its long-conceived smart electric vehicles are worth looking forward to.
