Blockbuster move, Apple is going to merge with open AI. The next iPhone, the Apple 16, will be equipped with open AI's latest large model, ChatGPT40. If so, the two strongest companies in the world will achieve a strong alliance and achieve deep binding, so will other brands of mobile phones still have to play? Is there still room for the market? Can they even live? In this way, the global mobile phone market will change greatly, and the market pattern will undergo major changes.
Today, open AI announced another blockbuster good news at its spring conference. That's ChatGPT upgraded again. open AI has iterated on the basis of GPT-4 and upgraded the latest version, GPT-4o. According to the press conference, GPT-4o is twice as fast as the previous generation and is more user-friendly, including the ability to implement features such as voice arousal, real-time dialogue, and most importantly, the new GPT-4o will be free to use without registration. This is really great news for countless people who want to use GPT to help improve their learning efficiency.
And the important good news is that Apple, the world's largest consumer electronics company, is already talking about a partnership with open AI. Apple is expected to officially announce its partnership with OpenAI at the WWDC conference on June 10 and launch an AI chatbot based on Apple's LLM. At the same time, Apple's next-generation mobile phone, the Apple 16, will also be combined with GPT.
This means that the world's largest consumer electronics companies will achieve a real cooperation with the world's most advanced artificial intelligence companies, and achieve a real strong combination. This is bound to have a profound and significant impact on the global smartphone landscape. Will Apple really achieve the result of being one dominant in the world and one eating alone? It's really, very likely.
As we all know, with the rise of artificial intelligence, many mobile phones have now begun to use AI mobile phones as the core of the fist in the future. All mobile phone brands are riveting their own AI mobile phones, for fear of missing out on the future market. So at this time, Apple chose to cooperate with OpenAI, which has a very deep practical basis. At present, Apple, as the world's largest consumer electronics company, has a market value of nearly 3 trillion US dollars, equivalent to more than 20 trillion yuan.
If such a large company wants to continue to achieve take-off in stock prices and expand its market value in the future, it must find new profit growth points. What's more, due to the impact of the emergence of high-end smartphones such as Huawei, Apple's sales in China have declined significantly, and it can even be said to have plummeted.
According to the latest public statistics, Apple's mobile phone sales in China plummeted by 19% in the first quarter, and even fell to third place. Moreover, affected by fierce competition, Apple has recently opened a rare price reduction for a number of mobile phones and other smart electronic products, in order to save the declining market. So at this time, it is the times that Apple wants to cooperate with OpenAI.
So why is OpenAI willing to work with Apple as well? Personally, I think OpenAI should have taken a fancy to Apple's current market position and its end-side application permissions and system-level permissions. As we all know, Apple, as the largest consumer electronics company at present, is a model for the market to emulate, whether it is mobile phones, computers and other wearable products, and it occupies a pivotal position in the world. And Apple's self-developed system is also difficult for other consumer electronics brands to match. This should be the reason why OpenAI is willing to cooperate with Apple.
Although this news has not been officially announced by Apple, it is estimated that many mobile phone brands have begun to tremble.
