Hey there, tech fans! Guess what? Alibaba and Apple are teaming up to make iPhones in the Chinese mainland even smarter! 🤩
On Thursday, Alibaba’s Chairman, Joe Tsai, announced that they will work with Apple to add powerful AI features to iPhones sold in the Chinese mainland. This exciting news made Alibaba’s shares in Hong Kong jump over 9%! 📈
At the World Government Summit in Dubai, Tsai said, “They talked to a number of companies in China. In the end, they chose to do business with us. They want to use our AI to power their phones. We feel extremely honored to do business with a great company like Apple.”
But why is this a big deal? Well, Apple has been facing tough competition in China from local smartphone makers like Huawei and Vivo. These companies offer phones with cool AI features that help with things like taking better photos or using voice assistants more effectively. Apple’s iPhone sales in China have been going down because they didn’t have these advanced AI features. 😕
Now, with Alibaba’s help, Apple hopes to make iPhones more attractive to people in China by adding awesome AI abilities! This could help them win back customers and boost their sales. 🎉
Did you know? Alibaba has been working hard on AI technology. Earlier this year, they released a new AI model called Qwen 2.5, which is even better than some other famous AI models! Investors are super excited about this, and Alibaba’s stock price has gone up over 40% this year. 🚀
It’s amazing to see how companies are using AI to make our gadgets smarter and more fun to use. What AI features would you like to see on your phone? Let us know! 💬
