Apple Stock News: Advanced AI Memory
Apple Stock News: Apple is exploring the possibility of implementing Mobile HBM technology to improve performance and artificial intelligence capabilities in future iPhone models marking the device’s 20th anniversary. Mobile HBM provides high-speed data transfer and low power consumption, making it promising for mobile devices. The company is negotiating with memory suppliers such as Samsung and SK hynix, who are developing their own versions of Mobile HBM. However, adopting this technology comes with several challenges, including high manufacturing costs and heat dissipation issues. If Apple decides to use Mobile HBM, it will become another example of the innovations planned for the iPhone anniversary.
Mind-Control Support
Apple plans to introduce brain-controlled device operation technology by late 2025. This will be implemented through a partnership with Synchron, developers of the implanted brain-computer interface called Stentrode. The device enables users with severe mobility impairments to control Apple gadgets using mental commands. The implant is placed inside a blood vessel over the brain’s motor cortex and transmits signals converted into digital commands. Testing demonstrated the effectiveness of the interface, although interaction speed is lower compared to traditional input methods. The technology integrates into Apple’s existing accessibility system, Switch Control.
Shipment Crash
Shipments of foreign smartphone brands led by Apple sharply decreased in China in March 2025, falling by 49.6% compared to the same period last year. Apple’s market share shrank to about 8%, while domestic Chinese brands now dominate nearly 92% of the market. In Q1, foreign brand shipments fell by over 25%, whereas overall smartphone shipments grew by 3.3%. Among Chinese manufacturers, Huawei leads with a 19.4% share, followed by Vivo, Xiaomi, and Oppo. Reasons behind Apple’s decline include intense competition from local firms, government subsidy policies, and slow adoption of AI technologies. To stimulate sales, Apple is reducing prices before the “618” shopping festival.
