Looking ahead to the iPhone 15 and AI market
Since entering the last quarter of 2023, which is the first quarter of Apple's new fiscal year, the focus of Apple's performance growth has been on the iPhone 15 series, the new generation MacBook Pro, and iMac. Apple held grand press conferences in September and late October to promote these new products, respectively.
Regarding this financial report, Apple CEO Cook discussed the latest released iPhone 15 series phones, the Chinese market, and generative artificial intelligence (AI) during a subsequent conference call.
Cook said that in the fourth fiscal quarter, the iPhone set a record revenue in Chinese Mainland, accounting for four of the top five best-selling mobile phones in Chinese cities.
Regarding the newly released iPhone 15 series, Cook believes that sales will be better than the Phone 14 series launched last year. Cook said, "If you look at the performance of iPhone 15 during this period and compare it with iPhone 14 in the same period last year, you will find that iPhone 15 performs better than iPhone 14
Among them, the mid to high end iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max are in a situation of "insufficient supply". Cook stated that Apple is "working hard" to produce more iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max. We firmly believe that we will achieve supply and demand balance later in the quarter (October December), "he said.
In addition, the market is also very concerned about Apple's commercialization pace in generative AI. Cook stated that Apple has "invested a considerable amount of money" in AI.
Cook stated that Apple plans to adopt a "responsible" attitude when delving into generative AI technology. There are market rumors that Apple may launch some major AI updates in 2024, some of which will use generative AI technology.
