Why It Matters: This announcement comes in the wake of a series of events that have been shaping the narrative around Apple's future. Just a few days ago, Ives had already hinted at a potential turnaround for the tech giant, dubbing it a "Renaissance Of Growth." This was seen as a significant moment for the company, especially ahead of the WWDC.
为何重要：这一宣布是在一系列塑造苹果未来叙事的事件之后发布的。就在几天前，艾夫斯已经暗示这家科技巨头可能会出现转机，称其为 “增长的复兴”。对于公司来说，这被视为一个重要时刻，尤其是在WWDC之前。
Moreover, Ives had previously pointed out that the "seeds" for Apple's revival in China were being planted, and that patience was required to navigate the temporary weakness. This was seen as a positive sign for the company's future, especially in light of the recent developments.
此外，艾夫斯此前曾指出，苹果在中国复苏的 “种子” 正在播下，克服暂时的弱点需要耐心。这被视为公司未来的积极信号，尤其是考虑到最近的事态发展。
Furthermore, the potential of AI in the tech industry has been a hot topic of discussion. A recent report suggested that AI on iOS could drive higher institutional ownership of Apple's iPhone, potentially leading to a 23.5% upside for the stock. This further underscores the significance of Ives' latest announcement.
此外，人工智能在科技行业的潜力一直是讨论的热门话题。最近的一份报告表明，iOS上的人工智能可以推动苹果iPhone的机构所有权增加，这有可能使该股上涨23.5％。这进一步凸显了艾夫斯最新公告的重要性。
Meanwhile, Steve Eisman of "The Big Short" fame also highlighted Apple as a "hidden" play in the AI space, further adding to the growing interest in the company's AI potential.
同时，“The Big Short” 成名的史蒂夫·艾斯曼也强调苹果是人工智能领域的 “隐藏” 玩家，这进一步增加了人们对该公司人工智能潜力与日俱增的兴趣。
