Converted to RMB, that's a market capitalization of ten trillion RMB.
It's hard to say whether this is considered a hot or cold topic, but when the iPhone 4 was released in 2012, Apple's market value hadn't even broken the trillion-dollar mark yet.
Not long after, negative news about Kechuang Bio began to emerge.
Apple's latest iPhone 17 series already incorporates Neuralink's brain-computer interface technology in some of its products.
In mid-December, news broke that Apple would increase the proportion of Neuralink components used in the iPhone 17 series.
The day after the news broke, the stock price of Kechuang Biotechnology remained completely unaffected.
On that day, a question was asked on Zhihu: "What are your thoughts on the large-scale adoption of Neuralink's brain-computer interface technology in the iPhone 17 series?"
"Thanks for the invitation. This is a helpless move by Apple."
Firstly, not all iPhone 17 models will see an increase in Neuralink's market share; only the iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Max will benefit.
The Pro series will still only feature the brain-computer interface technology developed by Kechuang Bio.
Another important reason is that Apple was in a hurry. In 2023, Apple also launched its own VR product and VR system, called ROS.
The response was still very enthusiastic in 2023, until the emergence of Futureverse.
Compared to Futureverse, Apple's VR is more expensive and the user experience is far inferior.
I estimate that Apple was determined to support Neuralink at that time because Apple knew that it was impossible for Kechuang Bio to license its brain-computer interface VR technology to them.
It was around that time that Neuralink became a supplier for Samsung's high-end series for the first time.
America, Korea, and even the entire West, need brain-computer interface manufacturers that can replace scientific and technological innovations.
Apple's expansion of Neuralink's market share is simply to support its development and its continued pursuit of advancement in the field of brain-computer interfaces.
The question is, is it even useful? The technology is five years behind, and those five years are only what outsiders perceive as five years.
Zheng Li is undoubtedly one of the world's top geniuses in the field of brain science. After becoming a mage, his talent in scientific research has been enhanced once again.
I reckon Earth can't contain him anymore; sooner or later he'll end up on Mars like Musk.
Getting back to the main point, Zheng Li's five years could be equivalent to neuralink's fifty years.
As for Apple's targeting of Sci-Tech Biotechnology, it's not just because it doesn't want Sci-Tech Biotechnology to monopolize technology.
Furthermore, the brain-computer interface VR technology being developed by Kechuang Bio can be considered the next generation of internet terminals.
It inherently has a fundamental conflict of interest with Apple, the previous dominant player in mobile internet devices.
When humans can perform most entertainment and work in brain-computer interfaces (VR), will we still need computers?
At most, you only need one mobile phone.
Faced with the challenge of brain-computer interface VR, Apple's support for Neuralink is a move born of necessity.
A company with a market value of trillions needs revolutionary products; it must eliminate others and seize their market share in order to rise to prominence.
Apple's rise devoured the PC market. After Apple ushered in the era of mobile internet, the growth rate of the PC market declined year by year until it turned negative.
The rise of innovative biotechnology companies will also require Apple to be replaced.
