"Apple's tradition should be innovation, progress, and providing customers with better products, not sticking to the old ways," Isabel said bluntly.
Cook remained unfazed by the other woman's aggressive language: "Isabel, you need to calm down."
"The problem is that the iPhone 13 had already completed CDCP in December of last year, and a series of related matters such as the overall product architecture, supplier resource assessment, and product form had been determined."
"Even if brain-computer interfaces are to be implemented, we can put them on the iPhone 14."
CDCP, or Conceptual Decision-Making and Review Stage, is the stage where the product is finalized and decisions are made regarding whether to initiate a project and related matters.
Isabel: "The process has only been going on for less than ten days, hasn't it?"
"We have plenty of time to modify the overall product architecture of the iPhone 13 now."
Cook raised another question: "So the iPhone 13 series in Greater China is completely different from the iPhone 13 series in other regions."
"It's like we're preparing a completely different iPhone 13 series just for the Greater China region."
"From design drawings to the internal structure of the phone, and then to components, the whole machine, and the motherboard, everything has to be customized."
Have you considered the increased costs involved?
"This means we need to complete the development of two mobile phones next year."
Isabel countered, "Have you ever used a brain-computer interface device?"
Cook's expression finally changed, his face filled with disbelief:
"It's an incredible invention; it seems to be able to completely recognize which button my brain wants to press."
"Our engineers created a beta version of a brain-computer interface for the iPhone, and I admit that operating the iPhone directly with my brain is a pleasure, completely freeing up my hands."
"It must be acknowledged that China has made great strides in technological innovation, and this brain-computer interface product is the best proof of China's technological progress."
"Our dear customers will soon see brain-computer interface iPhones."
"This timeframe will depend on when Kechuang Bio or other brain-computer interface R&D companies develop brain-computer interface devices with a wider range of applications."
Isabel: "You also know how much brain-computer interfaces improve the user experience."
"The more crucial point is that brain-computer interfaces are the best match for foldable screen phones. I can't believe that Samsung and Huawei's foldable screen phones are equipped with brain-computer interfaces, which will impact Apple's high-end market."
Foldable screens and brain-computer interfaces are a perfect match. Most current foldable screens rely on pens to compensate for situations where hands can't reach them. With brain-computer interface devices, people can free their hands.
The advantages of foldable screen phones as dedicated reading and office phones are fully realized.
"We cannot accept leaving the market open for competitors' brands to dominate in the era of brain-computer interfaces."
"You could have the lab build a foldable brain-computer interface phone, and next year in the Chinese market, only the most die-hard fans might stay."
"If you insist on not using brain-computer interface technology on the iPhone 13 or even the iPhone 14."
“We originally had an advantage in making brain-computer interface devices in the form of AirPods.”
"The new iPhones, iPads and Macs can all be equipped with brain-computer interface chips, so users only need one brain-computer interface device to control all Apple products with their brains."
"This is incredibly appealing to users."
"But now we have to watch helplessly as Samsung and Huawei take away our market share. Greater China is Apple's largest market outside of Europe and the United States."
"We can develop a brain-computer interface iPhone for the Greater China region as a preview for our future global brain-computer interface phone launch."
Cook pondered for a moment and said, "Let me think about it!"
......
The climate in Singapore is completely different from that in Suzhou. You can't expect a subtropical monsoon oceanic climate to be similar to a tropical rainforest climate.
However, both have the same characteristic: they both rain a lot. But in Singapore, the rain comes in bursts, which are intense but short-lived.
Suzhou often experiences continuous, prolonged periods of rain.
It was around 7 p.m. in Singapore when a sudden storm broke out.
Raindrops pattered against the glass curtain wall of the Sci-Tech Biotechnology Lion City R&D Center building, as if Zheng Li were shielded from all external perception.
Zheng Li is using optimized precision gene editing technology to precisely edit gene fragments.
The optimized precision gene-editing technology injects a gene-editing tool into one of the blastomeres when the mammalian fertilized egg has developed to the two-cell stage.
This results in two blastomeres, which theoretically have completely identical DNA from the same fertilized egg, forming a comparison relationship and eliminating possible individual differences.
However, this alone is insufficient to obtain enough DNA, because the amount of DNA in a single blastomere is extremely small, not enough for sequencing analysis.
Then, by injecting gene-editing tools, a special method is used to make this blastomere and its progeny cells fluoresce.
Then, this early embryo was directly implanted into the uterus of the mother mouse, allowing it to develop into a mouse fetus.
Once the mouse fetus grows to a sufficient size, the entire fetus is digested into a large number of single cells. Then, the offspring injected with gene-editing tools and the control blastomeres are distinguished by fluorescence differences. This results in two clusters of cells, each containing about half the total number of cells in the mouse fetus. Each cluster contains hundreds of millions of DNA molecules, which can be extracted for sequencing analysis, thus bypassing the in vitro amplification step and solving the problem of amplification noise.
